Together with a class from "BRGORG15 Henriettenplatz", "Little Rosies Kindergarten" will create an acoustic portrait of the school and the people who work there, making their everyday lives resound. By making recordings of their surroundings (e.g. the corridor in the school, the squeaky classroom door, conversations on the way to the gym, etc.), the pupils will come into indirect contact with their sonic environment.

"... is a composer and violinist focusing on elements of tone within the interstices of fields, asymmetries, and patterns. His performance and practice is informed by research into dimensions of vibrating bodies. He will be performing solo violin in the mode of his recent album Violin Liquid Phases, which focuses on the psychoacoustic possibilities of the violin- harmonic tuning, rhythmic phasing, spectral bowing; as well as perceptual structures and landscapes of energy."

Vienna-based experimental Jazz/Rock/Electronic Trio /kry [ @kry.trio ] presents the music video for their piece „Sārbaz“ in cooperation with Canada-based, Iranian Video-, and Animation-Artist Ghazal Majidi [ @ghazalmajidi.studio ].
Directly inspired by the global fight for equality and freedom, the composition and video aim to equally express desperation, fear and anger as well as resistance and endurance, but most of all: hope.

Improvisation, abstract sound pictures in real time

I gots a spinny wheel on the ipad. Someone in the audience spins the wheel. It lands on a story. I tell the story and improvise a little something music-y before the story. Cool? Brian
