PLAYERS__Golnar Shahyar + Anja Obermayer + Ines Kolleritsch ♥️
🖍️ December 1, 2023
🖍️
 
Within the framework of DE/SEMBLE, this constellation of three artists — , .om and — will perform live together for the first time. The performance idea aims to combine the artists' different voices and rediscover their existing repertoire.
 
Golnar Shahyar is an Iranian/Canadian vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist who settled in Vienna in 2008. Golnar's music draws from Western Asia, North Africa, Europe, and the Americas, blending languages and styles from different traditions. Golnar is known for her supreme musicianship, with her voice being an exquisitely honed instrument that is evocative and flexible. Her music creates a landscape of emotion and narrative, informed by tradition but completely her own.
 
Anja Obermayer, also known as Anja Om is a Vienna based Vocalist. In the compositions of her recently released debut album “Egocentric Vision”, she plays with reflected egocentricity and seemingly banal but intense emotions. Inspired by artists such as Björk, Laura Mvula and choir composer Eric Whitacre, she combines contemporary polyphony, improvisation, narrative pop songs and piano-based art song. Questioning herself lyrically, she embarks on a search for the momentary, self-centered truth. By using what is probably the oldest instrument — the voice — her music explores individuality and emotionality and tells stories of being human.
 
Ines Kolleritsch is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter based in Vienna. Originally localized in singer-songwriter jazz, Kolleritsch' has developed into a cross-genre artist over the last 10 years. Both in their compositions and in their work as a booker, they create musical bridges between experimental and alternative pop. Since 2012, Ines' work has also extended beyond numerous musical projects to include workshops, band coaching and music management. Currently, Ines can be found on stage with the new solo project “Brazey”.

PLAYERS // Analog Visuals Vienna ♥️
🖍️ December 1, 2023
🖍️



Step into a realm where the fluidity of analog forms meets the pulse of digital technology. Viktoria Sigl and Denny Voch, the duo behind Analog Visuals Vienna, are redefining the sensory experience of visuals in live performances. Harnessing the organic beauty of analog liquids, their craft begins with the filming of mesmerizing liquid patterns and natural swirls. This raw footage, brimming with the untamed elegance of color and form, serves as the canvas to their creativity.

The result? A captivating visual symphony that ebbs and flows with the rhythms of the soundscape. Analog Visuals Vienna's performances are not just seen; they are felt. Each show is an invitation to journey through abstract vistas and psychedelic dreamscapes, guided by the synchronization of sight and sound.

Analog Visuals Vienna doesn't just create shows; they sculpt an environment where each visual narrative is a unique encounter with the pulse of music.

Agnes Hvizdalek , voice
Jakob Schneidewind, electronics

PNØ is the duo project of experimental vocalist Agnes Hvizdalek and techno innovator Jakob Schneidewind on electronics. They combine minimalistic musical structures with organic improvisations, pure vocal sounds with drum machines, synthesizers and effects that trigger and manipulate each other’s output. Although they went in different directions with their artistic careers, Agnes Hvizdalek and Jakob Schneidewind have been collaborating since they met in improvisation classes at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 2005. Their vision for the future of music makes them explore crossing points between free improvisation and electronic dance music.

Magdalena Salner is a video artist whose work explores the possibilities of moving images. Her creative range spans from immersive video installations to experimental short films, music videos, experimental 3D films, and VR experiences. An essential component of her visual compositions is the manipulation of video recordings through visual effects. This intricately weaves the elements of music, sound, and rhythm into the visual narrative. The captivating aesthetics in her work play a significant role in the overall experience. Her creations challenge the viewer to reconsider their accustomed perception of moving images while inviting them to embark on a sensory journey. Salner's works have been presented in numerous exhibitions and film festivals both domestically and abroad. Currently, she lives and works in Vienna and Tyrol.

Christine Haupt, born 1990 in Regensburg, works with new digital media, interaction of human and machine, as well as the visual concepts relating to this. Her focus is on real-time, computer-generated and audio-reactive animations. She was able to learn the technical basics for this both in her studies of media technology at the Technical University of Ilmenau and in her profession as a software developer in the field of web development.

Pamelia Stickney ༘ Georg Vogel
Turning the Screws with Claviton & Theremin
Saturday, 28.10.2023 ⚗️ .wien
Vienna, Austria

A new experimental duo project by Georg Vogel () and Pamelia Stickney, two virtuostic musicians with a passion for harmony and appreciation for diverse musical styles, who specialize in performing on instruments built with the capacity for reaching microtonal intervals - the Claviton and the Theremin.

