external operator

Ilia Viazov (RU), Paulina Andrzejak (PL), Diego Alejandro Morales Castillo (NI)

Wandering through a post-musical landscape of the psyche, external operator presents an ecosystem of relationships between source and output, blurring the lines between intention and realization. Using light and sound, the performance explores the inner processes of language attrition.

FOGGING AROUND NIGHTLINES

STADTWERKSTATT / STWST (AT), Various Sound and Performance Artists

The STWST stage incorporates the FOG CUBE into its curatorial concept and presents two nights of sound art in the fog. FOGGING AROUND will bring deep and experimental sounds into the early hours of the morning.

Organism: In Turbulence

Navid Navab (IR/CA)

A concert with a historic organ, robotically prepared to surf upon the self-organizing tendency of its turbulent formations. Navab aerodynamically shapes the resulting ecology of interdependent timbres into emergent realms, traversing microsonic polyrhythms, post-rock overspill and swampy soundscapes.

Sonic Ecologies

Jacob Elias Aran (DE), Diana Karle (DE), Jasper Seibert (DE), Robin Max Wieber (DE), Karlotta Sperling (DE), Lisa Zwinscher (DE), in collaboration with Nina Bendix Igleses (BR)

Sonic Ecologies is a sonic and performative platform presenting a collaborative concert that investigates the ecological, generative, and disruptive dimensions of listening. How many voices can we truly attend to at once? What new patterns emerge when we shift how—and with what—we listen?

Sonic Saturday: Audible Denial, Sonic Unheard

Anton Bruckner University Linz (AT)

Sonic Saturday hosted by Anton Bruckner University expands into a two-day event of sonic art, featuring concerts, performances, installations, and informal exchanges between artists and researchers. This year’s edition explores how we listen through the crisis—not to calm it, nor to amplify it, but to sense how sound both conceals and reveals.
