Radio Utopia, News from the world (French Pavilion)
The insect vibrational signals we can hear were recorded in different locations in Slovenia during the summers of 2020-2023 and show a fraction of the rich diversity of substrate-borne vibrations that insects create to communicate in a meadow.

Slovenian vibroscapes (Venice Biennale 2023)

These insect substrate-borne vibrations were recorded with laser doppler vibrometers from local plants in a wet meadow located in Gais, Switzerland. Laser vibrometers are able to detect the vibrational signals emitted by insects that travel through the surface of the plants in the meadow. Only two local insects could be identified by the signals they produced, and those were Aphropora major (a froghopper) and Sorhoanus assimilis (a leafhopper). Over 20 different insect signals were documented during the field study. Although their identity can not be revealed yet, we hypothesise that many of these signals belong to the Auchenorryncha suborder of insects, specialised in vibrational communication. The signals, emanating from the vibrational interactions within the local vibroscape, were extracted from 150 hours of recorded material collected over the course of August 8, 9, and 10, 2023. The research of vibroscapes in nature is rather recent and this was the first time that an alpine meadow was recorded.

In collaboration with @tremoneta (Juan José López Díez, National Institute of Biology, Slovenia)

33EMYBW (@wushanmin) is a Shanghai-based musician and a core member of the city’s electronic/experimental scene, known for numerous collaborations and appearances in many local projects. Now affiliated with the @svbkvlt label and appearing as part of their showcase at Unsound, she explores the futuristic sounds of post-club music. This podcast is a live recording of 33EMYBW at ALL, Shanghai, on 7th July 2019. She names this set ‘Trash Set #1’. The whole set is comprised of outtakes, sketches, demos and unused ideas from last years Golem album on SVBKVLT, as well as her upcoming release Anthropods, which will be premiered at Unsound 2019 in Kraków.

Unsound Podcast 54: 33EMYBW - "Trash Set #1"

sound as communication in direct and primal form, a language, a tool of metaphysics, a conscience, a consciousness. works that oppose the omnipresent restriction and reduction of life, to activate primordial shared emotions otherwise hidden under the debris of this crumbling civilisation. inviting rumination, encouraging intervention, endorsing catharsis & environmental e/quality, touching sentience, cleansing. audio de/construction, psycho-acoustics, sound rituals, sonic activism, humanimalism; ritual protest music to heal homo sapiens out of its infancy.

solo works since 1987. 
part of SCHIMPFLUCH-GRUPPE (with Rudolf Eb.er, Joke Lanz, Marc Zeier, Daniel Löwenbrück etc.) since 1991.

projects present and past include OHNE, dead peni, perverts in white shirts, PK, ketsu no ana, fear of god & more;  collaborations with G*Park, Francisco Meirino, Randy Yau, Hiroshi Hasegawa, GX Jupitter-Larsen, Chris Galarreta, Masonna & more; ScHimpfluch Associates label with Rudolf Eb.er etc blablabla
