iD Festival, Gorzow
*iD – a collaborative project examining the creation and expression of artistic identity*
iD is an international site-specific project taking place in Gorzow, Poland, from 5-12th June 2009. Organised by Cork-based artist Bartek Nowak with SKART (Cork), Salon Bruit (Berlin), and Association Strefa Sztuki (Gorzow), and hosted by the Municipal Centre of Art (MOS) Gorzow. The project will bring together over 20 artists from Ireland, England, Germany, Poland, U.S., Switzerland, Netherlands, France and Japan for a week-long series of exhibitions, events, talks, and presentations addressing the issue of artistic identity.
iD_ea
Project ‘iD’ is the effect of conversations held between artists during ArtTrail ’08 in Cork. ‘iD’ is an attempt to outline artist’s identity and how it’s connected with their place of work? We are moving to learn, live, experience, fulfil. Some participants live abroad or often meet people from other countries. Multiculturalism is common. What factors influence artist’s practice like geography, social surround, economics, culture, history, politics, climate, etc.
Participating artists and groups include: Agata Janicka, Agnieszka Kowalska, Agnieszka Krupienczyk, Andrzej Janczewski, Bartosz Nowak, Beata Stanek, Daniel Adamski, Daniel Weiss, Dawid Szafranski, Dr. Nexus, Ewa Bone, Ewa Wawrow, Farah Hatam, fastandhot, Froggy Burger, Graeme Walker, Hubert Winnik, Jo FRGMNT Grys, Kevin Tuohy, Krzysztof Matuszak, Krzysztof Zimmermann, Le Code and guests, Les Enfants Bendible, Mateusz Puchaiski, Michel Rajchemba, MISIETUPODOBA, Pawel Zimmermann, Peggy Sylopp (generative.org), Sara Buame, Petite Musique Apocaliptyque, Schmacke, Seamus O’Donnell (LifeLoop), Sharon McCarthy, Slawomir Kusnierz, Stephanie Hough, Takahiro Suzuki, Tomasz Kalitko, Tomasz Madajczak, Zie Nietoperze
The formation and development of artistic identity is a very complex and never-ending process, influenced both consciously and sub-consciously by a wide range of factors including social, economic, and political context; climate, family, media; deliberate choices and concidences such as location, nationality, religion. The main exhibition venue for the project in Gorzow is a former orphanage, and though not deliberately selected we feel it is a particularly relevant building in which to explore the creation and expression of individual and collective artistic identity.
This project is, hopefuly, the first in a series of collaborations and exhanges between Berlin, Cork and Gorzow to be organised by this group.

LiFeLooP
http://lifeloop.org/
Although Arran Handully is the most popular lifeloop actress on the planet Capitol she is sick of acting and wants to retire. Her manager tells her of an idea that for one last lifeloop that will make her rich enough to quit. She suggests that Arran do a nonstop loop from the time she wakes up from suspended animation to the time she goes back to sleep using the fictional drug Somec twenty-one days later. Arran reluctantly agrees to this because she really wants to quit. On the last day of filming a famous lifeloop actor named Hamilton Ferlock comes to her apartment. Shortly after arriving he breaks character, tells her that he loves her and asks her to marry him. She assumes that he is just doing this to play a trick on her and rejects him very coldly before going to the Sleeproom to be put under Somec. When she wakes up she finds out that Hamilton committed suicide a week after she went to sleep. She also discovers that she really cared for him.
Return to Sender (LiFeLooP)
Three or four radio receivers and four mini-FM transmitters, each transmitting on a different frequency what it is being fed or what it picks up from the near field chaos surrounding it. The transmission between the devices is affected by what frequency the receivers are tuned to, the immediate electro-magnetic field, human presence and furniture. The signal is not a sound loop travelling in the area of intervention, but a spontaneous event, resulting from collective action in perpetual movement.

Revolver
http://www.myspace.com/revolverduo
Kim Johannesen and Fredrik Kirkevold have played together in different constellations for several years, and have, after a lot of practising and searching, found a musical world of their own with a high level of communication. Musically, the duo is in constant change. The duo is a breathing space for both musicians, where they can play with their highest personal expressions, and develop new expressions through improvisation. The music is very dynamic and varies from total silence to total noise.
REVOLVER! was in 2008 chosen out of 51 Norwegian bands to participate in JazzIntro, Young Norwegian Jazztalents of the year, where they made it to the finals at Molde Int. Jazzfestival as the only band playing totally improvised music. Furthermore the duo has played at MaiJazz in Stavanger and toured Scandinavia and England, where they amongst others played at the well known jazz- and improv-venue The Vortex in London. They have also collaborated with the great Norwegian freejazz saxophonist Frode Gjerstad.

