Wavefront-Modular Synthesizer Compositions &Live Performances I

Experimental Electronic Music, Ambient, Techno, Noise, Synthesizer Music.

JANUARY 26th and 28th
Wavefront combines various approaches across musical genres, ranging from industrial soundscapes and otherworldly atmospheres to distorted and thriving beats of playful as well as harsh dance music.

Dystopian and raw noises negotiate the sonic space with melodic and meditativesoundscapes, while field recordings and external instruments connect us to everydaylistening experiences.

Conceptual approaches push the limits beyond human listening.Wavefronttunes our ears beyond everyday sounds to other worlds of frequencies, offeringa broad palette of aesthetics.

With the final public event of the course Introduction to Modular Synthesis and Circuitry Building at Berlin School of Sound we dive into a sea built by electronic waves of the various electronic ecosystems of the performers. Connecting fields of electronic music and sound art, in this course participants investigate and further developed their electronic performance set-ups and sound aesthetics as composers.

Sonic Borderlines Listening Series

(sponsored by Initiative Neue Musik) How Do the Smallest Units of Sound Relate…? In the case of music from differing cultures, approaches and disciplines playing together, how can musicians use underlying metaphors to bring fundamental differences of technique and sound into meaningful aesthetic relationships with one another? Furthermore, what technical studies and (if applicable) new notational approaches for melody, rhythm, timbre, and interaction derived from these metaphors can best facilitate this goal?
