Sound art performance night with:
- Duo Brand-Rupp (Ulrike Brand & Olaf Rupp)
Despite belonging to very different fields, this duo creates a unique consonance. The result is a stylistic freedom in an associative "play" with similarity and role exchange, reprise and anticipation. The duo-constellation is potentiating these effects when the continuing input of sounds from one player becomes part of the overall sound and at the same time acts upon the other player creating a reciprocal flow of communication. - SCORES (Tomomi Adachi & Ulrike Brand)
„Cartesianists!“ is a work in progress which considers different kinds of intending SCORES: writing, notating, speaking, mitating gestures, video score, tecnologically generated live score - acting/non interacting, connecting/disconnecting, touching/not touching. The project is a conceptualization of relationships between composer and performer: an experimental set-up in which the results of the common research are coming together in a quite variable performance.
Ulrike Brand's focus is on multimedial projects between conceptual sound-exploring, improvisation and performance. In this context she is mainly working with Olaf Rupp, Tomomi Adachi as well as visual artists and choreographers. Because of her experience in performing contemporary classical compositions in the past decades, she can draw upon all the varieties of different extended playing techniques that are used there. She uses sounds and noises as equivalent material, pitch is treated as a continuum and the whole body of the instrument can create sounds. This is also accentuating the gestural element of the performance.
Olaf Rupp explores the field of free improvisation with an uncompromising radicallity. The extreme virtuosic playing techniques which he has developed by himself are the result of a unique artistic discipline far away from the usual standards and conventions. He is always expanding his sonic range evermore: in his subtle, pointillistic soundworld every single note appears as a colour-dot inside of a larger matrix.
Tomomi Adachi is a performer / composer, sound poet, installation artist and occasional theater director. Performing with voice, live electronics, he has performed works by Cage, Cardew, Wolff, Yuji Takahashi, with Nicolas Collins, Jerome Noetinger, Annette Krebs, Jennifer Walshe, Jon Rose, Butch Morris, Otomo Yoshihide, and at the Tate Modern, IRCAM/Centre Pompidou, Haus der Berliner Festspiele, Roulette, Tonic, ZKM, STEIM, Experimental Intermedia and Merkin Hall. In 2009-10, he was a fellow of the Asian Cultural Council in New York, and most recently, in 2012 was a guest of the DAAD Berliner Künstler program.
