22.03.2023 / 20.00 Uhr / Bar Rhiz, U-Bahnbogen 37, 1080 Wien
Zosia Hołubowska presents „SINGING WARMIA“
„Singing Warmia“ is an attempt to deal with the lack of family archives and the inability to establish a relationship with the place of birth.
Instead of family stories, the album’s material is photos of the artist’s favorite places around Olsztyn (capital city of Warmia region), which were sonified using processes designed by the artists. The bends of the Łyna become the signals controlling the synthesizers. The arrangement of tree branches is translated into a melody, and the splashes of light on the waves of the river constitute a harmonic spectrum of sounds resembling the whispers and wailing of phantoms.

Ybalferran presents „KARADI“
Moving on from the fairly slow-paced timeline conventionally associated with the genres of his choice, on Karadi Ybalferran takes a step towards the more erratic organization of deconstructed genres of contemporary electronics.
Karadi weaves abundant visions designed to evoke the state of uncanniness and nostalgia for one’s own native land.

Alongside the his long activity in experimental music, he produces media art installations and writes on the intersection of art and technology.
