BLAUES RAUSCHEN "on air" from 23:00 WDR3 open sounds Saturday, 18.12.2021 For the third time this year, WDR 3 will broadcast recordings of the live performances from this year's festival BLAUES RAUSCHEN. From September 25 to October 3, a total of 24 projects could be heard on stages in Bochum, Dortmund and Essen. In the next broadcast of the series "open sounds" at Studio Akustische Kunst, Ilka Beyer will present two more concerts next Saturday: valve strategies by Liz Allbee 4² by Wei Kang Beh (Recording from 30.09.2021 from the Mex-Keller in the Künstlerhaus Dortmund).
Valve Strategies takes the word 'digital' back to its roots: the trumpet's finger system, reimagined as a controller for channel assignment & spatialization. The soundscape in Liz Allbee's performance moves between electroacoustic experimental music and song structure. Small instruments and extensions are made from simple and reusable materials (reeds cut from recycled plastic packaging, mouthpieces assembled from the parts of old accordions, and bellows tubes) and then combined with newer technologies (tablet, controller) to create a hybrid junk lab.
4² by Wei Kang Beh is an audio-visual and graphic score project that explores the concepts of internal/external energy and data transformation flows, from physical space to mental space and from mental space back to physical space. The composition references the magic square equation patterns proposed by Albrecht Dürer. Within the confines, a series of sinus landscapes act and react between certainty (order) and uncertainty (chaos), transcending into a multivirtual performance. Glissandi represent in the composition the pulsating frequency of energy exchange in our physical and virtual reality.
