[release] Pulsar.scramble vol.3

[release] enunciation | domizil 49

bernd schurer enunciation
domizil 49, 2020
online release

Bernd Schurer’s seventh release on domizil consists of a single piece, which has a duration of just over an hour. The work was composed with SuperCollider and a Nord Modular G1 synthesizer. It is based on recordings of a pentatonic sound and some pizzicati, played on a cello by Tom Withall. The result is a calm ocean of sound, which spreads out over larger time intervals and which is at times dynamized by a few turbulences, where the sound material folds and new, ephemeral figures appear – like paper ships in the swell of an unknown water.

Online release – available on your preferred streaming platform: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, TikTok/Resso, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Napster, iHeartRadio, ClaroMusica, Saavn, Anghami, KKBox, MediaNet and others.

[release] Enunciation 1:08:19

Enunciation 1:08:19 – Soliloquy Synthesis (VI) – Black Box

For string instruments, modular synthesizer, digital delay, 2017 – Stereo Version

A Black Box in cybernetics denotes a complex system that in context can only be observed by outside observation. How to observe Solitude? A state of seclusion or isolation is the base of these revolving systems that understand archives of solitude to be records that have been generated as a product of negative effects in a symbolic sense.

[event] Concave Thoughts – Espace Diaphanes – Berlin

YVES NETZHAMMER: Concave Thoughts

A visual parcours with drawings and animations

BERND SCHURER: +3200 – A sonified reading (installation) & 32 Minutes of scattered pieces (live)

26.01.2017, 19:00

ESPACE DIAPHANES, Dresdener Str. 118, 10999 Berlin

Exhibition opening with book launch, video screening and miniature electroacoustic quadrophonic sound intervention by Bernd Schurer.

The exhibition focuses on Netzhammer’s recent book ‘Concave Thoughts. 357 Digital Drawings’, an artist’s book which exists in an edition of 32 varied front covers and with 3200 permuted sets on 32 printed sheets. The exhibition shows the book as an object, as a pocket universe for reflection, chuckling and musing, and will interrelate the book object with the artist’s animations.

Like Netzhammer’s work in general, the digital drawings shown in the book and in the exhibition, open up to a widely-ramified cosmos of poetic imagery by showing surreal constellations drawn with the utmost precision and clarity. Sometimes these drawings are near to total abstraction, sometimes playful, funny, and nightmarish at the same time. They mix different levels of reality by melding living creatures with machines, intertwining objects and animals, interlocking the human and the object, leading the viewer into the interplay of strangeness and identity, genesis, metamorphosis and resemblance. Last but not least the drawings uncover the contradictions of medially subverted authorship and subjectivity.

Exhibtion: Januar 27th to March 3rd

Regular Opening Hours:

Wed to Fri: 2pm to 6pm

Sat: 11 am to 4pm

https://www.facebook.com/events/226706274404974/

Yves Netzhammer:

Yves Netzhammer, born in 1970, studied Art at the Zurich College of Art and Design. Since 1997, he has been working on a widely ramified, poetic cosmos of imagery. His video installations, objects, slide shows and drawings fascinate through their bodily charisma and their formal clarity. The playful recombination of elements which seemingly can not be combined leads to the threshold of our existence’s dark side: soothing aspects interlock with displeasing ones, the dead melts with the alive into creatures never seen before, and the depicted scenarios run from microscopic to giant scales.

Solo exhibitions include LWL, Münster (2016), Kiev Biennale, Kiev (2015), MONA, Tasmania (2013), Minsheng Art Museum Shanghai (2013), Kunstmuseum Luzern (2011), Kunstmuseum Bern (2010), Palazzo Strozzi (2009), SFMOMA, San Francisco (2008), Venice Biennale (2007), Karlskirche Kassel (supporting program documenta 12, 2007), Museum Rietberg, Zürich (2006), Kunsthalle Bremen (2005) and Helmhaus Zürich (2003). Group exhibitions include Liverpool Biennale (2010), Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2007), Witte de With and TENT, Rotterdam (2006), Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg (2006) and National Gallery Prague (2005). Yves Netzhammer lives and works in Zurich.

Bernd Schurer:

Bernd Schurer’s transdisciplinary artistic focus lies on the work with sound in a broad spectrum of different contexts: a constant shift via research and experimentation, strongly investigating the experiential relationship between sound, science, cognition, space and the (human) body. There is a strong fascination in the study of the perception of sound itself, and there are numerous artistic projects in domains like Algorithmic Computational Art, Psychoacoustics, Electronic Music Composition, Sonification and Audio-Visual Representation Systems. Presentations may come in the form of Computer Music Diffusion to installation work to abstract Sound Art. Some of it has been exhibited internationally on various scales, from micro galleries to public space, from “art at home” to the Venice Art Biennial. Since 1996 he was a co-editor and curator for electronic music works for the domizil.ch label in Zürich, together with Marcus Maeder. He also is active in the domains of sound design and composition for Film and through various curatorial projects. He has been working with Yves Netzhammer on a multitude of projects since almost 15 years.

Bernd Schurer (born 1970 in Zurich, lives in Berlin) studied Philosophy and Film Science at the University of Zurich and Visual Art at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts as well as Electroacoustic Composition and Theory at the Zürich University of the Arts.

About: domizil commenced in 1996 on the initiative of artists Marcus Maeder and Bernd Schurer in Zürich, Switzerland. domizil sees itself as a platform for coordination, presentation, production, interchange and cooperation, focusing on publishing and distributing the work of its network of artists – via record releases, events, installations and electronic music concerts. From its first release, domizil has been poised for an in-depth exploration of digital culture, its sounds,
methods and social context. The aesthetic focus lies on sonic art and all the many facets of this practice today – well beyond genre and definition.

Asmus Tietchens (DE)

Synthesizer experimentalist and musique concrète producer Asmus Tietchens began recording in the mid-‘60s and continued to record three decades after that. Born in 1947 and based in Hamburg, Tietchens listened to German radio as a child and heard pioneering electric transmissions by the likes of Stockhausen and Gottfried Michael Koenig. He began recording his own home experiments in 1965 with crude reverb devices and picked up a MiniMoog several years later. Also influenced by atonal Kraut-rockers like Cluster and Faust, Tietchens met Okko Bekker and began a partnership that lasted for decades (Bekker has produced most of Tietchens‘ work). After Tangerine Dream‘s Peter Baumann heard a tape of his work, he produced Tietchens‘ debut album Nachtstücke, released in 1980 on Sky Records. His four albums for Sky during the early 80s focused on surprisingly accessible electronic pop, though 1984‘s Formen Letzter Hausmusik (recorded for Nurse with Wound‘s United Dairies label) began a period of more abstract, concrète recordings that often use tape experiments as well as synthesizers. During the 90s, Tietchens recorded for experimental labels Barooni, Staalplaat and Syrenia, the latter a 1996 collaboration with Vidna Obmana. Since 1990, he has also taught sound at a Hamburg university.

Ralph Steinbrüchel (CH)

Der Zürcher Musiker und Grafiker Ralph Steinbrüchel (*1969) arbeitet seit vielen Jahren, sowohl musikalisch als auch visuell an der Erschaffung von Texturen und Atmosphären durch stringente Reduktion. Das Aufeinaderschichten minimaler Variationen, deren Schichtungen immer wieder neue Strukturen und Formen ergeben, steht im Zentrum seines Schaffens. Sowohl in der Musik als auch in der visuellen Gestaltung arbeitet Steinbrüchel mit Gestaltungsrastern, minimaler Varianz und bewusstem «Weissraum» (Grafik) bzw. Stille (Musik.) Damit steht sein Werk, geprägt von Reduktion, in bester Tradition der Schweizer Grafik.
Mit zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen und Konzerten hat Steinbrüchel sich im Bereich der elektronischen Musik bereits international einen Namen gemacht. 2002 wurde sein Werk in New York vom Österreichischen Kulturamt mit dem Max Brand Preis für elektronische Musik ausgezeichnet. Er erhielt bisher zwei Kompositionsaufträge der Schweizerischen Kulturstiftung Pro Helvetia. Steinbrüchel veröffentlicht seit 20 Jahren elektronische Musik auf diversen Labels wie zum Beispiel Domizil (CH), 12k (USA), LINE (USA), Room40 (AUS), NVO (A). Zudem wurden einige Kollaborationen mit Bernd Schurer, Frank Bretschneider, Cory Allen und Machinefabriek erarbeitet und veröffentlicht.

