AU + // "Digitaldrome"

AU+ è un duo di sperimentazione audiovisiva formato nel 2012 da Fabio Volpi (Otolab) e Rosarita Crisafi. Le performance audiovisive mettono in scena un viaggio interiore, alla ricerca di un segnale leggibile tra il caos della mente. L'installazione che presentano ad audiovisiva prevede la mappatura di una superficie tridimensionale disposta come un display digitale in cui giochi di pattern visivi si muovono in sincronia con la musica mentre una voce fuoricampo si comporta come una voce solista sopra le righe. Guarda il video della performance.

AUDIOVISIVA 2013

TECHNOLOGY WON'T SAVE US? Venerdì 24 maggio nuovo appuntamento con audiovisiva, il festival di esterni che quest'anno riscopre la sua vocazione originale: porre al centro della manifestazione un unico spazio, quello di Cascina Cuccagna, una delle più antiche cascine agricole milanesi che, per una intera notte, si reinventa grazie alla tipica sinergia tra musica, video, sound design e arti elettroniche della manifestazione. A metà tra tradizione e innovazione tecnologica, la parola chiave di questo appuntamento è #scoperta: di giovani artisti e di diversi linguaggi espressivi. Per questo appuntamento esterni collabora con Cromazoo, studio creativo multidisciplinare che si muove tra arte, design e comunicazione.

Actress

Meets Shangaan Electro

HONEST JON'S RECORDS

Two dazzling, out-there contributions from the inimitable Actress: an immersive, slashing thumper, ecstatic and convulsive, multi-layered and head-nodding, just about getting Mars on the radio; and a kind of unhinged marimba and thumb-piano variation, grubbing around manically in half-memories of African polyrhythm. Preview here: http://www.honestjons.com/label.php?pid=39147&LabelID=14815

Images & Music : Jean Piché Year of production: 2010-11 1080p24 Please note: this a a single screen variant of an original 3-HD screens work. What you see here is one third of the actual image. Océanes is part of a continuing series of videomusic works exploring the aesthetic potential of particle based computer generated imagery. Analogous to granular sound processing, particle synthesis allows for the creation and control of complex materials using an large number of very small components. Sound and image coordination does not explicitely use synchresis as a discursive device but aims for an elevated relation based on metaphor and emotional detachment, as if contemplating a field of images from a distant perspective. The music for Océanes is composed by the author utilizing mostly his own music software (Cecilia). All sounds are derived from formant synthesis (FOF), yielding realistic but highly extended vocal and woodwind timbres. No samples or recordings are used. Formant synthesis is similar to granular synthesis and creates sonic matter by accumulating a succession of formantic grains. Océanes exists as a single screen theatrical version and as a triple-screen installation work.

Demdike Stare live at audiovisiva 2011

Demdike Stare's music is fascinating and at the same time difficult to define, a sort of refined acoustic-mix that leans heavily on archival musical sources. Obscure library records, forgotten cult soundtracks, almost unrecognisable jazz fragments, early electronic music and industrial recordings are blended with a vast array of material from Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and East-Europe, almost unknown in the Western world. Demdike Stare mixes and re-edits these sounds through their variety of analogue machines that produce a plunderphonic yet completely new style of music.

Emeralds live at audiovisiva 2011

The Emeralds are a trio from Ohio, formed by John Elliot, Steve Hauschildt and Mark McGuire. They often play accompanied by self-produced images. Their music, largely improvised, is based on the sound of old synthesizers, oscillators and electric guitars, with the help of voices and field recordings used to create dynamic between melodic backgrounds and minimal rhythmic structures.

Mia Zabelka at audiovisiva 2011

Visual by Mia Makela

Mia Zabelka is a composer, electric violinist and vocalist from Vienna. As a pioneer of electro-acoustic performance and composition in Austria, Mia Zabelka developed the process she describes as automatic playing, continuously exploring sound and music as physical phenomena, always pushing back the boundaries in radical and provocative performances and compositions that question established notions and given structures. Her work has been described as "A dark delirium of sounds, a disintegrated vision on a complex world – an acoustic version of William Blake's poetry".
