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.
