Subjectivization of Sound, a sound performance that gradually
transforms into an interactive installation - is based on interaction with
space and viewers; by contrasting and matching two principles of the synthesis
of electronic sound, analog and digital, each time the audio artists create
a new sound that includes the sense of space, people and everything around
them. the chief instruments of Grachev are the development environment Max/MSP
and the platform Arduino for communication with space, and the analog modular
synthesizer of Komarov; the mobility and variability of the performance are of
great significance: any available equipment which happens to be on the site can
be used; An Audio Performance Project by CYLAND Media Art Lab

Shea (New York) Sunday 5
Endgame of the Anthropocene is Talibam!’s (Matt
Mottel - synthesizers and
Kevin Shea- drums, electronics) first cinematic performance of
through-composed ecogothic geosonics; it is the soundtrack to 2048’s despotic
nationalism and crumbling international infrastructure,
underscoring an eco-mercantilistic tragedy and the desperate plundering of
Antarctica, the last pristine landscape on Earth; it is a dystopian sonic
pronouncement of failed socio-environmental memes, and features Talibam!’s
emergence into hyperkinetic rhythm-based instrumental/electronic music; this
music will be released on ESP-DISK in
the second half of 2017 www.talibam.bandcamp.com youtube.com/talibambam

METROSCAN: A live audiovisual concert by Jurgutis (live electronics) and
Nevcesauskas (live video) which reflects electronics, glitch, beats, noise,
realtime generated computer graphics, visuals, various nowadays
data streams, post-urban and post-internet aesthetics; the title of the work
has derived from Metro, Metropolis, Metronome, Metrics and similar meanings and
inspirations, these many-sided concepts are digitally objectified and
originally developed in this project; the project is based on a purely digital
aesthetics where specially live generating visual structures and diligent
images interflow and interact with sophisticated electronic music - endless
layers and textures of purely digital sound balanced on the edge of audibility,
peculiar and diverse rhythms and pulsations www.youtube.com/user/Metroscan1

“Wow, can’t believe that’s
what you think of me…” An evening of virtual reality and performance
celebrating tiny, trivial thoughts and creativity, and incomplete information;
punctuating the night will be videos using my “tattooing” technique, which
superimposes animation on to live action

video/film artists and sound/music artists specifically intended for
single-channel projection with no live or performance component; featuring
