Performance night with: 

  • Michael Tuttle - ww10
    Live 8 channel musique concrète piece combining synthetic and natural elements in the space 

  • Feedback Laboratory (jayemsonic & PGYS) - guṇa गुण
    Evolving sound and visual patterns out of the chaos of feedback systems. Our acoustical and visual machines are speaking in echo to themselves and while doing this explaining basic principles of the mathematics behind ever growing and changing nature in manifold unforeseeable patterns.

Michael Tuttle is a sound artist whose work can be characterised by experiments which examine the relationships between sonic events (sound/ noise) and traditional formal structures. A primary intention is for his work to question notions of the hierarchy of power dynamics and perception. As a performer Michael draws from developments of musique concrète, reevaluating its discursive methods and semiotic process. His multi-channel laptop performances digest pre-recorded sound material forcing it into a deconstructed/ reconstructed dialectic. Examining Schaeffer’s concept of reduced listening and re- posing it in relation to sound and physical spaces. 

jayemsonic (Jürgen Michaelis) works since 1989 as a professional tech and developer of own systems in the audio and electronics branch. Besides that, J. Michaelis devoted himself to experimental sound producers and has developed an own sound synthesis, the Resonant Neuron Synthesis. The experimental sonic art pieces are run under the label Jayemsonic. Up to the present, he brought out numerous sounding products under Jomox and Jayemsonic, which delight a great number of users and fans worldwide.

PGYS (Peggy Sylopp) After a photo-technical education she first dedicated herself to various kinds of performing arts: theatre, pantomime, dance. She worked furthermore on photography, Super 8 film and video predominantly in environments for stages and live acts performances and behind the camera at live recordings in television. With the study of computer science since 1999 the computer generated technologies became her major means of expression. In her live acts and installations she works with real time generated graphics, live video input and motion tracking by using visual programming languages. In addition she integrates self-made video recordings with abstract 3d-animation of amorphous surfaces and objects. Her works balance between unpredictability and precise control of visual elements, which are produced by diverse analogical and digital techniques. The 'art-VJing performances' (live visual art) are shaped by dynamic action and follow predominantly minimal and abstract art in painting and photography. Each work is based on predefined rules, but the exact progress is deliberately not determined beforehand and unpredictable, the impossibility to reproduce indicates the live character of the performances and the interactive dynamics of the installations.
