friday 27th in ACUD (not K77)

Antoine Chessex (Switzerland)
Antoine Chessex is a swiss saxophone player, improviser, composer and experimental musician. His works are based on the exploration of the physicality of sounds and spaces.
Nowadays Chessex plays mostly as a solo performer appearing either in fully acoustic settings where his circular breathing drones react with the sonic architecture of the space he is performing in or amplifying his horn with amps or PA systems and electronic devices often resulting in intense live actions. His solo performances are experiences in total immersion in sound.


Preslav Literary School (UK)
The unique sound can be attributed to both the sourcing of raw sound materials and the method of composition. Recording sonic experiments, spoken word, birdsong and drones onto cassette tapes and dictaphones, Adam then mixes these sources live with other found sound (including material from lofts, abandoned buildings and the sides of roads) to create layered soundscapes which recontextualise the original material into new improvised compositions of remarkable depth and quality. Within any performance one can expect to hear anything from jazz elegies, childhood radio stations, chattering starlings, traffic noise and beat poetry to mental arithmetic learning tapes, Holst, aboriginal gabba, Buddy Holly and musique concrète.


Demolecularisation (France)
jérôme and jeanfrançois Blanquet convey their experiences into a noisy and abstract live art project liberated from conventional audivisual constraints.
DEMOLECULARISATION finds its sources from the Free improvisation genre. It explores the live action, questionning the possibilities of an audiovisual syntax. The duo plays with the technical constraints of the machines up to the point where their normal uses are challenged. jérôme, jeanfrançois Blanquet and the machines make one body towards a lively, spontaneous and unstable composition.
*** Be a hero! is a work based on spam universe. spam cut-up microphone text recording voice recognition repetition stacking cuts loss information jamming noise word as raw material picture

sound meaning in revolution.

JD ZAZIE (Italy)
Valeria Merlini: Äpfelzerstörer
Listen to the unexpected sound-atmospheres made with turntables and cd player!
Recognisable sounds will be transformed, using the "Äpfelzerstörer-method", into a new aural experience. In the process of abstraction and decontextualisation an intimate communication with the audience will be created.

Caretakers - Richard Scott and James Edmonds (England/Berlin)
Music of memory and forgetting made with lost and found sounds. Richard Scott and James Edmonds are two Englishman in Berlin excavating layers of music and memory from the city’s crumbling graffiti laden brickwork as the omnipresent spectre of regeneration threatens to paint over all history once and for all. Their complex, hands-on music goes against the city’s prevailing tide of minimalism and noise - admitting emotion, memory, nostalgia and melancholy into its fading, browning ambient textures. Composed in real time, this is music that attempts to stay in one place and can do so only by admitting constant change.

DISMS - Dream Icon Sky Modulor Space (Italy)
Sound: Antonio Della Marina
Visual ambiance: Alessandra Zucchi

A moment of absolute psychophysical drift. An immersion in a colourful sonic ambience that recalls twentieth-century artists’s works particularly focused on the relationship between human body and architectural space (Dan Flavin, Le Corbusier, Anish Kapoor, Maurice Agis, Verner Panton, Marian Zazeela, James Turrell to list just a few of them). Thanks to digital techniques their works are moved from the original place, rehandled, manipulated and offered to the audience in the shape of light and sound furnishing. A different dimension that combines contemplative fruition of ambiences with seventies style visionariness.

Markus Wettstein and Yurie Ido (Berlin)
The kind of art that hypnotises me is ideally vital and acoustic, volatile and abrupt. We want to present the human's movement that produce it. We like the feeling that it's only audible in the room where it is being made, and only last as long as it lasts. We invent rituals from a parallel ancient Japan.
Yurie Ido is a multimedia artist. born in Japan, works in Berlin.
Markus Wettstein is a composer. born in Switzerland, works in Berlin.


---------------Unfortunately Tom Bugs had to cancel.

Ben Owen (New York)
ben's current work include sound and light installation, weekly internet radio, experimental composition, improvised performance, and score based performance. his sound works grew out of stone litho printmaking where process and destabilization held significance as parallel to itself. engaging indoor and outdoor space's with sound and light were informed from cycles of inking and surface reception, spacial sound fluctuated between existing sound fields, intervened environments, and disregarded ambiances. through the practice of installation and transmission, time becomes transparent and location transient, active, and physical. His instruments include contact and microphones, radio, tone-arm, lloopp, mixer, harmonica, inside piano, mini disc, acoustic guitar, harmonium, oscillator's, and various objects.


Gilles Aubry (Switzerland)
Swiss sound artist & computer musician based in Berlin since 2002, Gilles Aubry uses field recordings, computer programming, surround sound, hacked electronics and improvisation to create live performances, sound installations and CD works.
In his work Gilles Aubry has been experimenting on auditory perception, space representation, site specificity, room acoustics, streams of information and interactivity. He has been involved in numerous collaborations with international artists throughout Europe, USA, Russia and Asia since 1995.

Craig Hilton (North Carolina)
has been composing sound via elecroacoustic transformation and live improvisation for over 13 years. Trained originally as a classical guitarist, the sonic possibilities of "musique concrete" and other methods of sound manipulation/composition, led him to further study the primary idea of sound itself.
For this night in Salon Bruit Craig will be playing guzheng and live electronics.






PenelopeX (Italy/Berlin)
Marta Zapparoli aka Penelopex; born in the underground scene of Bologna. Her natural and cultivated sense of rhythm, her technical experience and her vivid curiosity led her in a direction of new digital experiences. From October 2006 she lives and plays in Berlin. “Ambient and Human emotions in broken melodies and noise is the place that I find. Using field recordings taken from the nature and the city life. The noise coming from the external world, comes leaked and translates in poetry vision creating oneiric sonorous landscapes.” The borders of the acoustic and the audible can be expanded beyond the threshold of perception.


Promute (North Carolina)
After playing in several different bands of varying degrees of success and styles, I chose to turn on the tape recorder and let out whatever I could pass thru the speakers. Promute started as a blank canvas in 2000 and thus far I have held onto the master tapes, not letting anyone into the chaos that is my brain. I have recently relocated to a quieter place and have decided to share my project with others. Look out for the RAST FIGMENT Ep next month, as well as the PROMUTE official website. RAST FIGMENT contains 5 songs and is over 60 minutes in length. It is an homage to the destructive beauty of nature and noise.
