Programme: Bernhard Living Eden Grey  Hanzo Schwarz and Pascal Savy Iveta Sedlakova and Lucie Stepankova (aka Avsluta) Bernhard Living’s Composition 2014.01 (Untitled) was produced digitally – and consists of multiple ‘sound lines’ – formed with either sinewave-based tones or distorted noise – that slowly fade in and out of the sound mix – with glacial movement across the stereo field. One of the lines consists of a Shepard Tone – which gives the illusion of the music rising in pitch. The accompanying video consists of five photographs from an apartment in Southampton – and like the sounds in the music – the images slowly cross-dissolve into each other. Both music and images are ‘things-in-themselves’ – and so make no allusion to either allegory or metaphor. Eden Grey will present a live improvisational performance of experimental music using her modular synthesiser and the Elektron RYTM. Since 2016, Hanzo Schwarz and Pascal Savy have been creating a rich body of audio-visual work combining sound and images at the intersection of minimalism and psychedelia, presented either live or in the context of virtual concerts. For this Corpora Aliena event, they will present ‘Signals’, a new piece themed around the speculative cosmic idea of the so-called ‘black hole era’. According to scientists, at some point in the far future, all the matter in the universe will eventually evaporate away and be carried out into the void as radiation, leaving absolutely nothing behind but electromagnetic waves and black holes. The course of this journey steers us into the unknown, but as the universe expands, we  also continue to evolve. Our thirst for exploration will help us set a path for creating new futures, a path that will always find its way, even in the deepest layers of time and space. ‘Ebb ~ Flow’ is a collaborative project between multi-media documentary practitioner Iveta Sedlakova and sound artist and performer Lucie Stepankova (aka Avsluta). They will examine tensions between feelings of separation and intimacy through the lens of the individual’s relation to their lived environments. The work will materialise as an audio-visual experience acting as a catalyst for emotional engagement with the contemplated motifs.
