Bruckner Percussion plays Xénakis
Leonhard Schmidinger (AT), Fabian Homar (AT), Vladimir Petrov (BG)
Iannis Xénakis (1922-2001) composed Okho for three djembe players. The premiere took place on October 20, 1989 on the occasion of the Paris Autumn Festival. Our interpretation deviates from the original instrumentation and makes use of an extended percussion setup of the kind Xénakis himself uses in his solo piece Rebond B for percussion.
Mutual Understanding
Thomas Grill (AT)
Two acoustic agents incarnated by large horn loudspeakers are incessantly exchanging acoustic codes. Based on models of human vocalization, they develop their vocabulary independently from a natural language. In their ongoing discourse, they follow a common goal: to optimize the beauty of their own vocal expression.
The Neuromusic Education Simulator (NES) Project
Wiener Sängerknaben (AT), Gerald Wirth (AT)
In cooperation with developmental psychologists and pedagogues, Professor Gerald Wirth developed his engagement-centric teaching methodology. The use of the Neuromusic Education Simulator, based on the Wirth method and applying VR & AR, allows teachers and students to practice, gain experience and receive feedback, including talent and deficiency detection (ADHD).
SHOJIKI “Play Back” Curing Tapes
Muku Kobayashi (JP), Mitsuru Tokisato (JP)
Rewinding curing tapes with a motor. The performers use a switch to control the rotation direction of the motor and its ON/OFF. Each time the tape is rewound on to the motor axis, it makes peeling sounds and continuant sounds.
NOISA
Koray Tahiroglu (FI/TR)
NOISA, the Network of Intelligent Sonic Agents, is an interactive music system that monitors the performer’s actions and provides autonomous and non-intrusive counteractions. In this co-creative music performance, intelligent sonic agents are designed to support the music performance by providing responses that encourage and maintain the communication and motivation of the performer with the NOISA system.
Soundform No.1
Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Mikhail Mansion (US), Kuan-Ju Wu (US)
Soundform No.1 is a minimalistic soundscape and kinetic art installation that transforms heat energy into a poetically evolving, spatiotemporal composition. Through modulations of heat, light and motion, the artwork creates an ever-changing atmosphere of Zen-like tonal patterns and visual effects.
Fantasie#1
Quadrature (DE) in collaboration with Christian Losert (DE)
Via a radio telescope in front of the venue, the noise of the skies is performed by a self-playing organ. Little by little, neural networks take control over the organ and seek out familiar harmonies in the otherworldly noises. Ideas of melodies evolve as the artificial intelligence begins to fantasize about familiar tunes in these alien sounds.
