ABOUT PROGRAMME SUAL AWARD PRESS IMPRINT SUAL HOME
The interdisciplinary Festival for Music and Sound Art shut up and listen! enters its ninth season.
Indebted to a transdisciplinary attitude, SUAL 2014 will include instrumental and electroacoustic
music, media art, audiovisual presentations, a lecture and a listening room. After last year’s focus
on ‘endless music’ this year’s edition will feature musical and artistic strategies which show
discrete-eventful, repetitive, or pulsating constellations. Some Keywords: Beat | Loop | Pattern |
Pulse, and/or: Instants | Events | Moments - i.e. compositional, extra-musical or conceptual as
well as transmedial approaches of the most diverse makings and provenience.
Tina Frank presents nine video loops that are made audible on mobile phones via a QR-code,
Michaela Schwentner shows a minimalist audiovisual work, in collaboration with French composer
Paul Clouvel. Musicologist Gerhard Kubik talks about Auditory Illusions in African Music, while Lukas
Ligeti takes Kubik‘s research as a reference point for his solo recital Polymetric Choreographies for
Drum Set. The duo Brandlmayr//Hegenbart relates in their ‘Observations #1’ to the complex
textures in the swarm behaviour of birds.
The second festival day gets started with the SHUT UP AND LISTEN! AWARD 2014 and the
presentation of price-winning works. Lukas Schiske performs exceptional works for solo percussion
by Peter Ablinger and James Tenney. The Duo Soufflé presents a composition by Peter Jakober,
where the live sounds of clarinet and flute are interwoven with their electro-acoustic derivates,
resulting in microtonal textures. London-based media artist Simon Longo focuses in his audiovisual
performance We are made of water peculiar reflections of a vibrating water surface. Finally, SUAL
2014 comes to an ending with a collective listening session featuring Ryoji Ikedas digital sound
meditation Matrix [for rooms] and a subsequent brunch.
