Rather than presenting a fixed composition\, Hoshiko Yamane and Makoto Sakamoto develop musical form through continuous listening\, interaction\, and response. The electric violin functions as part of a live electronic system in which signal processing\, feedback\, resonance\, and spatial projection continuously influence one another. Layers of sound gradually reveal shifting harmonic relationships while moments of density and silence reshape the perception of time and space. Rather than telling a complete narrative\, the performance offers fragments from which listeners may discover their own journeys. Memories\, personal associations\, and imagined stories emerge differently for each individual\, making every experience unique. Each realization responds to the acoustic characteristics of the venue and the conditions of the moment\, creating a sonic architecture that exists only through the interaction between performers\, space\, and audience.\nYamane + Sakamoto/// A duo featuring Hoshiko Yamane\, violinist of Tangerine Dream and classically trained composer\, and Makoto Sakamoto\, who shapes live electronic spaces through sound construction and real-time processing. Within Sakamoto’s layered waves of abstract\, quasi-mechanical tones and dense noise textures\, harmonic structures begin to emerge. Yamane’s razor-sharp precision and distinctly classical expressiveness move through this shifting field—at times merging with it\, at times cutting through it with striking clarity. Their performances are marked by intensity\, control\, and a strong sense of structure.\n \n\n/// Tactile  [A/V performance] cineconcerto by Leonardo Carrano Through a stereoscopic vision\, the film investigates the evolutions of the matter that organically inhabits the 35mm film\, staging a tactile and sensitive perception that\, abandoning the ocular scopic regime\, plunges into an incorporeal experience where unconscious humanity and interstellar universes seem to touch. The music\, composed and performed live by Francesco Massaro\, seeks a non-literal relationship with the image\, while remaining faithful to the director’s creative processes; thus creating a double within a double\, in which the sound also follows the subversion of the natural order of the senses\, seeking itself to be touched.\nFrancesco Massaro/// Sax player\, composer and sound artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of improvisation\, composition\, and sonic research. Working with saxophones\, clarinets and live electronics\, he investigates sound as a material\, embodied\, and perceptual phenomenon\, developing performance environments in which acoustic and electronic processes continuously reshape one another. His work treats the instrument as an unstable and evolving system\, where feedback\, resonance\, friction\, and micro-variation become compositional forces. Situated within a fluid territory spanning experimental music\, avant-jazz\, contemporary composition\, electronic practices\, and ethnic traditions\, his artistic research explores emergent forms\, relational listening\, and the poetics of transformation. His projects frequently extend beyond music\, engaging dialogue with space\, image\, language\, and the body. A student of Gianni Lenoci\, Massaro has received recognition from institutions and critics. He has presented his work throughout Italy and Europe at festivals and venues dedicated to contemporary sound practices\, including AngelicA\, Tempo Reale and Area Sismica.\n \n\n/// Somatic Resonance [multimedia installation] Somatic Resonance investigates the transmutation of biological data into mechanical energy\, exploring the threshold where the organic body merges with digital and sonic infrastructure. Visitors’ heartbeats\, detected by biometric sensors\, are extracted and re-injected into a synthetic structure. Membranes are set into vibration by electroacoustic transducers\, manifesting digital flesh through sub-low frequencies that act directly on matter. A system of translucent communicating vessels acts as an informational circulatory apparatus\, connecting the human body to the machine in a visceral flow of data. The work shifts the focus from the visual representation of flesh to its vibratory persistence\, transforming the exhibition space into a sensitive organism. When multiple users interact simultaneously\, the installation evolves into a collective ecosystem generating interference. In this tension between synchrony and chaos\, Somatic Resonance seeks to redefine sound and technology as a disturbing extension of the human nervous system.