NateWooley (New York) and Nicola L. Hein (Berlin)     Sunday 4
The trumpet player andguitarist will follow a philosophical question and play a conceptualcomposition - What is skeptic improvisation? The question of what itmeans to be skeptical about improvisation and to be an improvising skeptic willbe followed; it is the scepticism of the musicians regarding destiny, habitus,certainties, playing and the sense-games of musical action; the compositionserves to irritate the players and their certainties; it is about the challengeof thinking, the aesthetic thinking about thinking with the means ofimprovised music,, playing around and with the limits of musicalthought; revolving around the impossibility of an hyperbolic skepsis,watching the certainties arise on their own, which Nietzsche and Wittgensteinunderstood as an inherent feature of (musical) grammar; the aim is theidiosyncratic aesthetics of the sceptic musical act

PierreMarietan (Paris) A Video Event Sunday 18
Thisis an invitation for you to use your power of ubiquity; it is proposed herewith the transfer of a distant world to the moment of your listening and gazeonto the present; I have traveled the World and captured 32 short visualsequences and recorded and retained 37 audio situations; with theseelements I have composed a set juxtaposing/superimposing images and musicindependently from each other, leaving the freedom of interpretation betweensight and sound up to the spectator; it is by this perceptible process that thegift of ubiquity is acquired  ttps://pierremarietan.wordpress.com/

Bettina Wenzel(Germany)     Wednesday 21
Elasticmaterials are stretchable, over-stretchable and mostly unbreakable; a vocalresearch based on that principle leads to fall-out frequencies and wanted sideeffects that provide the main sound material for an ongoing research; unadulteratedand therefore natural, the resonating body generates extreme - minimal andmaximal - sound vibrations instantly shaped into musical structures; this canbe done in the way of a sculptor and by accepting the uncontrollable part; oneof the most recent results is "head oscillator", a serie ofproductive voice glitches       http://soundcloud.com/bettina-wenzel,http://www.wenzelvoice.de

RicardoArias (Colombia) and Judy Dunaway (US) - Sunday 25
Both  have separately specialized in free improvisationand experimental music on
the latex balloon fordecades, making it their main instrument; Arias’ background as a percussionistled him to develop the "balloon kit"("batería global”), andDunaway’s
background as a guitaristled her to approach each size and shape of
balloon as a soloinstrument; they will combine their expertise to expand and explore the detailsof their shared world and present heretofore unimagined sonic landscapes; thisconcert marks the first meeting of these two avant-garde virtuosi
