"Time Flies"

Tiago Cutileiro concluded recently his PhD in Music and Musicology on the concept of Opera and Non-Narrative Music. Using different means like sung voice, spoken voice, and video projected text, his research tries to find points of connection between a music that thoroughly avoids a paradigm of quasi-linguistic articulation, on one side, and the paradoxical use of text within that same music, on the other. His work includes instrumental music (chamber and orchestral; with or without electronics), electronic music, sound installations, and music for theatre and film ( http://thegiveups.wordpress.com/ ).

Korhan Erel and Antje Vowinckel - Turkish Thresholds

Dear friends and colleagues,

on Sunday June, 29th, 17.00 Korhan Erel and Antje Vowinckel present a sound art program at

Errant Bodies
Kollwitzstr. 97
10435 Berlin
www.errantbodies.org

1 - Novel in glass. Turkish sound vitrines based on motifs by Orhan Pamuk. By Antje Vowinckel, Produktion HR/SWR 2014, 54 minutes
2 - The Threshold. Film by Fabian Astore (Sound design Korhan Erel), (Joint winner of the Blake Prize 2012), 7 minutes
3 - Improvisation Korhan Erel, computer and controllers, Antje Vowinckel, organ and objects, 15 minutes

Parallel to his novel "The Museum of Innocence" Orhan Pamuk had built a museum of the same title in Istanbul, assembling objects that play a role in the novel. In more than 80 vitrines the objects correspond in a new way and convey the zeitgeist of the western orientated upper class in Istanbul's 70s. Commissioned by HR and SWR, Antje Vowinckel transformed the idea of the museum into acoustic images, using glass
resonances as an acoustic metaphor for the vitrines.

The Threshold
Sitting at the threshold, the presence of childhood innocence renders complex boundaries to a moment of spiritual elevation. A video recorded serendipitously in Istanbul, Turkey in January 2012.

The Stranger that is next to me

The Stranger that is next to me

A collection of audio works from practitioners around the world concerned with and focused on The Stranger ....

that is over there, that is right in front, that is moving away, that is fast approaching, at the next table, sitting across, staring into space, with nothing to do, that brushes passed, or that bumps into me, outside, on the beach, that interrupts, and that suddenly lends a hand, as the embodiment of city life, that I cannot overlook, whose fortune is to remain on the periphery, who dislikes being a stranger, riding his bike, that stops to look into the window, on her phone, that is no one and everywhere, that I do not know nor ever will, whose eyes never stop moving, that smiles at us or that seems threatening, that loves to sing in public, without a home, and that I wish to meet, that I overhear, and as a question of community.

MUSICA FUTURISTA: THE ART OF NOISES

"The variety of noises is infinite. If today, when we have perhaps a thousand different machines, we can distinguish a thousand different noises - tomorrow, as new machines multiply, we will be able to distinguish ten, twenty, or thirty thousand different noises, not merely in a simply imitative way, but to combine them according to our imagination."
from "The Art of Noises" Luigi Russolo, 1913

101 years later, Italian/German sound artist and vocalist Alessandra Eramo interprets the Futurist Music Manifesto “The Art of Noises” of Luigi Russolo, using the human voice. Starting in 2013, the performance is based on Russolo's statement that the sonic palette of noises, generated by machines and the urban soundscape requires a new approach to musical instrumentation and composition. Therefore noise not only becomes a Leitmotiv in music but it also turns into musical material itself. The list of words that recall different sounds - such as thunder, whistles, roars, booms, grumbles, snorts - is part of the Futurist manifesto. These "onomatopoeic" words are the origin of the performance project “ROARS_BANGS_BOOMS” for which Alessandra Eramo wrote 7 variations for voice.

At Errant Bodies she will present the Variation #4: She exhibits her large-format drawings as graphic transcriptions of the onomatopoeic words that in a performance she will interpret with her body and voice.

I have most recently been working with ideas of audienceship in conjunction with notions of sympathetic resonance and empathetic feedback loops. At Errant Bodies, returning to some conceptions of public address systems, I will mix in ideas of sound absorption and diffusion, experimenting with polyrhythms of atmosphere and amplified talk in doing so.

Johnny works in Bergen, Norway having studied for free at the Bergen Academy for Art and Design. He previously studied music composition in England and Germany.

Hannes Lingens - Four Pieces for Quintet

Hannes Lingens - Four Pieces for Quintet
Download and Print release (insub.)

Saturday, February 8th, 7pm

Errant Bodies
Kollwitzstrasse 97
10435 Berlin

Johnny Chang - viola
Hannes Lingens - accordion
Koen Nutters - double bass
Derek Shirley - double bass
Michael Thieke - clarinet

The Five Pieces for Quintet (four of which are represented on this release) are both a visual work and a suite of minimalistic compositions. Graphic systems to be interpreted as musical scores, with colors representing pitch regions. Five floating chords, static on first sight, but full of detailed inside movement. Exact tuning and rhythm are left to the decisions of the players, which guarantees each perfomance to be unique and results in a richness of microtonal phaenomena.

My pieces evoke the idea of a system. I like the thought that someone could find these images and, assuming a certain logic behind them, try to find out what they mean. This someone might come up with a completely different result from our realization of the scores. If music is about communication, then maybe these pieces are about language.

The release comes in the shape of a paperback-sized screenprinted jacket containing an A3 poster with prints of the scores and accompanying texts.
