Marla Hlady and Christof Migone (Toronto)     Friday 7
Theycollaborate on somatic performance and mechanized kinetics with sound at thecentre; they each have individual practices that began in the late 1980s/early1990s; they started collaborating in 2015 with a project at the Errant Bodiesproject space in Berlin and have since performed at Ftarri (Tokyo), the ArtGallery of Ontario and Array Music (Toronto); their strategies include:Shifting singulars into plural; adding ad infinitum, butthen distilling until densities emerge; some humour tinged withpathos; taking the word ‘concern’ seriously, yet steeped in explorations thatretain a notion of play; rerouting, reinjecting, responding; finding edges;mining particularities; rippled resonances; subtle alterations of tension andattention; moored, anchored even, yet nimble, and at times furtive

ClaudiaRobles (Colombia/Germany)  Monday 10
Her work and research cover different aspects ofvisual and sound art, which span from audiovisual fixed-media compositions toperformances and/or installations featuring the interaction with biomedicalsignals; on this occasion, she presents some of her audiovisual compositionsand the performance SKIN - a piece in which she interacts with sounds andimages through her skin’s moisture measured by a GSR (Galvanic Skin Response)interface; variations of values in skin moisture are an indication ofpsychological or physiological arousal, such as stress or relaxation; thevisual environment of SKIN is therefore created by microscopic images from theperformer’s skin recorded in real-time whilst the sound environment istransformed by the performer’s emotional states through the measurement of herskin’s moisture              www.claudearobles.de

Laura Ortman (WhiteMountain Apache, New York City) Wednesday 12
Fromthe rosined-out beast of Ortman’s tough stained violin emerges derangedcrumpled wings twirling in starlight and oil slickness and shininess; bearingheavy use of amplification and effects, she also incorporates over-rosining toadd smoke, dust, wind and slow-motion grittiness in her scored / improvisedcompositions for amplified violin, Apache violin, whistles, tree branches,slides, guitar picks, bells and tuning fork; with live video projectionsby Katherine Liberovskaya       https://thedustdiveflash.bandcamp.com 
BenRichter (Los Angeles)      Thursday 13
Isa composer, accordionist, and director of New York’s Ghost Ensemble, whosemusic explores the perceptual experience of music through subtly shiftingtimbres, distant pulses, and sliding microtonal fluctuations that createsound-worlds of constant transformation; Panthalassa:Dream Music of the Once and Future Ocean combines recorded and liveprepared accordion to conjure the voice of the primordial Earth-wide ocean, amesmerizing dreamscape of shimmering just-intonation harmonies and sliding,moaning melodies that carry the listener deep into an otherworldly abyss

Matt Rogalsky (Canada)  Friday 14

LeslieRoss  (Maine)  Monday 17
In tide wave, a quadraphonic videoinstallation, each change from mud flats to high tide and back is transformedinto corresponding and overlapping sound waves; this preset will open an eveningof new pieces for multi-mic'ed bassoon, quadraphonic speakers and otherperipherals; the crossover terrain of timbre and pitch, the inherent dissonancebetween harmonics of any two consonances, and the tensions between lunar andsolar cycles all play a part in the performance, the whole interspersed withminiature acoustic improvisations

TimShaw and John Bowers (UK)  Tuesday 18
Since2015, they have beendeveloping a creative practice they have come to call ‘mythogeosonics’;Mythogeosonics works with an extended conception of field recording toincorporate such diverse practices as geophysical data sonification andparanormal investigation; think of all the fields: radio, magnetic, electric,esoteric; we cross between on-site investigation, installation-making,soundwalks, and an improvisatory performance practice combining soundscapes,documentary recordings, film, text, and process material using modularsynthesizers, resonant found objects, DIY software and self-made instruments;think of all the ways that the mythogeosonic can be heard, witnessed,appreciated and transformed; this performance will serve as an Annual Reviewdrawing on our collective archive from 2018 as well as local investigationscarried out in New York City

GerardLebik (Poland)  Wednesday 19
"Airon Air" (2018) is a spatial composition that uses the propagation of apure sine wave as the main principle in creating a spatial acousticenvironment; placing hanging, rotating sound objects that generate white noisecreated by the compressed, expanding air gives it an ambisonic character; spatialcomposition modeled due to the specific acoustics of the place in which it ispresented      http://gerardlebik.net/     http://festiwal.sanatoriumdzwieku.pl/en/