Thomas Ankersmit (NL/DE)

(*1979, Leiden, Netherlands) is a sound and installation artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam. Acoustic phenomena such as sound reflections, infrasonic vibration, otoacoustic emissions, and highly directional projections of sound have been an important part of his work since the early 2000’s. His work is also characterized by a deliberate misuse of the equipment, using feedback and disruptions to the signal, and the extremes of frequency and dynamics, to create visceral but finely detailed swarms of sound. Since 2006 his main instrument, both live and in the studio, has been the Serge analogue modular synthesizer.

Daisuke Ishida (JP/DE)

Daisuke Ishida ist ein in Berlin basierter Künstler, der mit Klang und zeitgenössischen Medien arbeitet. Er interessiert sich für die Konsequenzen der künstlerischen Praxis und Theorie in Klang, Raum und Wahrnehmung. Seine multidisziplinären Untersuchungen umschließen Bereiche wie Akustik, Architektur, auditive Wahrnehmung, Computer-Musik und andere verwandte Fachgebiete. Seit dem Jahr 2012 lehrt er an der Universität der Künste Berlin beim UNI.K Studio für Klangkunst und Klangforschung und im Masterstudiengang Sound Studies. 2009 gründete er AUSREIHE, eine unabhängige Organisation, die sich auf experimentelle Elektronische / Computer-Musik spezialisiert hat. Zusammen mit Ken Furudate, Kazuhiro Jo und Mizuki Noguchi rief er 2002 The SINE WAVE ORCHESTRA ins Leben, dass im Jahr 2004 eine Honorary Mention in der Kategorie Digitale Musik des Prix Ars Electronica 2004 gewürdigt wurde und 2009 ein Stipendium der Stiftung Niedersachsen für Medienkunst am Edith-Ruß-Haus erhielt. Daisuke Ishida präsentierte seine künstlerischen Arbeiten bereits bei mehreren internationalen Institutionen und Museen, unter anderen bei Ars Electronica (Östereich), Arsenals of the Latvian National Museum of Art (Lettand), deaf – Dutch Electronic Art Festival (Niederlande), Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst (Deutschland), ICC – InterCommunication Center (Japan), Interferenze New Arts Festival (Italien), International Triennale of Contemporary Art Yokohama (Japan), ISEA – Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (USA), MART – Museum of Art, Rovereto and Trento (Italien), MOT – Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Japan), Singuhr Hoergalerie (Deutschland), SMT – Sendai Mediatheque (Japan), Steim (Niederlande), sowie Transmediale (Deutschland) und YCAM – Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (Japan).

Installation:

Devotionalie

Marcus Maeder, 1996/2016
Sockel, Kassettengerät, Kassette

Devotionalien sind Gegenstände, die der Andacht (lateinisch devotio ‚Hingabe‘, ‚Ehrfurcht‘) und der Förderung der Frömmigkeit dienen sollen. Maeders Installation „Devotionalie“ ist eine Neuinterpretation der urprünglichen Version von 1996, die anlässlich der Ausstellung „Kiss the future“ im Kunstmuseum Luzern ausgestellt wurde. Auf einem goldenen Sockel steht ein Kassettengerät aus den 1970er-Jahren. In dieses eingelegt ist eine Kassette mit elektronischer Musik, die sich mit einem danebenliegenden Kopfhörer hören lässt. Neben dem Gerät liegt weiter die Kassettenhülle, mit einem Bild aus der Agglomeration Zürichs auf seiner Frontseite. Auf der Kassette steht nichts weiter als „domicile edition.“ Während die ursprüngliche Version aus einer auf den Boden aufgemalten runden Fläche bestand, hebt der Sockel nun symbolisch die restlichen Installationkomponenten um 20 Einheiten.