\nre_derma /// is a multimedia artistic duo born as a collective in 2024\, active in installation\, performative digital practices\, and audiovisual live-sets. Their research investigates the body in its most intimate and carnal relationship with technology and structures of power\, focusing on the contemporary digital ecosystem: Artificial Intelligence\, biohacking\, and the digitalization of desire and the body. The project takes shape in interactive installations\, experiential spaces\, A/V performances\, and multi-screen scenographies. Within these environments\, technology becomes an extension of the body\, and the subjectivities that move through the works are invited into an active engagement that destructures the logics of control and questions the boundaries between real and virtual\, turning the body into a transducer of impulses. The collective has presented its work in contexts such as LIMINAL SPACE\, Studio Tiepolo 38\, the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome\, Manifatture Knos (Lecce)\, and Parsec (Bologna)\, as well as in Roman venues such as Esc Atelier\, Casa delle Donne di Roma\, Trenta Formiche\, La Redazione di Scomodo\, Forte Prenestino\, Alibi Club\, and Angelo Mai. \n\n\n     \n\n         \n\n© Yamane + Sakamoto\n     \n\n         \n\n© Francesco Massaro

SUMMARY:MA/IN[X] - KORA②
DESCRIPTION:© lorenzo ballerini\n \n🎟 biglietti disponibili solo in loco\n▷ opening / installazione\nh 20.30\n⦿ re_derma [IT] /// Somatic Resonance\nsound installation \n⦿ #acousmatic miXtape\n\nsound installation/listening room\n\n\nHoyong Lee [KR] /// Dashboard: Bit-Crushed\nIsaac Barzso [US] /// Bled in plasticrust\nPanayiotis Kokoras [GR/US] /// AI Phantasy\nWei Yang [CN] /// rain contained\, rain contains…\nIan Whillock [US/DE] /// Residual\nLoup Mormont [BE] /// Nuit Corail\nTheodoros Karkatselas [GR] /// Quarks\nBoyi Bai [CN] /// Take Me Back to Indonesia\nJonty Harrison [GB] /// Kammermusik\nAbril Padilla [AR] /// GRIMJA\n\n\n\n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ Simone Grande [IT] /// Mani Rotte  /// Mani Rotte\nelectric guitar + electronics  \n⦿ Lorenzo Ballerini [IT] /// Void\nsmartphone network performance \n⦿ H7-25 [IT] (Damiano Meacci + Gianluca Catuogno) ///OVERT[o]URISM\nlive electronics \n\n///OVERT[o]URISM [live electronics performance] a single small letter\, squeezed between capitals\, is all it takes to tip an overture into overtourism. The small crushed by the outsized: an island\, a city\, a mind under the many forms of “over” we inhabit — overtourism\, which the duo experiences at first hand between Florence and Capri; the flood of information that promises awareness and delivers distraction; the strain every excess places on the ecosystems — natural\, urban\, mental — that sustain us. On stage\, sound behaves like an ecosystem. Fragile equilibria are enriched by new presences: it is not presence that breaks them\, but excess — proliferations that thicken into chaos and consume the balance that had made room for them. Much of the duo’s sound is born from almost nothing: background noise channelled into feedback circuits (no-input) until it proliferates into matter — noise itself turned into excess; around it\, pre-recorded fragments — voices of protest — reworked live\, and the ticking of a timer\, time running out as it all unfolds. Dense saturation alternates with deep stillness\, in a free improvisation grounded in mutual listening: what happens when what we take for enrichment begins to devour us?\nH7-25 /// is the electroacoustic duo of Gianluca Catuogno (Capri) and Damiano Meacci (Florence). Born from a shared urge to improvise\, the duo builds its music from essential means: everyday objects\, small folk instruments and self-built electronics\, explored through close listening and transformed live into events\, textures and form. Each performance reshapes itself around the space that hosts it. H7-25 has performed at Tempo Reale Festival (Florence)\, Resonant Edge Festival (UK) and Audio Art Festival (Kraków)\, and in residency at Château Éphémère (Paris). Gianluca Catuogno is an electronic musician\, composer and music therapist. He has created a sound installation for sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro\, written music for theatre (with Roberto Saviano and Mimmo Borrelli) and film\, and explores live electronics in music therapy. He teaches at the Tito Schipa Conservatory in Lecce. Damiano Meacci is a musician and sound researcher\, member of Tempo Reale since 1996\, performing live electronics for Luciano Berio and many others\, from Teatro alla Scala to IRCAM. His music for Nina\, with soprano Claron McFadden\, is touring internationally. He teaches at the Cherubini Conservatory in Florence. \n\n/// Void  [smartphone network performance] Void arises from an exploration of the contemporary paradox: connection as a form of isolation. In a hyperconnected system\, constant access to personalized visual\, sonic\, and informational content generates increasingly separate individual experiences. The illusion of a shared space fragments into perceptual micro-universes\, calibrated for a single subject.\nThe performance questions the concept of spatialization\, no longer as an extension\, but as a contraction of space. A shared loudspeaker system constructs a common acoustic environment\, while the audience’s smartphones introduce another perceptual layer: private perceptual spaces\, accessible only to those who temporarily hold them. Controlled in real time by the performer\, these parallel experiences create a shifting relationship between collective listening and individual perception. Void invites the audience to reflect on the threshold between the personal and the collective\, asking whether there is something that no one can perceive alone.\nLorenzo Ballerini ///  is an Italian sound and new media artist and researcher based in Florence. He is Professor of Electroacoustic Music and Multimedia Arts at the Conservatory of Trapani. His practice explores sound\, space\, and digital media through performances and installations focused on social interaction and collective behaviour. His work has been presented at ADE Festival\, Artech\, Berlin Biennale\, Bright Festival\, CHB Berlin\, Diffrazioni Festival\, Fabbrica Europa\, Gaida Festival\, ICSC\, IRCAM-WAC\, MA/IN Festival\, MEFF\, SMC\, and Tempo Reale Festival. He has collaborated with artists including Alvise Vidolin\, Christine Meisner\, Michele Marasco\, Nicola Sani\, Paolo Parisi\, Roberto Fabbriciani\, and Tiziano Manca.\n \n\n/// Mani Rotte  [mixed media]  is a moment devoted to improvisation for electric guitar and live electronics\, and it uses no score. A melody\, or a small cell\, is developed\, redefined and transformed into a continuous dialogue between instrument\, gesture and compositional thought: improvisation\, body\, space and memory are at the heart of its research. In a hyper-productive and hyper-descriptive age\, the project chooses to withdraw toward the foundational materials of a path — texts\, melodies and harmonies — in order to reread them through contemporary tools. It recycles and reinterprets the past without indulging in formalism\, seeking an essential\, unhurried listening\, one able to counter the perceptual frenzy of the present. Mani Rotte does not claim to invent something new: it questions the very idea of originality\, generating new awareness around material that already exists. Close to improvisation on a theme and variations\, its aim is to reactivate listening and to offer fresh perspectives\, without sweetening or new terminology. It is the real-time sound-processing tools that define\, time after time\, the form and structure of the performance.\nSimone Grande /// is an Italian guitarist and sound designer. He moved to Bologna to study classical guitar with Walter Zanetti; after graduating he continued in electronic music and sound design\, focusing on improvisation through a Master’s in Electroacoustic Improvisation. His independent projects and releases include “Mani Rotte\,” a solo performance for guitar and electronics\, and “CavalloGrande\,” a cassette with Biagio Cavallo. He has collaborated with musicians and institutions such as Julien Desprez for Ohm Orchestra (Angelica Festival\, Bologna)\, Joseph Kamaru for the “Stayer” tour (La Torre Centro Musica\, Modena)\, Christian Wolff for the “Sveglia” project (Angelica\, Italy)\, Tempo Reale (Italy) for commissions and live sets\, and Virgilio Sieni’s Cango Cantieri Danza (Italy). He has released with Elli Records (France) with the B.I.G. (Bologna Improvisation Group) and NeverAnythingRecord (USA).