Gentle Breeze by Benjamin
TomasiWith the project
Gentle Breeze, Benjamin Tomasi deals with the sonic qualities of
weather
phenomena and their acoustic simulation. Kinetic sculptures form the starting
point for an acoustic meditation on a fictitious
course of the weather. The sounds of weather phenomena are not taken from the ‘real’ world but are acoustically recreated.
Thisynthesized sound, however, is triggered by real objects that are driven by the respective natural phenomena. The perfect
mimetic quality of the sounds plays a minor role. The focus is rather on the interplay between the synthetic and natural-sounding
parts of the sound material.
Music for Androids and Sheeps by Isabella ForcinitiMusic
for Androids and Sheeps is inspired by Anna Tsing’s and Donna J. Haraway’s concept of
Plantationocene and by
the dystopias highlighted in Philipp K. Dick’s novel
Do Androids dream of electric Sheep.
Isabella Forciniti
is a Vienna based sound artist from Italy. Her work maneuvers within tensions, evoked by the substantial aspects of sound
and improvised music. Her intention is to explore deliberate states of sounds through examining relationships among interwoven
sound surroundings, informal practice as well as their intrinsic abilities. Her work thrives to release streams of thoughts
at the margins of the unknown.
