this friday there will be 4 live acts at K77.....

al:arm! (Italy)
Artists' collective formed with the meeting of Marco Bernacchia (M.A.Z.C.A.) with Paolo Campagnola (arbdesastr, matäng). They come from different experiences and different cities. Marco comes from Senigallia (An) and studied arts, Paolo comes from Verona and chose musical and technical studies. It can be deduced that the collective's sinergy has the shape of a serial killer, precise and unpredictable. In spite of the different approaches, they come to the same conclusion that pushes them towards a common creative sense: there is no limit between the different artistic subjects because all of them are in some way oriented to communication.
Starting from this point, the collective begins its activities composing electronic music directly by e-mail, choosing to use this media trying to break the rules imposed by the time/space compression generated by the "nowhere", that is the net.


Demolecularisation (France+Belgium)
jérôme(Paris) and jeanfrançois Blanquet(Brussels) convey their experiences into a noisy and abstract live art project liberated from conventional audivisual constraints: DEMOLECULARISATION. It explores the live action, questionning the possibilities of an audiovisual syntax. The devising sources are not pre-recorded, everything is entirely created in live. Larsen and feedback effects through self-modified devices are at the heart of the devising process. The duet plays with the technical constraints of the machines up to the point where their normal uses are challenged. Jérôme, Jean-François Blanquet and the machines make one body towards a lively, spontaneous and unstable composition.


Carn De Porc
new project from Olivier Di Placido (France/Berlin) + Ruben Patino (Spain/Berlin)

olivier di placido(table top guitar) + ruben patino (laptop) ,present their new collaboration project where analog and acoustic sound techniques meet digital sound processing .
this project is called carn de porc and it goes in another direction than brutal harsh noise that makes neighbours complain and breaks the speakers.
it is neither cheesy ambient nor soft drone you better might expect something noisy and dirty but plenty of details and textures. feedbacks, modulated frequencies, contact microphones, digital textures and buzzes are part of their unstable sound that reacts with the room.



and squeezing in at the last minute is
peublo (Chile) with "salvaje act"

The speed in which economy accelerates is forcing flexible workers to
perform to the limit, taking whatever conditions, exploiting themselves and others, and being always afraid of instability.

Friday. 25.01.08

Hassan Khan (Egypt)
will be performing "incidence" (60 minutes exactly)
For tonight's evening Khan will present a seamless continuous mixture of older and newer music pieces including: lust, figure and ground, KOMPRESSOR (music based on translating sets of dreams), lamptone, G.R.A.H.A.M., beautiful music and host. The Pieces are accompanied by different video sequences specially shot by the artist (a monochorome Red that slowly shifts color, vertiginous dream-like tracking/crane shots of solitary public lamps at night, a portrait of a photographer, a Lynchian moment where a desk lamp is transformed into something else etc..).?

Khan uses a battery of Feedbacking mixers, filters and processors, laptop manipulation, virtual synthesizer and live mikes in tandem to pre-composed and recorded string sections/tabla beats/ney trills/piano compositions in carefully arranged sequences that mix live improvisation with studio arrangements (this is not fusion / this is not beat with effects on top of it- these are worked out unfolding compositions that work with sound and music..)


Tron Lennon (UK)
As a guitarist and DJ we have spent several years extending our practice through free improvisation and experimentation. Paul’s turntable-centric practice deals exclusively with pre-existing musics, whereby raw, unmediated material coexists alongside more direct causal gestures. This could easily be configured as an attempt to put agency back into that which we have lost through acousmatic listening and recording; an attempt to make recorded music live again. For John, the guitar is one element within a multi-faceted setup which includes assorted pedals, circuit-bent keyboards and other electronic instruments. These instruments foster unpredictability but maintain high levels of tactility, and in offering moments of resistance to direct causal action can embrace both intentional and unintentional activity. Working beyond a paradigm where musicians perform pre-composed works, Tron Lennon celebrate spontaneity and the ephemeral nature of sound. In exploring indeterminate and dysfunctional systems alongside more direct causal gestures, they embrace unpredictability as a strategy to probe, provoke and generate creative response.

In their current live set Paul uses Ms Pinky VJ software to manipulate digital video whilst John uses Max/Jitter and live camera feeds, allowing performance gesture to intervene in pre-recorded and synthetically generated visual materials.


Tetsuya Hori (Japan/Berlin)
My pieces do not have a concept. That is the concept. The concept develops in the head of the listener. I get the feedback, and the feedback influences my music and like I see it.
I compose not only for instruments, but for things. The sound of the things is interesting. Not only the natural sound, but also the processed sound. The sources of sound are not necessarily special, but the sound, which results from the arrangement.
Each piece is different. Every time. It is affected by the atmosphere, which is created the area and the public. The piece mostly consists of article + computer program + space + public.
I want to show the listener nonsense. Interesting nonsense.

For tonights concert Tetsuya will plays 2 pieces totalling 40minutes. One piece he will play sitting down on a chair and the other piece standing up.

====>> Core of the Coalman (Oakland/Prague)
Jorge Boehringer is an electro-acoustic musician, composer, sound designer, and installation artist from the United States. As one of his alter-egos Core of the Coalman, Jorge performs solo on a variety of electrical and acoustic media in live performance. These pieces address a variety of conceptual and artistic intents and interests and result in the creation of novel sonic architectures.


====>> Koroshiya (Los Angeles/Berlin)
koroshiya creates soundscapes using an array of digital and analog insturments, a soundtrack to the consumerist wasteland of today. occational collaberations with musicians, filmmakers and artists. koroshiya is like an early italian explotation film, making a picture of our world without hiding anything.


====>> f? (Brazil)
Blood's the way that electricity shakes the rest of umbilical cords that stretch through our throats... There's no stage when trying to entrain a praise module, the moon is the ass of the sun and the teeth of the earth... When free from words, do voices tend to divinity? It's pain the whisper of never grasping goodness. How could ever a throat be good if not being
but a formless flowing passage of desires?
