Alphawave #10 brings together two artists that bend reality to their own inner perception, through sounds and visions. Can you see the same that they are showing you? What is your reality? On stage Berlin-based American sound artist Jim Campbell, aka the preterite and Italian scientist and sound artist DuChamp.

Jim Campbell (aka the preterite) is a turntapelist, for lack of a better term. Inspired by proponents of experimental work with vinyl and early tape, Cagean chance practices and both cosmic and free sounds, the Berlin-based American artist built a one-of-a-kind instrument out of relics of the tape age, his “cassette scratch orchestra”, composed of cast-off phrase trainers, original effects, a re-purposed and prepared analog cassette multitracker and piles of found and mostly self-dubbed tapes of his own creation. Campbell works in a variety of contexts, most notably solo as “the preterite”, improvising freely, scratching abstract-emotive tone poems on the fly. He is also engaged in intuitive approaches to live sampling and processing of acoustic instruments and experiments with augmented reality that involve ad-hoc temporary installations in uncommon settings and on-site embedded field recording. In addition, Campbell is also a member of the duo Tape Measure Kid and the large improvising collective The Dorf with releases on Denovali and Leo Records among other labels. He has performed with a vast number of artists approaching improvisation from wildly diverse angles, including Caspar Brötzmann, Elephant Power, Claus Van Bebber and traditional Hsain Wain ensemble players from Myanamar. He has also toured Eastern Europe (with Hartware Medienkunstverein) and Southeast Asia (with the Goethe Institut).

DuChamp is an Italian scientist, sound artist and curator based in Berlin, religiously devoted to drone. Drone is related to a precise childhood memory: the sound of the hair dryer, that her mother used to fix her hair. That was the sound of care, bliss, and infinite love. DuChamp released her works on Boring Machines (“NAR”, 2013), Idiosyncratics (“sculpture”, 2014 split withFrench sound artist Felicia Atkinson) and Full Body Massage records (“Nectere” 2015). DuChamp is also part of Fausto Maijstral, Roman Catholics, Xantene, Instant Voodoo, Brabrabra.
