Sound Performance: Thursday , January 16th, 7 pm
The sound performance „trex“, developed after a residency at Villa North, is based on the tapping sound of a small wooden toy as it travels down a long wooden plank. The little dinosaur, borrowed from Villa North, wobbles and stumbles, creating a sound reminiscent of horse hooves or the driving rhythm of a cumbia. Inspired by these sounds, a composition was developed, building on and extending the toy’s distinctive clattering noise.
Polly Mehr is the electropop project of singer and music producer Julia Vogt, who is also the frontwoman and lyricist of the Riot Grrrl punk band Musheen. Her lyrics are often melancholic, and her musical influences range from artists like Björk and Fever Ray to the 8-bit sounds of early console games.
Hylut is a solo project by the artist and composer Marija Jociūtė. Through processes of deconstruction, manipulation, and recontextualization of various types of data and sources, she explores the potential of auditory and narrative story telling. Hylut weaves together sounds of synthesizers, pulses of rhythm machines, digital elements as well as her own voice to create organically morphing sound compositions, exploring new possible correlations between tangible and ephemeral truths of our collective perception.
