Schaffner‘s “Handkerchief for an Eternity” is many things: An artist’s performance, a séance, a vinyl album, a transgender ‘herstory’, an entry ticket to the pandemic universe of Sneeze Symphonies! “Fazzoletto” places the body and its fleeting expressions at the centre of the audience’s attention, while its subversive humour points to the (still) meagre representation of female and diverse musicians in music history.
Title: Mauricio Pucci (1899-1926) Fazzoletto per un eternità. 
By: Gabi Schaffner. Raw Audio Productions 2020
Compositions and sound recordings: Gabi Schaffner

Lobo / Texas

The earthworm travels on radio frequencies, earthy hacks and conglomerates of audio matter. S/he passes through mosquito clouds (yes, this earthworm can fly!), bird songs, thunderstorms, attends a Finnish summer theatre show, listens to a boy and his mother singing, visits the acoustic remnants of a German garden show, finds happiness in the ringing of porcelain bells and, finally, merges into silence and is gone.

Voices by:
Teuri Haarla, on occasion of his exhibition at Galerie Hilbertraum, January 16, 2016, Berlin, Germany – Unknown but stunningly convincing actors of a “kesäteatteri” in Mid Finland, 2010 – Gibrain and Virpi Nurmi in their garden in Gießen, Germany, 2014.
Teuri Haarla is a Finnish self-taught artist who works with drawings, performance and architecture. For his performances he goes into a state he calls “bio drunk”. He also built the “Plantheon” tower, 17 metres high and based on the geometry of nature.
During the opening we had a talk in which he explained some of this work and philosophy. Find out more at biodrunk.com

“raw audio”  is active within the realm of field recording, radio art, musique concrète and DIY composition.

“raw audio” is a DIY musician and producer. She is much into the aural qualities & possibilities of site-specific work and loves to travel. Concept albums form another important line in her work. Centered around a single poetic idea, they evolve as hybrids between music, fiction and ethnographic writing. 

“raw audio” has been founded in 2002 by Gabi Schaffner.
