"In the place where we are, still looking for some relation..."

sound performance

“In the place where we are, still looking for some relation that would bind us to each other. Even without words, even without movement, always speaking, always moving and imperceptibly desiring each other without desire.”
Maurice Blanchot: "Awaiting Oblivion"

Taking a point of departure from the idea of synchronous reception and telesthetic homogenization of sonic space under the condition of transmission in real-time, the event will allow listeners to participate in the events regardless of their physical absence. They will become part of the event as much as the immediate actors - the performers and the audience.

Using the voices and sound produced on site in combination with pre-recorded materials to create an environment intriguing both for the broadcast audience that will have access to the whole of the work and the audience present in the space that will not be able to follow the whole performance bit will experience only parts of the mosaic-performance of fragments performed.

We propose to return to Robert Filliou's idea of a network of friends on two levels - within the EBU Art's Birthday broadcast and in a more intimate setting of an event with an audience throughout the performance space.

The performance includes a live, mostly improvised, radio play of words and sounds, layers of music and cracks of silence, laughter and spontaneous noise bursts. Manipulation of found and created sound with contrasting textual and vocal interventions filtered through the distortion of the megaphone, gramophone needle and weak lo-fi speakers, but also digital sound editing in real time.

Participating artists:
