Concertperformance Do. 13.06.24 in VIERTE WELT, Berlin

Codes of Absence takes us with musician Nico Yurgaki* to trace, throughout musical improvisations, his experiences of loneliness during the migration from Colombia into the EU, and how it affected his relationship with his mother Bertha Quintero. Quintero is a conga player and one of the founders of the first female salsa orchestra in Colombia, Caña Brava.

In a live video call, Yurgaki will be on stage at the Vierte Welt and Quintero in Bogotà. Together they will take us on a journey along the concept of the five claves (rhythmic codes) of Colombian-Pacific and Caribbean music. These five codes are rhythmic patterns that appear in many Colombian musical pieces. As the result of the centuries-long interweaving of different musical cultures in the Latin- Afro-American, and Caribbean regions, they will use them to guide us through intimate conversations discussing themes such as motherhood, rebellion against the patriarchy, masculinity, love – and the feeling of the absence of the loved ones in a seemingly globally connected world. Hence it turns these patterns into a symbol for the transition of identity- and its transgression.

*Nico Yurgaki is the stage name of Nicolas Cristancho, masterstudent sound art - composition in Mainz.

Juan Bermudez in Kassel – 15. – 29. Juni 2024

Exhibition:

Charivari: Tan Bone / Juan Bermudez / Zaki Al-Maboren

Galerie des Konzept e.V.
Tischbeinstraße 2
34121 Kassel

Opening on 15 June at 8 pm
Duration 15-29 June, 2024

Opening hours: Saturday and Sunday 12:00-18:00, as well as by appointment

With works by Juan David Bermúdez, Tan Bone and Zaki Al-Maboren.

Charivari, cat music, cacerolazo, pots-and-pans protest, rough music, shalwari banging... all these terms describe similar rituals in which noise is made in public as a gesture of protest and disapproval. Until the 19th century, these rituals were still primarily linked to moral concepts, but became increasingly politicised. Since the 20th century, acoustic protest has been used as an explicitly political form of expression all over the world, including in France, Canada, Sudan, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria, Chile, Colombia and Iceland. The banging and banging of pots and pans thus possesses the qualities of a decentralised, non-violent language of protest that is almost universally understandable. The group exhibition Charivari presents three individual artistic explorations of the theme. The exploration takes place via video, sound and objects. Colombian-born artist Juan David Bermúdez, for example, uses interactive sound installations to realise his experiences of the cacerolazo in his home country.
In contrast, there are films by Zaki Al-Maboren that document the acoustic protest in Sudan from 2019, which appear in a completely new light in light of current developments there. It is a similar story with Tan Bones, whose work "Sound Pot" combines objects from the protest movement in Myanmar in 2021 with an interactive smartphone app.
However, Charivari does not simply present political activism, but also questions the extent to which acoustic protest is the starting point for an aesthetic experience. The works do not directly accuse anyone, but invite viewers to question their own role and the boundary between creative protest and violence. The tumult of the Charivari thus reveals both hope and despair.

As Europe's largest meet-up of university studios for electronic music, »next_generation« offers up-and-coming composers a platform to present their new musical developments. This year, the festival initiated and conceived by Ludger Brümmer is celebrating its 10th edition.

Over four days, »next_generation« offers an exciting and dense program with the latest positions from the fields of »fixed media«, »spatial music« and »live electronics«. The festival thus guarantees a representative overview of the current creative work of the next generation of composers in the context of technology and art.

This year, students from 27 electronic university studios from Germany, Austria, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland are taking part. All participants will have the opportunity to present their work in concerts and installations at various locations in the ZKM or to exchange ideas about their own areas of interest in lectures and discussions. In addition, professors and lecturers will report on current developments in the individual studios and departments.

Wingel Mendoza was awarded with one of the PAiR Spring artistic residences

The PAiR residency is a space for inventive encounters, where artists, researchers and curators can develop their projects in a stimulating, distraction-free environment of interdisciplinary dialogue.

A point of intersection between humans and nature, the local and the global, cutting-edge practices and age-old traditions, PAiR is a place where new meanings emerge via creative experiments and interdisciplinary knowledge-sharing.
Wingel Mendoza, the Mainz sound art alumni, has been accepted into a very international PAiR residency programme.
Congratulations!

