Field Recordings, Experiments & Installations

At this years Stadtflucht Festival (Böllerbauer, Haag) I held a workshop on Environmental Listening, Field Recording and Tape Loops while being slightly hungover. The results were played in a six hours long, ever-changing installation of three tape loops of different lenghts and speeds at so-called Knusperhäuschen. The tape loops sometimes got stuck or sucked up in the players and constantly degraded while rubbing against the guiding shaft.

Thanks to all the participants for sticking with it and helping me through the difficulties of that day: Catherine, Verena, Andreas, Daphne, Paul, Johannes, Tobi.

KLUB.MØNTAGE (or K.MØN) is a transdisciplinary research project with a focus on new media, improvisation and electroacoustics – working at the intersection of performance, noise and new circus. It’s built as an interactive, process-oriented format for composition in real time and is hosted by artists Daphne v. Schrader, David Pridal, Francesca Centonze, Joanna Coleman, Markus Liszt and Sandro Nicolussi aka. BYDL. It was founded in 2020 by and at the arts collective Sandkasten Syndikat in Vienna.

Eine Soundcollage aus Aufnahmen der diesjährigen Heuernte des urbanen Agrarkollektivs der LaaerBergBauerInnen. Das Wetzen der Sensen wechselt sich mit den Erntegesängen, Umgebungsgeräuschen wie Fluglärm und dem sanften Tröpfeln der Gießkannen ab. 

A sound collage of recordings of this year's hay harvest of the urban agricultural collective LaaerBergBauerInnen. The sharpening of the scythes alternates with harvest chants, ambient sounds such as aircraft noise and the gentle trickling of watering cans.

Ein Projekt im Rahmen von Common Rooms // FLUCC 2023

Im Rahmen des Projekts Expanded Garden Leopoldstadt werden von 24. September bis 1. Oktober ausgehend vom FLUCC mehrere Mikrolabore zwischen agrar-ökologischen Initiativen, Lern- und Kulturorten an der künstlerischen Schnittstelle zum öffentlichen Raum stattfinden. Eine dreiteilige Erdprozession ermöglicht allen teilnehmenden Orten sich miteinander verbinden zu lassen. Nahrung und neue Bilder werden gesammelt, geteilt, gegessen, verarbeitet und lassen arbeiten. Fermentation, eine Workshop-Konferenz und eine performative Boden-Eröffnung, aber auch gemeinsame Mappings, eine mobile Lochkamera und eine Saatgutbörse werden von einer Solarkantine begleitet. Die Ausstellung reflektiert visuell und installativ über diverse methodische Zugänge dieser situativen Kunstpraxis von Expanded Garden. 

COMMON ROOMS ist der Titel der 2023 neu initiierten »Community-based Art«  Reihe des FLUCC, welche nach einem Open Call von einer Jury ausgewählte Künstler:innen und Kollektive durch partizipative Kunstprojekte mit polydiversen Communities, Nachbarschaften und Schulen rund um den Praterstern und darüber hinaus verbindet.

A project in the framework of Common Rooms // FLUCC 2023

As part of the Expanded Garden Leopoldstadt project, from September 24 to October 1, starting from FLUCC, several micro-labs will take place between agro-ecological initiatives, learning and cultural places at the artistic interface with public space. A three-part earth procession allows all participating sites to connect. Food and new images will be gathered, shared, eaten, processed and let work. Fermentation, a workshop-conference and a performative soil opening, as well as shared mappings, a mobile pinhole camera and a seed exchange are accompanied by a solar canteen. The exhibition reflects visually and installatively on diverse methodological approaches to this situational art practice of Expanded Garden. 

COMMON ROOMS is the title of FLUCC's newly initiated »Community-based Art« series, which connects artists and collectives selected by a jury after an open call with polydiverse communities, neighborhoods and schools around Praterstern and beyond through participatory art projects.

Expanded Garden Leopoldstadt – Heuernte LaaerBergBauerInnen [Common Rooms]

Can there be any silence at all? 

While we were on MØNTAGE CAMP at Urhof 20 in Grünbach am Schneeberg, Lower Austria, S. Nicolussi (@bydl) recorded the last five minutes of "silence" in the big hall before sleeping. The eight recordings in total then were layered on top of each other to form this composition by themselves.

S. Nicolussi - Urhof 4'33"

Recently I attended a tape market hosted by Jeopardize Tapes (@jeopardizetapes) in a venue called Bootleg where I met @p_l_a_u. They run the label Erker and he brought a release that consisted of a j-card with some bootleg instructions; telling people to download a certain clock collection video and dub it to tape. The thing is, the video was just a bit over 20 minutes. As I had only C60 tapes at home and vividly hate empty tape space. Thus, I downloaded three clock collection videos, stretched and edited them a bit to fill one side of a C60 cassette. This is the result, enjoy. 

You can get some more insights on the process in the thread on Mastodon:
