Part of History (Latin American Electroacoustic Music)

Ricardo Dal Farra / Argentina - Canada

This is a concert (or an installation) focusing on recovering and make known part of the history of electroacoustic music from Latin American. The political and economic instability in many Latin American countries have been deeply affecting the life of its inhabitants for decades. Support for artistic activities has usually been postponed to solve urgent social problems. In spite of that, the development in the region of the electronic arts in general and the electroacoustic music in particular, is really astounding.

Zwolftonform

Andreas Lutz / Germany

Following the formal rules of dodecaphony, for Zwölftonform twelve consecutive titles are composed exclusively with twelve consecutive frequencies. The basic structure for each title is made up to twelve different sound samples from a generated sine waveform. Built on this basis, these arrangements reference and illustrate especially over time the complexity and increasing compression of the original shape. Following the serial character of the composition concept, the titles were published consecutively as EPs.

Bodyscape

Luca Forcucci / Switzerland
with support from The Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia

The project is a site-specific electroacoustic composition. The performance space and its architectural resonating and spatial characteristics are included. The main idea focuses on the body of a dancer as the main sonic source. The sound recordings of two performances in San Francisco and Switzerland were then composed at NOTAM in Oslo Norway, leading to a piece intended to be played in the dark and thus magnifying the sonic memories of the audience. The project includes fifteen days' field recordings at the border of Botswana, Limpopo Region, South Africa with a biologist and composer (Francisco Lopez). I conducted the research further as an expedition in other regions of South Africa on the basis of a text of the Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt (The Viral Epidemic).

Metatopia 4.0 - Algoricene

Jaime Del Val / Spain

METATOPIA is a nomadic, interactive & performative environment for outdoors & indoors spaces that merges dynamic physical & digital architectures, with 3D and multisensory immersion, focusing on indeterminacy, unpredictability and open-ended relation to bodies and surrounding environment, an indeterminate space of emergent behaviors and movements that defies prediction and control in the Big Data Era.
