TUNE x frameless. Tomoko Sauvage, Christina Vantzou

Information

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 and presents Tomoko Sauvage and Christina Vantzou at Haus der Kunst. On Friday, both artists give solo performances. On Saturday, they take part in an artist talk, followed by a durational performance by Tomoko Sauvage.

Japanese-born and Paris-based musician and sound artist Tomoko Sauvage is best known for her long-standing experimentation with instruments that combine water, ceramics, sub-aquatic amplification, and electronics. Her research is grounded in live performance practices that embrace the unpredictable dynamics of materials. Incorporating ritualistic gestures, she playfully improvises with environments, using chance as a compositional method.

Christina Vantzou is a Brussels-based composer who explores the expansion of time, atmosphere, and harmony through electronics and acoustic instruments. Her releases include five numbered solo albums of ambient-classical music on American label Kranky, 2020's Multi-Natural LP; a foray into abstract electronics and field recordings released by the Belgian label Edições CN, two full-length albums with John Also Bennett as CV & JAB, and many other solo and collaborative works.

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.

A project by Karin Zwack (frameless). Curated by Sarah Miles (Haus der Kunst).