\nHe has handled sound design for dance productions with CGJ (Italy)\, including “Pas De Deux\,” “Fuego\,” “Evento\,” and “Elysium” (Cango Cantieri Goldonetta\, Virgilio Sieni). He has been hosted internationally at the Cité des Arts in Paris and Instants Chavirés. \n\n/// miXtape [LISTENING ROOM] 10 works selected from the acousmatic category become part of the annual acousmatic mixtape featured on the MA/IN festival website. Marking the festival’s 10th anniversary\, this year’s edition extends into a physical space: a sound installation inside KORA transforms into a listening room\, allowing visitors to freely explore and experience the 10th [X] miXtape.\n \n\n\n     \n\n         \n\n© H7-25\n     \n\n         \n\n© Simone Grande

Over more than three decades\, Fennesz has redefined the possibilities of the electric guitar\, transforming it through digital processing into vast\, immersive soundscapes where melody\, noise\, and texture merge seamlessly. Mosaic unfolds as a series of interconnected sonic fragments—shimmering harmonies\, fractured rhythms\, and luminous distortions that constantly shift between abstraction and emotional immediacy. Rather than reproducing the album on stage\, Fennesz’s live performances evolve in the moment\, balancing meticulous sound design with improvisation and spontaneity. The result is a deeply atmospheric experience that invites listeners into a world where fragile beauty emerges from digital complexity\, confirming Fennesz as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary electronic music.\nFENNESZ ///  is the solo project of Austrian musician\, composer\, and sound artist Christian Fennesz (b. 1962\, Vienna). Since the early 1990s\, he has been one of the most influential figures in electronic and experimental music\, renowned for his distinctive fusion of guitar\, digital processing\, noise\, and ambient textures. International recognition came with Endless Summer (2001)\, now regarded as a landmark of electronic music. Acclaimed albums including Venice (2004)\, Black Sea (2008)\, Bécs (2014)\, Agora (2019)\, and Mosaic (2024) further developed his singular sonic language. Alongside his solo work\, Fennesz has collaborated with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto\, Alva Noto\, David Sylvian\, Jim O’Rourke\, Keith Rowe\, King Midas Sound\, and Lillevan. Performing worldwide for over three decades\, his live shows combine improvisation\, intricate sound design\, and emotional depth\, establishing him as one of the defining voices in contemporary electronic music. \n\nBreath VI [mixed media] /// Since 2020\, I have been developing a composition series titled Breath. This series explores the delicate interplay between noise and pitch\, aiming to articulate the subtle nuances and gentle gestures of sound. My goal is to weave together diverse sonic materials\, creating a rich mosaic where each sound resonates with purpose. By 2024\, I had composed six pieces in the Breath series\, each employing distinct instrumentation for varied sonic purposes\, providing multiple musical and conceptual perspectives on the theme of “breath.” Breath VI\, composed for accordion virtuoso Anthony Millet\, premiered at the ManiFeste Academy Festival\, IRCAM in June 2024. In this piece\, I employ electronics as an inner voice within the sound envelope\, enhancing the acoustic instrument with vivid and nuanced movements of inner voices. The fixed media and live electronics animate the accordion’s sound\, transforming the soundscape into a variety of sonic shapes\, gestures\, and expressions\, thereby adding depth to the sound.\nGeli Li /// is a Chinese-American composer whose musical journey spans Asia\, Europe\, and the United States. With over two decades of experience as a contemporary classical composer\, she has cultivated a prolific portfolio spanning both acoustic and electronic media\, advancing Eastern and Western musical traditions through a distinctive contemporary idiom. Her works have been performed by more than forty leading ensembles and orchestras worldwide\, including Talea Ensemble\, Klangforum Wien\, Alarm Will Sound\, and Orchestra of St. Luke’s\, among others.