STUDIO OF UNCONSCIOUS MUSIC—SUM

Alexander Markvart – loops, polivoks, bass, voice & friends (t.b.a.)

SUM  (Studio of Unconscious Music), an experimental project originally from  Siberia, formed in 2007 and has acquired a new line-up in Berlin.  Siberian industrial songs meet Berlin improvised music. SUM works in  genres lik iie jazz-punk, industrial techno, electro-acoustic,  synth-pop, etc. mixing this with a lyrical component—remnants of the  song form: chants, declamations, endless repetitions. At the same time,  SUM music—be it gnostic rave or convulsive raw industrial—remains quite  suitable for dancing.

LOTTIE SEBES
“VERITAS VENTRILOQUIST”

performance  with sewing machines, effects- and sewing machine pedals,  electro-magnetic microphones, talk-box, magnetic tape, found objects
Veritas  Ventriloquist by Lottie Sebes is a performance and sound work which  questions, transforms, and harnesses the historical entanglements of  gender, voice and technology. At the core of this performance is the  Veritas Machine—a noisy, dynamic, woman-machine interface made of  dismantled and reforged sewing machines, re-envisioned as an instrument  and vocal synthesizer. This instrument is a set, an apparatus and a  relational system of technological components which have been  predominantly used by women in history.
