The TUNE series continues to explore sounds from non-human sources that have their own agency and performances that alter our perception of space, time, and boundaries. The November edition is a collaboration with frameless, presenting Tomoko Sauvage and Christina Vantzou at Haus der Kunst.
Japanese-born and Paris-based musician and sound artist Tomoko Sauvage has developed her original musical instrument, Waterbowls, by initially drawing inspirations from the traditional South Indian instrument, Jaltarang. Her long-term experimentation, enlivened by a tactile research on properties of materials, transformed water-filled porcelain bowls into an aqueous electroacoustic instrument. She animates the inanimate through tuning water and vessels, making them vibrate and magnifying their tiny sounds that are otherwise quasi-inaudible. In her amplified waters, Sauvage plays with water drops and waves, clay, stones, shells and glass objects as idiophonic or membranophonic instruments and often in combination with bubbles that are used to create a kind of underwater aerophones. Sauvage’s active use of acoustic feedback, a phenomenon generally considered troublesome, has led her to engage in an encompassing approach to the architecture, the acoustic space and the presence of all matters within. Her role as a performer can be interpreted as a gardener who controls the controllable, leaving the chance to unfold the rest.
Saturday's durational performance will focus on hydrophonic feedback and its liquid-modulated curved tones as she calls it sonic calligraphy. Sauvages instrumentarium will be extended with small resonant objects and “bells” from her more recent research.
The durational performance offers an immersive listening experience. It is intended as a deep listening, almost “sleep concert” for audience members. Visitors are welcome to lie down on the soft carpeted floor of the auditorium, and those who wish may bring their own pillow or blanket.
Frameless is a local concert series dedicated to experimental music that explores the changing conditions of life in the digital age and has been committed to contemporary trends in aural art for nearly a decade.
Curated by Karin Zwack (frameless) and Sarah Miles (Haus der Kunst).
