John Wall is a London-based electroacoustic composer and now improviser whose contribution to the field is widely noted by critics of new music. His work has moved from early plunderphonic compositions to large scale works composed of thousands of tiny fragments which create the impression of virtual orchestras. His releases sound like the most finely crafted audio sculptures, somewhere between the contemporary composition of Lachenmann and the experiments of the early laptop musicians of the mid 90s.

Geoff Mullen is a lifelong guitarist and sonic manipulator whose recent work has focused on chance procedure, improvisation, personal history/games of memory, and ambient music. Through electro-acoustic means, his music aims to transform everyday realities into scenes for artistic exploration – re-imagining the natural world as well as domestic/social environments as a stage for musical action. Currently living in Providence, RI, he has founded the label Rare Youth, dedicated to documenting experimental/outsider music from New England.

Screenings:

ELECTRA, TEXAS 2008
Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Thomas Nordanstad – 24:44 min.
Electra is a small, sleepy town with an almost deserted town center, yet around it the pumpjacks are bringing up the last remaining drops of black gold in the area. The procedure is the same as in the heydays, before the depression, when more than 5000 wells and pumpjacks going up and down could be seen in the fields. Shot in the north of Texas close to the Red River, in a long, panoramic shots and edited with a slow, bluesy soundtrack, Electra, Texas 2008, completes a cycle of three individual films “Hashima, Japan, 2002” and “Al Qasr, Bahriyah Oasis, Egypt 2005”, result of the collaboration between the artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff and the filmmaker Thomas Nordanstad. Over the last decade von Hausswolff and Nordanstad have been collaborating on a series of films documenting post industrial locations, places that were once looked upon as glorious examples of mans ability to develop earths natural recourses. Today these same sites appear as ghost towns, exploited and drained of the wealth that once surrounded them.
We believe that there is a beauty in just watching life take place. We try to let the time in the scenes we shoot act as a metaphor for time passing also in the viewers contemplation, and we hope to make these kind of “documentary films” as tributes to the people who were and still are creating these societies. CM von Hausswolff

THE GARDEN John Duncan and Valerio Tricoli 2006 – 20 min.
Produced by John Duncan
The Garden is based on the audio installation with Valerio Tricoli which was included in the 2006 edition of Eco e Narciso held at the IPCA Ecomuseum in the province of Turin, a deserted factory complex once infamous for production methods that directly caused the deaths of several thousand workers as well as hundreds of residents of the surrounding area. The town of Cirié acquired the former IPCA Interchim site and undertook the difficult task of reclaiming and reconstructing the area, without however obliterating the historical memory of the site. On the contrary, steps where taken to ensure that it was turned into a place for remembrance, admonition and monitoring, in order to never let people go to work unaware of going daily towards their deaths.

DREAM HOUSE — RAGE ROOM John Duncan 2010 – 12:54 min.
Produced by Gallery Niklas Belenius
Making-of video for the installation shown at Gallery Niklas Belenius, Stockholm. RAGE ROOM, part of the DREAM HOUSE, is designed to embody or evoke a particular state of consciousness, set in an area of the building that corresponds to its known or suspected location in the brain.

Since 1992, ERIKM has extended the field of artistic experimentation on the international scene. Maintaining a constant fusion between thought, instinct and sensitivity, he pursues a simultaneity of practices and addresses the interplay between various compositional modes, relating to and using all languages. From his early experience as a guitarist through to his later visual work, he is a maverick genre-bender who breaks down anyone’s attempts to conveniently classify him.
Quickly recognised as a virtuoso turntablist and sound artist (1996), eRikm has made a longlife habit of crossing all territories and « world-systems » deemed “independent”, “institutional”.

Throughout his career, collaborations have naturally occurred with his audiences and contemporaries, most notably : Luc Ferrari, Christian Marclay, Akosh S., Mathilde Monnier, Bernard Stiegler, FM Einheit… The kind of coincidences which have confirmed his instinctive search for transmutation, and to play on several levels. eRikm is a Marseille based artist (Friche Belle de Mai)
