Antje Vowinckel, organ and objects

Antje Vowinckel is a Berlin-based composer, director and performer. She produced sound art compositions and radio plays for which she was awarded several times and also presents musical solo performances.


„Organ and objects“


An impro-composition with warm and mechanical sounds and some melodic reminiscences played on an old Korg-Organ combined with slit-drum and vibrating objects in a speaker.
I got this organ from the guitar player in the band, where I played keyboards, when I was in my twenties. But the band broke up and I didn’t play for years, until I started with my sound compositions and tried out to play it in another way. I use it more as a sound source now and play melodies only as a reminiscence of old times. Something that you can hear when you open your window, and always comes with the sound of the construction in your neighbourhood.

PIVOT

Chris Heenan, alto sax + contrabassclarinet
Liz Allbee, trumpet

PIVOT is Liz Allbee and Chris Heenan.
PIVOT is a language of spontaneous repetitions that brush up against an autistic world.
PIVOT is a contrabass clarinet and a trumpet hashing out a bad marriage.
PIVOT is a strategy of recursive cycles and quick fixes.
PIVOT is an acoustic duo of discrete players creating a unitized system.
PIVOT is a three-legged horse in a two-legged race.

Concert #11

ACHTUNG, ACHTUNG: Konzert wird auf den 22.5. verlegt!!!!

Sonntag den 15. Mai 2011, 20:30 Uhr @ Valentin Stüberl, Donaustr. 112, 12043 Berlin-Neukölln

curated by Wendelin Büchler:

Ezramo, voice + prepared zither + field recordings
Penelopex, electronics + field recordings

The young promising italian female sound artists Ezramo and Penelopex are certainly about to setting landmarks in experimental music.
Ezramo’s research is focused upon the hidden archaic memory in music and upon the writing in its multiple forms.
Her main instrument is the voice, that she usually combines in a radical way with acoustic instruments and field recordings.
Raising from Bologna underground noise scene, Penelopex searches and finds her sounds in nature and city life,
transformed through custom filters and modulators into broken melodies, noise and musique concrète.
Lyrical vocals and manipulated acoustic sounds by Ezramo, transcending into Penelopex’ field recordings and drones…
appearing and disappearing. Just like a ghost.

Greta Christensen, modified turntables + electronics
Camilla Sorensen, modified turntables + electronics
with their project - Vinyl Terror & Horror

Camilla Sørensen and Greta Christensen met at The Royal Art Academy in Copenhagen in 2001 and have been working together since with sound as a starting point for a continuous and complex sculptural practice which includes: cars, tent constructions, campers and a huge variety of record players and sound equipment.
In the concert situation, a partly improvised narrative of sounds is performed using exclusively modified turntables and vinyl records. Cut up and mistreated records looping and creaking from dust and sloppy treatment. Pick-ups being pushed disrespectfully over grooves.
