Radio B E A N C E L L  ~Halloween Edition~ Pt. 2

物の哀れ- Blossoms Lament 

While I was standing outside of a supermarket under a cherry tree, waiting for my friend to come back outside, I improvised a short song and recorded it on my phone. 

It's been 1 1/2 years since I last published anything on here.
1 1/2 years full of a lot of death, joy, grief, love - impermanence 

I hope this songing soothes you as it does me.
be blessed, be safe

Fire over the Bridge

In Kassel June 2021, minicar driver B. Efe was racially insulted
and then seriously injured with a knife.
B. Efe survived the attack and the incident became the reason for protests that called for attention with car and bicycle demonstrations in the city.

In June 2021 I made sound recordings in my car with my smartphone as part of the demonstration
and a year later, worked with the material as a 15-minute 4.1 sound composition for the final section of my exhibition "All the Way to the Stop" in May 2022.

In 2024 the case is unsolved, the assailant is still free and B. Efe has been twice denied financial compensation after being disabled.

“BODIES OF WATER" (2022)
Live Composition by Cat Woywod
@ Lumbung Cinema, After Cinema # 3, documenta15


Sampling Audio from the Films screened during “After Cinema # 3” 
The live composition echoes the red thread of Azin Feizabadi’s Curation of the Film Programm, which honored Water as the fluid commonalities between humans and environments.

The Sound Publication is a synergy of the isolated Line-In recording and the Field Recording of the Cinema Space during the performance, adding a layer of chance and mutual co-creation with the audience.

Cat Woywod and N.B. Spiders perform collectively under the label "shygender”: 
Fusing  sampled soundscapes with genderfucked vocal modulation, they perform audio productions that electronically revive material by queer and femme electronic music makers of the past millennium and transmute them into monstrous spectral pop tracks.

N.B. Spiders (they/them) @enbyspiders
is a sound & electronics artist whos practice transgresses binary gender constructs and is informed by crip aesthetics. They work in the fields of performance art and composition as well as building electronic instruments and microelectronics programming.

They have realised, performed and presented productions at the Theater Dortmund, IndieCade Festival in Paris, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, and are a residency-alumni with the Alliance of International Production Houses (Bündnis internationaler Produktionshäuser) via HAU Hebbel am Ufer.

Cat Woywod (it/he/they) 
specialized in Sound, Performance, and Light and works as a freelance Artist, Sound Designer, Sound Technician, and Drag Thing.
Its Sound works weave poetic post-apocalyptic environments out of field recordings, voice, and samples - blurring the boundaries of time-space, the somatic and the digital, the artificial and the organic from a cripqueer perspective.

2023 Cat Woywod was awarded the “Kasseler Kunstpreis for Intermedia Art” by Dr. Wolfgang-Zippel-Stiftung and studies as “Meisterschüler” for “Soundart / Composition” under Prof. Kiefer at the Johannes-Gudenberg-University Mainz since 2024.

"Der leise Planet"  by Pascalina Krummenauer and C.Woywod

written, performed and artwork by Pascalina Krummenauer
recordings, sound design and performance by C.Woywod

We are happy to announce the publication of our shared project "Der leise Planet"/"the silent planet".
In March 2019 Pascalina approached me with the idea of recording her written piece about two astronauts and their journey to love and an uncertain future.
It was a pleasure collecting and editing the different sounds needed to give her writing and her performance the deserved soundscape and also to be able to work on a queer sci-fi story to add to the genre.

Much love and thanks

This was a sound piece for Tina Jung's graduation project in December 2018, which was shown as an installation in which her publications and films were exhibited.

My breathy babe, Magic Henrik, is also part of the collective "fvcking conflicts" and had helped me with the recordings for this project.

fvcking conflicts - sound installation 2018

EDIT: Thx for 1000 listens!

In Mid November of 2019, I sat down at the piano that stands around at Kassel's Main station and improvised this song.
I was working at Kasseler Dokfest and was in a constant rush.
Since my left/right coordination is handicapped I struggle to play with both hands but this song just flowed out of me and still brings me a sense of melancholic peace with myself. I am happy I recorded it and can share this moment as my first update in 2020. May this energy bring me through this year.

The Broadcast "Queer Ancestors" is the result of researching lost ancestral voices of queer American and German Musicians in the 1920s-1930s.
For the voices to be more audible I remastered each song and through convulsion reverb, situated the musicians back into places they lived and worked in (Chicago, Vienna, New York, Berlin, etc.) or placed them in venues they didn't have access to, during their lifetime (Concert Halls, Opera Houses, etc.)
Come along on this journey through the past 100 years of LGBTQIA+ History!

List of Songs:
"Das Lila Lied" - Marek Weber
"Taint nobody's Buziness if I do" - Bessie Smith
"Prove it on me" - Ma Rainey
"Worried Blues" - Gladys Bentley
"Someone Else will take your Place" - Alberta Hunter
"Wenn die beste Freundin" - Marlene Dietrich, Margo Lion, Oskar Karlweiss
"Ach wie ich die Lena liebe" -Claire Waldoff
"Hannelore" - Claire Waldoff
"Raus mitn Männern ausm Reichstag" - Claire Waldoff
"Wenn du einmal dein Herz verschenkst"- Lotte Lehmann
"Always"- Josephine Baker

Queer Ancestors - A Pride Month Broadcast

What comes after an apocalypse? who survives it? how?

In light of 2020 ending, a lot of collective grief needed to be expressed.
So I went into my bunker, dreaming of what is to come.

To surpass, heal and learn, one must go through the dark and find new ways of living. There is not one way to do that. This is an attempt.

We will see, hear and feel.

2021 soon.