What is a Claviton?
Its sound resembles a harpsichord when acoustic, and with the use of midi, many more sound colors are accessible. The main feature of the Claviton keyboard instrument is the multi-tone/microtonal keyboard with multiple upper keys divided to enable enharmonic differentiation as independent pitches; an octave is comprised of 31 tones.

In doing so, a tradition is taken up again which had its heyday on harpsichords and organs in the 16th and early 17th centuries and then fell into oblivion.

What is a Theremin?
Invented over 100 years ago, it is the grandfather of keyboard synthesizers. What sets it apart from the later generation of synths is the fact that it is the only instrument which is played without any physical contact. There is one antenna for pitch control, and another for controlling volume level - the movements of the hands/body of the performer create an interference within the electromagnetic fields of the antennae which with skilled hands can be shaped to resemble a human voice or a stringed instrument - which are capable of producing microtones.

Georg and Pamelia will be ‘Turning the Screws’, stretching the listeners ears to experience new sensations in harmony with original compositions (influenced by classical and jazz styles) exploring the rich microntonal palette that is possible with their unique instruments.

… AND CAN NOT REACH THE SILENCE
Friday, 27.10.2023 ⚗️
Vienna, Austria

Rdeča Raketa (Red Rocket) is the electronic music duo of Maja Osojnik () and Matija Schellander (). Their new project "… and cannot reach the silence" deals with the current world of misunderstandings, communicating past each other, willingly and unwillingly overlooking or ignoring each other’s meanings via various fast-paced forms and platforms of communication; and, with that, the tightening of incompatible parallel “realities.” It explores forms of violence; physical and verbal, external and self-inflicted. It explores forms of power; the dangerous thin line between giving power to and giving power over oneself, and forms of subjugation and addiction on both societal and, more significantly, on interpersonal levels.

Modular synthesizers and cut-up samples mixed with manipulated CD players and recordings of acoustic instruments and Lield recordings, along with elaborate sound processing, ultimately creates a wondrously heterogeneous mixture. For this project, they have invited a video artist Patrick K.-H. (Vienna/St. Petersburg) to collaborate with.

The abstract-concrete video of Patrick K.-H. () comes out of his works in analog collage and naturally bears its qualities, such as characteristic imprecise cuts and overlapping of typographical standards that otherwise don’t meet.

„Dance of Gentleness“
Friday, 27.10.2023 ⚗️ .wien
Vienna, Austria 

Miriam Adefris () – harp, effects
Mona Matbou Riahi () – clarinette, effects
Lukas Kranzelbinder () – double bass, e-bass


"Dance of Gentleness" is the title of the programme of the newly formed trio of Miriam Adefris, Lukas Kranzelbinder and Mona Matbou Riahi. While Riahi and Kranzelbinder have known each other for many years and recorded a joint album as part of the 2018 SWR NewJazzMeeting led by the Carinthian bassist, contact with Miriam Adefris initially came about by chance.

When British saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings (with whom Kranzelbinder has already collaborated several times in his band Shake Stew) promoted a joint concert with the harpist in London via social media, Lukas Kranzelbinder became aware of the musician and invited her without further ado as a guest musician to Shake Stew's home gig at the Vienna Konzerthaus.

After this brilliant debut, the desire for further joint concerts was great and so the ideal trio partner was found in Mona Matbou Riahi. The Iranian clarinettist had already cooperated with Miriam Adefris in the "Wetter etc." project. And so it was perhaps destined that the paths of these three exceptional musicians would cross sooner or later.

Friday, 27.10.2023 ⚗️
Vienna, Austria

An encounter of two exceptional artists.

Sofia Labropoulou () is a Kanun player, composer, and improviser who has developed a distinct sound by masterfully blending the worlds of folk, classical Ottoman, western Medieval, experimental, and contemporary music.
As a soloist, she collaborates with renowned composers, musicians, and orchestras from all over the world, she composes music and presents Kanun and Greek folk music master classes worldwide.
Her first personal album “Sisyphus” was released in December 2020 (Odradek Records).
She currently lives in Vienna.

“Tracing down his childhood memories, Iran born composer and multi-instrumentalist Alireza Toghiyani (.toghiyani) recalls his first encounter with music as being extremely haptic – as the son of an instrument maker who has ever since specialized in building the Santur (Persian dulcimer) he has been surrounded by materials which were to become well balanced instruments.
Listening to his music one inevitably takes notice of his sensibility in treating instruments, extracting their most unusual and magical sounds.
His academic background and his subsequent withdrawal from the world of academia as well as his latest venture into electronics add to the versatility of his musical approaches which always seem to oscillate between intuitive play and the purest form of composition.”