\n Recognized with more than fifty honors and distinctions\, her work has received awards including the Henri Lazarof International Commission Prize and the Luigi Nono International Composition Prize\, and has been supported through fellowships\, residencies\, and commissions at the Gaudeamus Festival\, DeGaetano Composition Institute\, Copland House\, the Mizzou International Composers Festival\, IRCAM’s ManiFeste\, the Rodamúsic Composers Residency in Spain\, and the Intimacy of Creativity at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.\nMichele Bianco/// graduated with honors in accordion from the “T. Schipa” Conservatory in Lecce under the guidance of Germano Scurti. A laureate of major international competitions\, he won first prizes at “Città di Castelfidardo”\, the 20th Val Tidone International Prize\, and the 12th National Arts award. He achieved top podium finishes at the Coupe Mondiale\, Trophée Mondial de l’accordéon and the “G. Zinetti” International Music Award. He regularly performs as a soloist\, with orchestras and in ensembles. His career includes appearances on Rai 1 and French TV\, collaborations with many musicians and performances at festivals worldwide\, from Lithuania to China. A champion of new music\, he has worked with international composers to expand the bayan repertoire (notably at “ComposersPlus” in Lithuania). In 2019\, his trio “Lecce Accordion Project” released the album Gogol under Maffucci Music\, featuring contemporary works. He released an album with the chamber ensemble “Sirius Accordion Trio” on Da Vinci Classics\, featuring music written specifically for accordion trio. He recorded his solo album “Silhouetten”\, which includes transcriptions and original works. \n  \n\n\n \n\n© Geli Li\n\n\n \n\n© Michele Bianco

SUMMARY:MA/IN[X] - PLAY~ il performativo in musica [vol.2]
DESCRIPTION:© LOXOS [Play~]\n \n🎟 free – cultural aperitivo included\nh 18.30\nGiacomo Fronzi [IT] /// PLAY~ il performativo in musica [vol.1]: Cage e gli altri\n* MA/IN ACADEMY \nIn the first of three planned meetings\, we began exploring the constellations of performance\, starting from a few lexical\, semantic\, and conceptual clarifications. Moving from the distinction between the performative\, performativity\, and performance\, we gradually approached the so-called “performative turn” of the 1960s\, focusing on how it played out within music. In the second meeting\, we will focus above all on one of the undisputed protagonists of that era\, John Cage. After reconstructing his biography\, we will focus on some essential milestones of his output\, as well as the role he played in the development of the performing arts in the second half of the twentieth century. In addition to Cage\, we will also frame other central figures of the musical landscape of those decades: George Brecht\, Nam June Paik\, and La Monte Young. \nGiacomo Fronzi /// is Associate Professor at the University of Bari Aldo Moro\, where he teaches Aesthetics\, Aesthetics of the Performing Arts\, and Aesthetics of Music. He holds degrees in Philosophy (Lecce) and Musicology (Venice)\, a PhD in Philosophy\, and a diploma in Piano. He is the author of around one hundred publications\, eight of which are monographs. His main books include Theodor W. Adorno. Pensiero critico e musica\, Philosophical Considerations on Contemporary Music\, Electrosound. Storia ed estetica della musica elettroacustica\, Percorsi musicali del Novecento. Storie\, personaggi\, poetiche da Schönberg a Sciarrino\, and Performance. Un itinerario filosofico e storico-artistico. For Treccani’s Enciclopedia della musica contemporanea\, he wrote the entries “Rivoluzioni e musica\,” “Musica sperimentale\,” “Razzismo e musica\,” and “Canzone di protesta.” He writes program notes for concert organizations and institutions\, and has contributed to the newspaper Il Manifesto and to Micromega. Alongside his teaching and research\, he is also active as a pianist\, music critic\, and radio host (Rai Radio3 and Rete2 of Radio Svizzera Italiana). \n\n\n\n\n⊕ MA/IN academy: is a structured program dedicated to training and education in contemporary music\, multi-level and multi-target: the offering for the general public includes the new educational trilogy curated by Giacomo Fronzi—which follows the previous trilogy on the history of electroacoustic music by the duo Iavarone/Gatti—the presentation of the 10th edition festival catalog curated by Antonio Mastrogiacomo and Ambra Benvenuto\, talks with artists\, listening introductions\, and concerts dedicated to the centenaries of some great composers.

