1. ALEX BUCK   « A revolta dos Xapiri’s »   9’56’’

The name A Revolta dos Xapiris (Xapiri’s rebellion), can serve as an input for the audience’s listening experience. My intention with this work was to amplify the unheard voices of indigenous people, especially those of Yanomami tribes in my home country, Brazil. For them, the Xapiris Spirits are the real owners of nature. This piece is a kind of continuity of a previous composition named Screaming Trees. Both of them are inspired by a book of David Kopenawa, one of nowadays most important indigenous leader in Brazil. When looking for indigenous recordings in the internet, I accidently ran into a recording of David Kopenawa himself, singing in a kind of Xapiri’s ritual. I, then, incorporated some samples of this singing in the work, and it became its main material. All voice sounds are from this particular recording.

Alex Buck (b. 1980) is a performer-composer based in California praised for his “sophistication and originality in his aesthetic goals” (Flo Menezes). His electronic pieces are “masterfully arranged” (Raul da Gama). He “knows how to fill a frame perfectly” (Betzy Bloomberg), creating “a sonic world that both grips and invites, impossible to resist (Vicki Ray).” Buck belongs to a select group of musicians that have their work acknowledged by his peers from both electroacoustic music and jazz realms. Originally from São Paulo (BR), Alex is considered one of the most innovative Brazilian drummers of his generation, with a unique approach towards the instrument.

“An ensemble of time and scene”
In this fixed media piece, the composer organizes and fuses different types of sound materials in the way of scene narration, trying to depict the transformation and intersection between different scenes, showing a story-like “sound picture” Meanwhile, the composer uses the "Micro-montage“ technique proposed by Argentine composer Horacio Vaggione to describe the sound gesture, texture and timbre in the small sound clips. Meticulous sculpture and shaping of timbre make the whole work present the feeling of "Cinema for the Ears".


Junzuo Li, a graduate student in the Department of Composition and Music of the China Conservatory of Music, studied under Professor Ping Jin. he also studied Electroacoustic music composition with Annette Vande Gorne,Jaime Reis and Åke Parmerud . His current research interests and focus on the writing of electroacoustic music and explore the relationship between sound gestures and sound movements. He has won several composition prizes in recent years,such as,the second prize and the third prize of the China computer music composition competition.

Synapse (2020)
Synapse is the fifth work completed as part of the Der Industriepalast suite, and is based upon Fritz Kahn’s infographic titled ‘Is the nervous system an electrical system?” (1939). The infographic represents the function of a synapse – the structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or target cell. In his infographic, Kahn compares the synapse to an electrical generator– highly appropriate given the function of synapses in generating electricity, and transporting it around the body through neurotransmission.

Louise Rossiter is an electroacoustic composer and performer with particular expertise in multi-channel composition, sound diffusion, and interpretation. My research interests lie in expectation, silence and response to visual stimuli in acousmatic music. As a composer, my music has been performed and broadcast around the world and recognised in several international competitions. I have also  undertaken a number of commissions and residencies, periods of study and fieldwork abroad.

Echo is a tragic nymph. She is the nymph that was punished with the curse not to be able to speak her own words but only to be able to repeat the last words spoken from another person. This cruel punishment led to her tragic end. She lost her body and became a spirit existing in all that places spaces that echo back our voices.

Baltazar’s Adventure through the Great Machine 
In early May 2019, composers working in the city of Sheffield recorded sounds in and around the Kelham Island Industrial Museum, using these to create musical works that resonate with the space and place of Kelham Island. In much the same way as one might imagine the transformation of the spaces of heavy industry, such as Brooklyn Works becoming residential accommodation, the ten sound artists transformed the sounds of Kelham Island, giving them a new home. 
This piece imagines the huge machines as if from a child-like fantasy. It follows the journey of fiction character - Baltazar - as he travels into, and through, the greatest machine of all.  Join Baltazar as he journeys through the Great Machine in search of its beating, mechanical heart. As the machine judders and splutters into life, will he avoid the pistons and valves, cogs and bursts of steam?  Warning: contains scenes of mild peril.

For Ozzy, Zac, and Kaia. 


Adam Stanović started composing electronic music some twenty years ago. At that time, early experiments with tape machines and a four-track mini-disc recorder led him discover the potential of recorded sounds, and he quickly started using computers as a tool for music-making. Ever since, Adam has considered the fixed medium as a canvass for his works which, although mostly acousmatic, are sometimes accompanied by instruments, electronics, film, and animation. In all cases, his music explores ways in which both pitch and noise coexist within recorded sound, with musical form often delivering one from the other. Adam’s music has been heard in over 400 festivals and concerts around the world. His works are available on 12 different CDs.
