soft rotation #12

In the organizer's words:

soft rotation is coming again in 674fm Konzertraum with our excited sets of performance!

soft rotation is a concert series dedicated to sound art, performance and experimental electronic music. Organized collectively by sound enthusiasts, our concerts are built around the idea of rotation, mixing perspectives, mediums and voices in each edition. We offer a platform for audiences and artists who share our commitment to exploration, where experimentation and try-out ideas are encouraged, and the unexpected is welcomed.

We invite you to join us, hang out, and talk with the artists, exchanging knowledge and ideas following each concert.

Desman Des Pyrénées

Desman Des Pyrénées is an electro-acoustic duo with Roberto Beseler Maxwell on clarinet and Edis Luwdig on computer. Edis plays 4-channel electronics with the duo which sends the source material, live sampling of the clarinet and synthesizer, in circular movements around the audience. Both like Anglo-American folk elements.

yyed

Yyed is a sound artist based in Bonn working primarily with field recordings, field non-recordings, gestural non-action, non-gestural action, non-verbal speech, and verbal non-speech.

They will present an insipid collage of bland sound, tedious sound, frustrated sound, sound-in-itself, sound-outside-itself, and (maybe) interesting sound.
