On very short notice, we were able to implement a whole new program by Ljubljana's SONICA festival into the ICAS SUITE. This experimental night at West Germany on September 8 showcases transitory artists, based in Berlin and Ljubljana, that combine sound with lasers, microwaves and various other types of media. The night is also a preview, announcing the upcoming SONICA Festival, that takes place in Ljubljana from 11-15 October 2011.
Performances include the av-project Climax by SONICA's curator Martin Bricelj Baraga and Slovenian top electronic artist Octex. A solo concert by Jasmine Guffond from Minit / Organ Eye, "Synthoscope" by Servando Barreiro, translates non-perceivable electromagnetic waves into sound, and the audiovisual performance "Thermal" by Mario de Vega in which several objects are modified with a microwave oven using custom hardware to sonify the high frequency spectrum produced by overheating the device. The second part of the night consists of live and DJ-sets by Octex, Errorist, Comfort Fit and DJ Storno.
On top, swedish Techno artist Johanna Knutsson (Klasse Recordings) joined the Full Pull program on 9.9. at Monarch, rounding out the night with dancing pleasures.
Berölin experimentalist Nicholas Bussmann joined DJ Moodswinger to celebrate the special Dis-Patch festival R.I.P. party also on Friday 9.9. at Paloma. |
