///ANOTHER FESTIVAL
May 4. & 5., 2019 | Brick 5 in Vienna
This year motto of aNOther festival was border-line. In a wide variety of performances borderline experiences in remote and isolated locations as well as the dramatic moments at Keleti train station during the flow of refugees in 2015. The program included also transformation and liminality, schemes of perception in relation to discontinuity of geometries and languages beyond nature and culture as well as connections between mental states, reflections and healing powers of herbs. Improvisations and compositions were moving in a state of tension between banality, archaism and expression and their sound realization.

/// LOSING CONTROL
June 6, 2019 | echoraum
Losing Control is project by media artists Philip Leitner and Dario Sanfilippo. The evening began with a discussion on the main principles of complex adaptive systems, their applications in artistic practice, which were compared with other artificial intelligence technologies used today. Two members of the Heinz von Foerster archive were also present and found the discussion stimulating. The evening continued with the performance of the piece Order from Noise - Homage to H. von Foerster by Dario Sanfilippo, who presented a work on solo improvisation using autonomous algorithms. Philip Leitner followed with Optimal Brain Damage # 8372, his human-machine interaction performance using electronics, resonance bodies (piano) and space as elements of an ecosystem. The final performance was a quartet with two humans operating as perturbations on two autonomous digital systems. The feedback from the audience was generally very positive.

///CLUB RADIOKOJE
June 22, 2019 | Kongressbad in Vienna
The association czirp czirp – sonic and experimental arts realized the CLUB RADIOKOJE on June 22, 2019 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Vienna Congress Bath. In cooperation with the IGNM – Austria and the MA44 Städtische Bäder Wien, the Kongressbad 2019 once again became an experimental field to the musical form, to liquefy it, to distort it, to transfer it to other aggregates and to receive stimulating and emancipating impulses for pulling out artists and the audience.
A rich program included sound performances by Elisabeth Schimana, Hui Ye, Benjamin Tomasi and Magnetoceptia as well as a historical radio program (with a conversation) under the title #radioresistance about the history of the Kongressbad with the district historian Ferdinand Kovarik and the historian Maximilian Hartmuth (University of Vienna).

/// UNSAFE + SOUNDS INTERLUDE
September 13, 2019 | Steinergasse 8, 1170 Vienna
In cooperation with God’s Entertainment and DREISECHSFUENF
The program of this year's one-day festival was dense and heterogeneous. The concert contributions tried to cover a stylistically broad spectrum of musical forms of expression, from the visual extensions of the concert program to the performances and the parallel exhibition program with pictures, sculptures, video works and interactive installations. Right at the opening of the evening, Elisabeth Schimana’s world premiere Virus # 2.5 - a piece for 5 musicians assigned around the room. This was followed by a second world premiere, Ulla Rauter's Euphonia, a work in the best DIY style. Audiovisual constribution with the Black Page Orchestra were on the program in the second part of the evening. While in Mirela Ivicevic’s composition Dream Work, the visual level constituted the starting point of the artistic work - the composition was created in spring 2019 as a new live musical setting of the experimental film Dream Work (2001) by Peter Tscherkassky. Here the composition Wolfgang Mitterer's networds 14 # 2 from 2014 was visually reinterpreted by Patrik Lechner. The Black Page Orchestra program ended with the performance This Is Not Soap Opera? with God’s Entertainment. After the foam had settled a bit, spherical transcendental ambient sounds flooded through the hall, caused by the gripping duo Oliver Johnson (Dorian Concept) on the synthesizer and Pamelia Stickney on her theremin. Then it got louder again, crackling noise sounds, but also repeatedly surprising beats and rhythmic loops, Stefano D'Alessio elicited from his desk lamp, whose light he tracked with a webcam and with this input produced live electronic sounds in addition to the actual lamp sounds - another visual and sound highlight at a late hour. With Tomasz Vollmann’s performance Pointless Performance 3 – a grotesque audience confusion with lots of accessories, chaos and coincidence, the concert-performative part of the festival came to an end.

/// AUGMENTED REALITY - Series # 1, Studio Dan & guests
October 12, 2019 | Porgy & Bess in Vienna| In cooperation with Jeunesse
The Augmented Reality - Series # 1 project is the first round of a multi-part experimental set-up to expand the ensemble's repertoire. For the first series, 10 world premieres were given, seven of them were curated by the ensemble, and the other three were chosen by the artistic team of musikprotokoll Graz. In a rigorously formal principle, the duration of each piece was extended by one minute (from one to ten minutes) and the cast was extended by one player (from solo to tentet). In addition, strictly in accordance with the principle, one piece was given to a male composer and the next one to a female composer, so that exact gender quotas prevailed in the total number of authors. The program consisted of works by Austrian and international composers: Arash Azadi (IR), Cynthia Zaven (LB), Clemens Wenger (AT), Oxana Omelchuk (BY / GE), Matthias Kranebitter (AT), Maja Osojnik (SLO / AT ), Christof Dienz (AT), Bushra el-Turk (LB / UK), Vincent Pongracz (AT) and Susanna Gartmayer (AT).

/// STUTTGARTER VOKALSOLISTEN
December 3-5, 2019 | Anton Bruckner Private University Linz (ABPU)
In the framework of the festival LEICHT über LINZ
Cooperation with the Anton Bruckner Private University Linz
The concerts of the Neue Vokalsolisten Stuttgarter on the 3rd, 4th, 12th and the concert on December 5th were collaborations with the IGNM-O.Ö. / Linz. All concerts were very well attended, especially by students, which suggests that the path taken by the ABPU and the IGNM is promising. It is very nice to observe that works by many students were performed, in combination with "established" composers this resulted in a well-rounded program. The fantastic Stuttgart Vokalsolisten devoted themselves to the numerous world premieres. Many professors at the Institute for Composition, Conducting and Computer Music work together with IGNM-O.Ö. / Linz and they can look forward to LEICHT über LINZ 2020.

/// TRANSDUKTIONEN / SOUND AS AN INTERFACE
June 4, 2019 8:00 p.m. | Kultum [in the Cubus], Graz
Cooperation of the IGNM Steiermark with the Ensemble Schallfeld and the cultural center at the Minoriten Graz
This concert # 1 was conceived as a "mediation concert". The concert brought to the stage in Vienna by Ensemble Schallfeld, also explicitly presented in Vienna as a cooperation with the IGNM Styria.
Works by Andres G. Martinez, Davide Gagliardi, Agostino Di Scipio, Luc Döbereiner, Lula Romero and Daniela Fantechi were performed by Schallfeld Ensemble.
The approaches of the various composers share an understanding of technology that does not aim at the virtuoso realization of already existing ideas, but understands technology as a possibility to create exploratory dynamic links between people, machines, spaces and things. The title of this project is a formulation by the composer Agostino Di Scipio, who shaped a system-theoretical view of live electronic music. Di Scipio describes an approach according to which the interactions between components of a system, which can be instruments, microphones or sound processing, always take place in the medium of sound itself.
