Che si può fare
Monica Vlad (RO), Johanna Falkinger (AT)
The theme of this performance is based on feelings of melancholy, sadness, fear of loss, meditation and anger and how music can be used in any way to express and release these emotions.
Knotting the Memory // Encoding the Khipu_
Patricia Cadavid H. (CO)
This performance wants to pay homage to the Khipu, reusing it as an instrument for interaction and generation of experimental live sound and video. The artist will be a contemporary *khipukamayuq* (Khipu knotter) who seeks to encode the interrupted legacy of this ancestral practice through the knots. With each knot made, an audiovisual composition is constructed that yearns to vindicate the memory and indigenous resistance of the native peoples of the Andes. Triality is an unconventional exploration of VR technologies that challenges the limits of our perception.
ZoomBx: KTV Sessions Vol II.
Rico Graupner (DE)
ZoomBx: KtV Sessions Vol II. focuses on the experimental exploration for real-time-driven composition of public soundscapes. Sound events and movement patterns inside a terrarium are tracked, interpreted, and acoustically applied to a concrete fusion with the outer soundscape. The result is an automated soundscape composition between randomness and determinism, from which questions about the cultural significance of designed sounds and the originality of acoustic phenomena can be deduced.
NOLANDX
Ulf Langheinrich (DE)
*NOLANDX* is an audiovisual composition. The aesthetic nucleus of the work are the image planes, algorithmically generated noise and lines as well as recordings of sea waves. This referential source material is transformed by slit-scan and other interventions on the time level. The result is a pulsating, stereoscopically black and white space: immersion in the interworld.

APPARATUM
panGenerator (PL)
Digital interface meets purely analogue sound. The APPARATUM was inspired by the heritage of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio — one of the first studios in the world to produce electroacoustic music. The installation draws inspiration musically and graphically from the “Symphony – Electronic Music” composed by Bogusław Schaeffer. Here, analogue sound generators, based on magnetic tape and optical components, are controlled via a graphic score with a digital interface. NOTE: You can create and listen to your own composition, print out your score and retrieve it in the online archive of APPARATUM.
Wiki-Piano.Net
Alexander Schubert (DE)
Wiki-Piano.Net is a composition for piano that can be co-designed by internet users. Everything that the community has made available on the website will be performed on stage. This can be not only music, but also texts, images, or other content. For the musical realization of this score, the performing pianist has piano, keyboard, and his own voice at his disposal. It is not possible to study and practice this composition in the classical sense, but it is not the masterpiece either that is in the foreground of this project. Rather, it is a matter of continuous observation and playful exploration of community behavior and internet use.