BIO
Taegyu Lim majored in Music Technology and Computer Science in University. He also making and releasing music after graduation.
Lim worked as a composer, mix engineer. In 2020, he released his own album. In 2022, he also published a thesis on the impact of short-form videos on humans. Taegyu Lim’s art and research typically explores the interplay between nature, space, and their relationships between humans. And primarily grounded in ecological(especially sound ecological) and philosophical perspectives, although at times, it also incorporates scientific elements.
And the result manifests itself in converging compositions, artistic installations, performances or media artworks.

This research goes beyond simply dealing with sound; it will serve as a substantial foundation for transitioning from being a musician to engaging in the broader realm of artistic endeavors, building a complex artistic experience and career.

https://www.kulturbaeckerei-mainz.de/aktuelles/

Vernissage with live music: 26 April 24 | 17:00
NOISESTADT sees itself as a forum for sound art. As part of the Sound Art Days, installations by students and alumni of the Sound Art Composition class at the Mainz University of Music will be presented over two weekends at the end of April/beginning of May at the KULTURBÄCKEREI in Mainz Neustadt. Stefan Fricke will also be there. Sounding artistic objects and media installations have been created that react to the various locations and transform them into special spaces of experience: a Noisestadt in the Neustadt.

Live sounds will also be played at the vernissage on 26 April:

Eröffnung der Klangkunst Ausstellung Noisestadt

Freitag, 26.4. | 17:00 Uhr | Kulturbäckerei (Mainzer Neustadt)

Klangkunstausstellung Noisestadt – Eröffnung

gegen 19:00 werden zur Vernissage am 26.4. auch Live-Klänge/Konzerte einiger Künstler:innen zu hören sein.

Auf Einladung des „Soziokulturellen Zentrum Kulturbäckerei“ präsentieren Studierende und Alumni der Klasse Klangkunst-Komposition von Prof. Peter Kiefer neue Arbeiten, die eigens für die Räume am Karoline-Stern-Platz entwickelt wurden. Im Umfeld der alten und im Umbau befindlichen Kommissbrotbäckerei in der Mainzer Neustadt ist ein Neubauviertel rund um den Quartiersplatz entstanden. Die teilweise noch im Ausbau befindlichen Gewerberäume werden für die Tage der Ausstellung in spannende Kunsträume verwandelt. Es sind klingende künstlerische Objekte und mediale Installationen entstanden, die auf den rudimentären Charme des Ortes reagieren und diesen zu speziellen Erfahrungsräumen verwandeln: eine Noisestadt in der Neustadt.

mit Arbeiten von Juan Bermúdez, Danbi Jeung, Wingel Mendoza, Kyung Seo Min, Leon Joshua Senger und Stefan g. Fricke (a.G.)

Die Ausstellung ist geöffnet

am 26.–28. April und

Leon Senger Klangkunstausstellung im art.ist Wiesbaden

UnTod: Leise sprechen die LautSprecher - Klangkunst


08. März 2024 | 15 – 21 Uhr
09. März 2024 | 11 – 19 Uhr
10. März 2024 | 11 – 17 Uhr

Für ein Wochenende wird der Konzertraum des art.ist mit einer Klanginstallation aus vielfältigen skulpturalen Elementen gefüllt. Im Zerfall begriffene alte Lautsprecher entfalten dabei ihr kreatives Potenzial. Statt der getreuen Wiedergabe von komponiertem Klangmaterial, rückt ihre eigene Materialität in den Vordergrund. Es entsteht ein die Besuchenden umhüllender Raum aus sensiblen Klängen, der jedoch auch immer wieder von einem lärmenden Sich-Aufbäumen durchschnitten wird.

Diese Ausstellung ist Teil einer Master-Arbeit der Klasse für Klangkunst-Komposition von Prof. Peter Kiefer an der Hochschule für Musik Mainz. Der Einlass ist zu obenstehenden Zeiten durchgehend möglich und es ist keine Reservierung nötig. Es wird voraussichtlich keine Vernissage/Finissage geben, der Künstler wird aber vor Ort sein.

Eintritt frei