OBLIQ richtet die Aufmerksamkeit auf feine Nuancen, scheinbar nebensächlichen Details, die unter mikroskopischer Betrachtung lebendig werden.
Pierre Borel wurde 1987 in Paris geboren. Er beginnt mit 7 Jahren Saxophon zu spielen und studiert Klassik und Jazz im CNR de Paris und dann im CNSM de Paris (conservatoire national superieur de musique), wo er Unterricht in Arrangement, Komposition und Improvisation bekommt. 2006 zieht er nach Berlin, studiert im J.I.B und interressiert sich immer mehr für improvisierte Musik. Er spielt im Trio “Luc Tonnerre”, im Sextett vom Bassisten Andreas Waelti “Transit room” und gründete sein eigenes Septett, das “Pierre Borel Septett”.
Clayton Thomas is a double bassist and grass roots organiser working in the broad spectrum of improvised and experimental music. He is Australian, but lives in Berlin. I’m trying to work out a physical activity equally engaged in electronic and acoustic music aesthetics, while maintaining the kind of transitional and transformative energy of the music that changed my life. I draw inspiration from creative music of all eras, happily learning from and engaging with improvisers, sound artists, composers and thinkers alive and kicking in the 21st century. I have been inspired and pushed by many great musicians, but would especially thank my first teachers Wilber Morris and Peter Kowald, and Jon Rose, Jim Denley, Andrew Meisel, Cooper-Moore, Tony Buck and Hollis Taylor for doing some real work on the topic.
Hannes Lingens (*1980 in Hamburg) studierte Schlagzeug bei Michael Griener und Günter “Baby” Sommer. Ausserdem spielt Hannes Lingens chromatisches Knopfakkordeon und veröffentlichte 2004 die Soloakkordeon CD „Hands up“ mit ausschliesslich eigenen Kompositionen. Er bewegt sich mit beiden Instrumenten im Spannungsfeld zwischen neuem Jazz und improvisierter Musik. Dieses Interesse führte ihn nach Berlin, wo er seit Sommer 2006 lebt. Er spielt u.a. mit den Bands Schulbus, Cassis, Obliq und arbeitete mit Künstlern wie Christof Kurzmann, Matthias Schubert und Ken Vandermark zusammen.

KRISTUS KUT (Netherlands)
With elements form voodoo rituals, porn movies and lots and lots of low noises most of them created life. LSB was called a mad voodoo priest, a sex magician, this resulted in a full length on SkullLine called Music For Sex rituals. Split cdrs were made with Norss, Disciplina Urbana, Zieltogend, Al Qaeda, Gaad, Mystified, Mixturizer (for the series Harsh Music for Hot Nurses), Phalanx feat the White Rabbit, Frbz, Wolfsduister on various labels all around the world. Also Kristus Kut made some very famous netreleases, Dadaistic Dances of Sorrow on Fronha records Brasil (broadcasted on NTNS RADIO), For the Love of the Black Queen (broadcasted on Aural Apocalypse LA-USA) and Kiss of the Black Queen on Okkulth records (Netherlands). And the split with Gaad and Phalanx on Abandonment records (Bulgaria) in 2009 Kristus Kut is signed by Quartier23 an label specialized in ritual music and books. The first release will be Kiss of The Black Queen. First an netrelease on the Okkulth netlabel, but will now be released as an deluxe cdr. the track -take me-i’m yours- has already been played on Aural Apocalypse. The performance at the K77 in Berlin on april 17th will be the presentation of this release. All recordings on the cdrs were done in a live setting! No overdubs! Kristus Kut believes in capturing the moment. The present at that time. A ritual is not a ritual if it is done with extra adding. It was there. It is there! But – Kristus Kut is a project to be seen live. It is full of energy. Controlled energy exploding energy. Burning candles. Mystic projections. Rage lust anger.. it is all there. With vocals, (sex)loops, bass drumming, and other onorthodox instruments. It is an experience you will never forget.