SUMMARY:MA/IN[X] - GVINIASHVILI  | DROLJC

As these systems collide\, they overflow into one another: virtual and physical domains interfere\, clash\, and permeate each other\, generating hybrid forms. These bodies drift between the fragile and the tectonic\, suspended through exchanges of energy and dancing on the threshold of stability. The work unfolds as an osmotic field of tension—a continuous becoming shaped by visceral forces intertwined with a technologically mediated reality. Drawing from both old and new ideas\, resampled material\, and recontextualized fragments of previous works\, Osmotic Bodies treats memory itself as an osmotic field—eroded\, shaped\, and constantly reassembled.\nTadej Droljc /// is a Slovenian artist and creative coder working at the intersection of sound\, image\, and light. His work has received the Lumen Prize Student Award\, the Dennis Smalley Scholarship for Electroacoustic Music (UK)\, and the Most Promising Video Artist Award at Madatac (Madrid). He completed his PhD at the Centre for Research in New Music (CeReNeM)\, University of Huddersfield (UK)\, receiving an award for outstanding research. His collaborative project Synspecies won the Edigma Semibreve Award and was shortlisted for the Lumen Prize. Tadej has presented his work at festivals including Mutek Montreal and Mexico\, Ars Electronica Linz\, NEMO Paris\, Signal Prague\, Sónar Istanbul\, L.E.V. Madrid and Gijón\, Deep Space Shanghai\, Semibreve Braga\, Lunchmeat Prague\, WeSA Seoul\, and others. Through his collaboration with Ars Electronica Futurelab on the Immersify project\, his work has also been presented at Inter BEE Tokyo\, IBC Amsterdam\, and the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes \n\n/// human.exist = False  I am watching a video on Instagram: a child falls from a high-rise building\, caught by a passing stranger. The crowd is shocked and in tears\, and my own eyes are welling up with relief. The video loops\, and then I spot it—a sixth finger on the saviour’s hand. I’m crying for an algorithm (again). The piece is born from that daily glitch in reality\, where the simulation looks so terrifyingly real that we don’t even realise we’re pouring very real emotions into code.\nMariam Gviniashvili  /// is a composer and sound artist working across electroacoustic and instrumental music\, spatial audio\, and multimedia. Her work focuses on the physical and emotional dimensions of sound and space\, often integrating visuals and live performance. Originally from Georgia\, Gviniashvili grew up singing and playing piano before pursuing composition at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire\, the Liszt Academy of Music\, and the Norwegian Academy of Music.  She has received commissions from institutions such as INA GRM\, ZKM | Center for Art and Media\, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter\, Oslo Sinfonietta\, Notam\, Ny Musikk\, Nordic Voices\, MA/IN\, and the Hong Kong Visualisation Research Centre.

It invites a way of looking and listening without thinking or a fixed purpose\, as an exploration of my own aesthetics. The work moves from reaction diffusion textures\, to a familiar unreal sky built from layered noise\, and finally to magnetic fields shaped by the interaction between the magnetosphere and the solar wind. These invisible forces are close to daily life and can be felt as gentle shifts in rhythm and attention. Images follow the field’s direction and intensity\, while sound moves between near silence and noise.\nHuang Wei ///  is an audio-visual artist based in Taipei. His work centers on observations of everyday life\, transforming non-ordinary visual experiences into familiar contexts through intuitive imagination of objects and systems. Explores how image and sound operate together to enhance a sense of reality and immersion\, while incorporating his personal aesthetic sensibility. In recent years\, his practice has focused on algorithm-based image and sound systems\, developing real-time performance formats. His works have been presented at major events including the Lacking Sound Festival. In 2021\, he was selected for the Taiwan Sound Lab (TSL) residency program. He performed at TUNNEL TOKYO in 2023 and WeSA Festival in Seoul in 2024.

R. Duni” di Matera (classi di composizione e musica elettronica); coordinamento: M° Roberto Vetrano \n\n/// The word Changüí is a common expression in Rioplatense lunfardo (the slang traditionally spoken in Argentina and Uruguay)\, referring to an advantage\, a benefit\, a concession. In this work\, the gestures and sonic materials produced by the violin are gradually taken up\, extended\, and transformed by the electronics\, which offer them a kind of “second chance” or continuation: changüí becomes a musical metaphor. Rather than merely imitating the instrument\, the electronics establish a dialogue with it\, opening up an additional space for expression. [Rocío Cano Valiño]\nFrises focused on the idea of one historical ostinato variation form. The first part “Frise jaune” is a prelude\, a flexible improvisation around a constant D\, coloured by harmonics and the electronic part consisting of bell sounds. This part is also inspired by the idea of carillon. The second part “Frise de fleurs” is based on a harmony created on a ground bass. Sequences of successive chords are gradually enriched before opening to achieve a more free and lyrical development. [Kaija Saariaho]\n \nGiovanna Sevi /// is an Italian violinist based in Paris. Born in 1999\, she pursued her studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris\, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome and the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Ghent.\nAt the heart of her artistic project lie contemporary creation and dialogue with composers. She collaborated with the Ensemble Intercontemporain\, Musikfabrik\, L’Itinéraire\, and Ictus\, and with composers like Georges Aperghis\, Marco Stroppa\, George Benjamin\, Beat Furrer\, Stefano Gervasoni.Laureate of the Lucerne Festival\, she has performed as a soloist at Manifeste Festival (IRCAM\, 2025)\, Festival Présences (Radio France\, 2026)\, Impuls Festival (Graz\, 2025)\, Festival Propagations (Marseille\, 2024)\, Mixtur Festival (Barcelona\, 2024)\, Blurred Edges Festival (Hamburg\, 2026)\, Meridian Festival (Bucharest\, 2024)\, Festival Messiaen aux Pays de la Meije (La Grave\, 2024).

