mas voz @ Ottosonics festival, September 28

On the last weekend of September 2024, the third OTTOsonics Festival will once again host and present diverse immersive sound works and performances with and by national and international artists. This year the program specifically sheds light on live, multi-instrumental acts amplified by the OTTOsonics multichannel systems.

My composition mas voz is about strolling while listening and the identities of the surroundings, anecdotal memories and one’s own personality, which enter into a sonic/vocal conversation. The piece is performed live and has site-specific components that are adapted to the environment of each performance.

The composition was made possible by the Austrian State Scholarship for Composition of the BMKOES.

Black Box Music @ Speculative Sound Symposium, September 27

In the context of our artistic research project “Spirits in Complexity”, we conduct a musical performance involving black box electronic music systems that have each been created/selected by one team member, but are played by another team member, unaware of the inner workings. The technologies involved as non-human partners are vintage analog systems, physical modelling systems and AI-driven synthesis based on a sample corpus. The fact that one of the players knows more about the instrument than the actual player shall give rise to interesting dynamics of musical anticipation.

Performers: Thomas Grill, Angélica Castelló, Patrik Lechner, Marco Döttlinger

Friday 27.9. 18h
Ligeti Hall @ Mumuth
Lichtenfelsgasse 14, 8010 Graz

The Speculative Sound Synthesis Symposium brings together sound artists, computer music composers and performers that are dedicated to critical, speculative approaches situated at the intersection of art and technology. It addresses practices that question, challenge, criticize, deconstruct, recompose, reformulate, shift, dislocate, endanger or reject established standards in sound synthesis and (music) technology.

The symposium takes place 26.–28.9. in Graz, Austria as part of the artistic research project Speculative Sound Synthesis, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within the program for Arts-based research PEEK (AR 713-G). It is hosted by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG). More information on the project can be found here.

My voice, my void @ MTTW, September 18

MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN – After-Premiere Music Performance

Marino Formenti (IT), Irena Tomažin (SI), Thomas Grill (AT)

In their first collaboration, Marino Formenti, Irena Tomažin and Thomas Grill conceived an entertaining and abysmal musical performance for the MTTW after-premiere party. Based on the situation and mood of a pop event, they play with the associated clichés. In doing so, they scrutinise and sabotage the idea of the human voice as an intimate and truthful communication, as a very personal, unique “signature”.
Voice, player piano and computer are the main elements of this performance on the border between human and technology, intimate communication and disembodiment, presence and emptiness.

water sound flows @ Salzkammergut 2024, August 5–11, 2024

Through compositional and performative activities in Bad Ischl, Bad Goisern and Grundlsee, with different – sometimes unorthodox – ways of acoustic recording and propagation, a network of sound streams is created over hills and through valleys.

Sound is transformed, takes on colors, tastes and smells, absorbs impurities and leaves behind residues – just like water flowing through a landscape. Workshops, installations and concert performances make it possible to participate and immerse oneself in the water-sound currents.

In water sound flows, we conduct four distinct projects:

  • Kassiber optoacoustic installation in Bad Ischl, 5.–8. August, with Klaus Filip and Thomas Grill
  • Klangfischen (sound fishing) workshops and concert in Bad Goisern, 7. and 10. August, with Angélica Castelló, Katharina Klement, Christian Kapun, Luciana Rizzo and guests
  • drifts sound walks in Gössl/Grundlsee, 9.–11. August, with Katharina Hauke and Till Bovermann
  • relief/terrain acousmatic concert in Bad Ischl, 9.+10. August, with Wolfgang Musil, Thomas Grill, Kasho Chualan, Jonas Hammerer, Markus Sepperer and Finnian Treherne

Talk @ POM conference, Aachen, April 24

I will hold a lecture performance “Spirits in complexity: Making kin with experimental music systems – a manifesto” at the Politics of the Machines conference (April 22-27) in Aachen.

My presentation will be on Wednesday April 24th 15:00 as part of Track 12 (“Spiritual machines”).

Musical practice typically entails close practical and affective relations with involved objects — acoustic instruments and other technological equipment.
Over time, these objects become trusted professional partners, challengers of bodily and intellectual interaction.
Such non-human entities are attributed thing-power, with the ability to exceed a status of mere objects and to generate encounters to an out-side of our experience.
Work relations with them can be of a reciprocal kinship, but also of a more negotiative or even confrontational nature, or take on ritualistic and spiritual forms.
The notion of the spirits is used metaphorically to indicate an opaque complexity and stands for a self-willedness of technological systems.

This is in the context of our new artistic research project Spirits in Complexity, funded by the Austrian Science Fund [10.55776/AR821].

Klangmanifeste festival @ Echoraum, April 12-19 2024

KLANGMANIFESTE

More than networks – Knotenpunkte in der Klangkunst

In der Überzeugung, dass Kunst niemals im luftleeren Raum entsteht, sondern immer ein synergetischer Prozess aus unzähligen Einflüssen, Anknüpfungen an Bestehendes und Nicht-Eigenes ist, widmen wir die Klangmanifeste 2024 dem Thema der Knotenpunkte in der Klangkunst: den flüchtigen und festen Verbindungen und deren Manifestationen – zwischen Mensch und Mensch, zwischen Mensch und Material, zwischen Mensch und Maschine usf. Wir stellen zwischenmenschliche Kollaborationen in der Klangkunst der Kooperation zwischen Mensch und Maschine gegenüber und miteinander in Verbindung.

Day 3 – 17. April:
19:30 Digital Doppelgänger | Ivar Roban Križić
20:30 Dirty spaces – Entangling | Thomas Grill & Ivar Roban Križić
anschließend: Talk mit den Künstlern

Die Performance „Entangling“ arbeitet mit akustischen Feedbacks und mittels eines AI-Widerparts, der sich aus konkretem Klangmaterial aus Field recordings speist. Die Domänen durchdringen einander und verschränken den Raum der Aufführung und die externen Räume, aus denen die Field Recordings stammen. Die AI-Komponente ist ein samplebasierter Synthesizer, der zuhört und sich einbringt, bisweilen imitierend, bisweilen kontrastierend, oder auch disruptiv. Aus dem Wechselspiel entsteht ein komplexes Netzwerk aus klanglich-inhaltlichen Assoziationen, das während der Performance mit und gegen den AI-Gegenspieler entwickelt wird.