This really will be a GOOD Friday, when, appropriately enough like the Magi, we have the pleasure of bringing you three offerings (we, however, in typical arsewise fashion, do it to celebrate the death of god). And, in a further deviation from historical “fact”, they are musical and neither metalic or ressin based and, unusually for the Bruit, of a distictly accoustic bent. We hope you find the time to enjoy….
Airbus in Berlin: O’tanzz airbus is a constantly changing (in terms of people and music) improv group based on Brussels. ‘Airbus in berlin’ is the opportunity to play when two of O’tanzz airbus active musicians, Rudy Servais (tuba and lot of stuff from anywhere…) and Hadrien Peters (Guitar and analogue synthesizer), come in Berlin to visit two of their Brussel’s musician friends, Lisa Dangotte (flutes) and Guillaume Rabusseau (Computer (samples manipulation), recently landed on Berlin.
We’ll try to make you travel with our music (which we don’t already know what shape it will take) sometimes made of fury, sometimes of sleepiness, sometimes of nothing, sometimes of too much…………….”
PQA: These three young musicians from Roanne met in 2000 in a jazz festival in Bourguogne. They started their first music experiences at the high school the year after and had the maturity in 2002, just before losting theirselves in a music more and more experimental. After going to different kind of improvised music festivals, they decide to start again their work in trio, and created in the same way the MICRO association (Improvised Music in the region of Roanne). They had lot of concerts in France, England, Scotland and Ireland and collaborated with two musician Dubliners (2008) and with the dancer Li Ping Ting (2005). They especially like british, Japanese and Berliner improvised music. They use to celebrate their sound love with semi-acoustic music, intense and with a lot of relief.

This Friday we present …
Darwinsbitch is fluid forms of drones, doomy
laments, and folk melodies fleshed out from a backbone
of sine oscillators and violin. She laces these austere
drones with an all-too-often unheard delicacy and richness.
In the end, it’s simply beautiful music.
Kyrre Laastad – drums, Daniel Meyer Grøvold – guitar and Ola Høyer – double bass.
Our music is slow and quiet and we tend to improvise with focus on structure and material, still we are not opposed to composition.

“Defrosting Tray”
Tuerlinckx Anaïs : Inside Piano
Pascal Matthey : Violin
Lena Sperrfechter : Double Bass and Flute
We are three acoustic musicians who are used to improvise in several bands and occasions. Anaïs and Pascal used to improvise together since 2000 with Michel Massot’s working group of improvised music. Lena and Anaïs met in Berlin at the UDK workshop of Carlos Sandoval making the link between improvisation and composition and are playing together since then. The three musicians have the same deep interest in free improvisation and are playing in Salon Bruit for a special session of acoustic noise.
We also have for you the beautiful sounds and sights of the one and only Marc Fantini in the bar.

Lars Lundehave Hansen has been working in the fields of ambient/drones and noise for the past decade and then some, both as enthusiastic promotor of, and dedicated performer in these fields. He co-founded legendary organization Noisejihad and is the catalyst behind danish renowned drone-act Wäldchengarten. The latter having a batch of highly acclaimed releases under their belt.
The usual works of Lars L. Hansen are often installations or constructions, making a point of being constructions that emit or react to sounds or noise. An attempt to explore the relations between timbre / room and reaction / result. However, in live situations you can expect nothing but the sole attempt at trying to trancend the time/space-continuum through an eclectic blend of sounds considered more or less musical.
….and for extra listening satisfaction, before, between and after the acts there will be entertainment dished out by ….
Described by those in the business of knowing more as
a non conforming aural cacophony of caged raged carefully constructed cosmological chaos.
Salon Bruits resident dj PTPGast regularly spins a densely layered schizophrenic mix of outsider sounds and plunderphonic samples, oozing a politically satirical-subversive sexually stimulating salon bruitesque soundworld.

Marko Batista (Ljublijana, London) performs “Error Trash v.1.4″ – experimental project combining digital noise and video – which focuses on issues related to data transfer in the current
and wide-spread digital multimedia communication systems. Instead of
avoiding the errors, the project uses them as a tool for creating environment,
based on the unusable data errors created during transfer. The project
moreover addresses the issues of technology and communication systems in
a contemporary society.

.adol (Berlin). Das Duo kümmert sich weniger um stilistische Grenzen, vielmehr um den Dualismus Komposition/Improvisation in unterschiedlichen Freiheitsgraden.
Vorgegebene musikalische Elemente fungieren als Stichwortgeber, tonale und atonale Kompositionen werden mit klanghaften Improvisationen unter Zuhilfenahme eines laptop, sei es als Sampler oder als bloßes “Zuspielband” verknüpft. Die Elektronik ist dabei wesentliches und prägendes Element: vom laptop gespielte Samples werden klanglich verfremdet, ihrer ursprünglichen musikalischen Bedeutung beraubt und im Dialog mit E-Gitarre und angehängter Elektronik zu Stücken verarbeitet, welche nicht mehr eindeutig nur Improvisation oder Komposition sind, vielmehr eine Art „instant composing”.
Die Kommunikation findet auf verschiedenen Ebenen statt: zwischen den Instrumentalisten (Klarinette und E-Gitarre), der jeweiligen Elektronik, aber ebenso , gleichsam rückgekoppelt, zwischen der Elektronik und den Instrumenten. Die Musiker schaffen eine Balance zwischen Rationalität und Irrationalität, Konventionalität und Extravaganz, zwischen beherrschbaren Faktoren in der Musik und unvorhergesehen Ereignissen.