SUMMARY:MA/IN[X] - Interférences  | Tanah Tanah
DESCRIPTION:©Mutek Montreal [Interférences] \n🎟 ticket in vendita presso il  Teatro Guerrieri fino esaurimento posti\n▷ apertura porte h 20.00\n \n▷ concerto\nh 20.30\n⦿ Alexis Langevin-Tétrault [CA] /// Interférences\nlive performance \nh 21.00\n⦿ Rami Syahbandi [ID] /// Tanah Tanah\nA/V percussion performance \n\n/// Interférence (String Network) is an audiovisual performance that explores the possibilities of embodiment of an electroacoustic work in real time through gestural interaction with a unique device. On stage\, an audioreactive play of light unfolds gradually: Alexis Langevin-Tétrault builds a network of strings with which he interacts to create a sound universe between the industrial noise\, electronica and acousmatic music. Through the staging of corporality and the dialectical relationship between the human and the machine\, Interférences (String Network) presents an allegory of the globalized and interconnected modern world in which the individual seeks to derive meaning from his experience and attempts to preserve its freedom of action. Alexis Langevin-Tétrault proposes a singular universe and infuses a live dynamic to a musical genre rarely incarnated by performance.\nAlexis Langevin-Tétrault /// is an interdisciplinary artist and composer based in Montreal and born in Baie-Comeau\, Canada. He has contributed to a variety of projects such as the collectives Aubes\, Falaises\, DATANOISE\, QUADr and ILEA\, in addition to solo audiovisual performances such as REPLIKAS\, Hypercube (one) and Interférences (String Network). His work explores the concept of corporality and is characterized by the design of audiovisual devices\, physical performance\, scenographic and dramaturgic work\, exploration of sound synthesis\, and also conceptual and social reflection. His work has been presented in more than 110 international events and 25 countries\, such as Ars Electronica (AT)\, L.E.V. (ESP)\, MUTEK (CA)(ES)(JP)\, Biennale NÉMO (FR)\, Transart (IT)\, ADAF (GR)\, Intonal (SWE)\, NEXT (SVK)\, BIAN-Elektra (CA)\, ISEA (KR)(CA)\, Akousma (CA) and Espace du son (BE). Alexis Langevin-Tétrault also released more than 20 electronic music albums. His audio work was rewarded by Foundation Destellos (AR) in 2014 and 2015\, by SOCAN Foundation (CA) in 2015\, and also by Exhibitronic Festival (FR)\, International Electroacoustic Music Week (FR) and fondation Musiques & Recherches (BE) in 2016. \n\n/// Tanah Tanah is a cross-disciplinary electronic media work that combines audio\, visual\, and performative installation as an experimental medium to examine the ecological\, social\, and economic relationships behind illegal gold mining practices in the interior of West Kalimantan. This work utilizes an ecological soundscape approach and photographic visual architecture to form a sensory narrative that connects data\, landscape\, and experience. Technically\, the installation utilizes two 12-inch subwoofer speaker systems that emit infrasonic signals to trigger rhythmic patterns that function as both musical instruments and sound sources.\nRami Syahbandi /// is a Pontianak-based sound and visual artist whose work explores socio-environmental and cultural convergence through electronic media\, installations\, and visual art. He has been involved in and worked on a variety of projects\, ranging from acoustic compositions to video works\, electronic music production\, engineering\, media installations\, and multi-channel audio.\n \n\n\n     \n\n         \n\n© Alexis Langevin-Tétrault\n     \n\n         \n\n© Rami Syahbandi
