Wacław Zimpel
Wacław Zimpel
21 December 2018 - 28 December 2018
Wacław Zimpel is one of the most original and unique talents to have emerged from Poland. A multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer of rare distinction, music has flowed through and from him since an early age. Inspired as much by jazz as he is by electronics, minimalism and roots music from across the world, Wacław Zimpel doesn’t so much blur boundaries as eradicate them altogether to create a whole new musical language.
Dark Emotions
Zwoisy Mears-Clarke, Assi Pakkanen
3 December 2018 - 8 January 2019
Within the frame of ‘Dark Emotions’, Zwoisy will be finding a graspable translation of the emotions shame, anger, disgust, and love, while looking at them as the residue of the emotional labor related to (doing, ignoring, or experiencing) discriminatory events. The works of writers whose roots hail from black feminist theory will be a way to define and contextualize these emotions as possibilities for community and empowerment.

The project revolves around the weather, the force of nature and its soundscapes. The sound tracks will be based on field recordings made in different locations, mostly from Iceland and Gotland. In these sounds the power of nature is in a kind of imbalance: the sounds are threatening, vibrating, alarming and capturing at the same time nature’s great reserves of power.
Leif JF Calloiscott
Francis Patrick Brady, John B McKenna, Leif J.F. Callioscott
3 November 2018 - 9 March 2019
A presentation of original recordings and a reenactment of the little-known Swedish child psychologist Leif J. F. Callioscott. He was an experimental practice based academic whose theory of ‘Audible Transitional Objects’ places play and fantasy as crucial cornerstones in child development. At the same time, he was convinced that the fantastical, magical or “unreal” sonic elements that we are exposed to whilst young help us create a picture of reality as its polar opposite.

Neuronal Landscapes
Varvara Guljajeva, Mar Canet

Yann Coppier, Signe Allerup, Morten Riis Sørensen, Johan Kølkjær, Michael Breiner, Possible participation: Kitt Johnson

Yann Coppier aims to create a topology of sounds linked to dramaturgy and based on observation and imagination through practice-based investigation. Making extensive use of the ‘absurd’ as a way of pinpointing the new potential of sounds, it will help to develop innovation through meaning as a replacement for innovation through technology only.
Returning the Ear
Tim Shaw, Jacek Smolicki
26 November 2018 - 2 December 2018
‘Returning the Ear’ is an on-going collaboration between Tim Shaw and Jacek Smolicki. It is a particular method for attending to, archiving and mediating space through an array of sonic interventions and on-site experiments. If traditionally the experience and documentation of place has been performed through visual or textual means, the approach of the artists attempts to bring attention to practices of listening and audio-recording.
Broom as ice-skater
Anne Elisabeth Eckersberg
1 October 2018 - 31 January 2019
This project is an on-going investigation into how illusions of space and movement are constructed, today and throughout history, and how these constructions shape the way we understand reality. These questions are investigated through the medium of animation and 3D-scanning, and by examining elements such as souvenirs, toys, landscape-gardens, architectural floorplans, impulse responses, Foley sound, apostrophes, folly ruins, elliptical poetry, baroque machines, trompe l'oeils, theater scenography, film sets, and special effects.

Athroa
Zoe Efstathiou, Egil Kalman
27 October 2018 - 4 November 2018
"Athroa" is a composition that combines an improvised electroacoustic performance with an interactive light installation. In this composition, space, rather than time, is the basis of formal organisation, and the experience of the music will be embodied in the process of navigating through space and observing objects from different vantage points. The music is in counterpoint with a light installation which interacts with the sounds and musical textures in non-obvious (non-rhythmical) ways.

The project “Sequential Spaces” evolves around an interaction of the unique glass instrument Cristal Baschet, digital electronics and spatial sound. The two composers Mike Sheridan and Jakob Riis will create new music together in an investigation of the instrument Cristal Baschet in combination with electronic analysis and sound processing developed especially for this project. With its origins in the french 'musique concrète' it feels like a natural step to investigate the possibilities of this instrument in an expanded electronic setting.

Christian Rønn
17 September 2018 - 28 September 2018
“Enveloping” is the working-title of a performance-idea that has developed slowly over some years working within the field of free improvisation, electronics/electroacoustic and fixed composition.

Through custom built field recording techniques, they will explore the sounds produced by wireless internet signals and the circuitry of media infrastructures.
Mother of Pearl
Barbara Amalie Skovmand Thomsen, Marie-Louise Andersson
20 August 2018 - 29 September 2018
In the concert performance 'Mother of Pearl' Barbara and Marie-Louise are transformed into abstractions of oysters stemming from a surreal world under water in a depth where the boundaries between humans and other living organisms dissolve. By setting metal plates into motion, the plates function as musical instruments. A rhythmic interference occurs, as a result of playing rhythmic polyrhythms together.

lost, lost property
Akiko Diegel
30 April 2018 - 11 May 2018
“Lost, lost property” is the act of collecting information from lost property on the street, and from photographs of such lost property. Akiko Diegel creates the missing half in order to create a whole. Ironically, the original property may have eventually been picked up by its proprietor and, if it is so, the new creation of the missing half will then never meet its other half and therefore in itself becomes lost property – an almost contradictory allegory of the act of collecting.

“What was forbidden in Spain during the dictatorship?". “Living. And thinking”. These words are the starting point of an epistolary conversation between the artist and her mother brimming with confessions about their intimacy and daily life over different ages. After ten years of living abroad, this exchange is an attempt to grasp the various narratives that conditioned the artist’s upbringing, in a country where Catholic religion and Francoism were the official doctrine.

Twenty Ongoing Tones
Stephen McEvoy
31 January 2018 - 8 February 2018
