*PROJECTS*
*SIRENS: Ryoichi Kurokawa & Novi_sad (Berlin premiere)*
Ryoichi Kurokawa & Novi_sad collaborate to create Sirens, an impressive
body of work comprising five audiovisual pieces which explore the
aesthetics of data. Sirens is a collection of digitally rendered visual
formations and sound compositions, whose intensity fluctuates as in
relation to the unfolding of the economic downturn. Tied to the fate of the
global markets, the more the economy fails (as represented by data and,
indexes); the more developed and complex the coupled sounds and visual
sequences become. Any disintegration of financial fortunes leads directly
to the emergence of a greater creative energy in an inverse ‘tug-of-war’.
Sirens elucidates the relationship between generative visualisation and
cinematic practices, as this computer generated video work transforms our
understanding of the relationship between moving image, data and the
cinematic. By immersing the spectator in an audiovisual scape and
narrative, the work heightens the performativity of processes, be they
‘technological’ or ‘natural’. The title of the work is inspired by the
Greek mythological creatures that seduce sailors ashore into danger, as a
metaphor for market fervour leading to economic collapse.

*APPROXIMATE ACCURACY: Pierce Warnecke & Frank Bretschneider (world
premiere)*
Approximate Accuracy is a hybrid audio-visual performance which borrows
from modular audio and video synthesis techniques, adapting them with
contemporary digital tools. The audio uses custom Nord Modular patches
manipulated live; the imagery is based on digital emulations of modular
video synthesis fed into 3D software and tightly synchronized to the
experimental electronic music. Realtime interaction between sound and video
creates overlapping layers of dynamic patterns resulting in complex
synesthetic moirés.
The open system allows for improvisation while at the same time staying
close to the aesthetics of sound and video synthesis, and as such is an
immersive performance that explores that many possible mutations of simple
pattern-based systems. Approximate Accuracy is a homage to the masterpieces
of early electronic music and video synthesis, combining them with modern
approaches of audiovisual performance as a continuation of the visual music
tradition.

works with amplified environmental recordings, drone manipulations,
structured ambient soundscapes, microtones vs overtones, all come together

*Frank Bretschneider* is a musician, composer and video artist in Berlin.
His work is known for precise sound placement, complex, interwoven rhythm
structures and its minimal, flowing approach. Bretschneider’s subtle and
detailed music is echoed by his visuals: perfect translated realizations of
the qualities found in music within visual phenomena.
In 1986, after establishing his cassette label klangFarBe, Bretschneider
founded AG Geige, an influential East German underground band. In 1996,
Bretschneider co-founded the Rastermusic record label, later raster-noton.
He is releasing his music and performing at music/media festivals worldwide.

*Pierce Warnecke* is a sound and video artist from the US, based in Europe
for over a decade. He works equally in the sonic and visual domains via
performances, installations and compositions. He is currently a professor
at Berklee College of Music in Spain. He has presented his works in many
international festivals and spaces, such as Mutek, KW Institut Berlin, CTM
Festival Berlin, Elektra, NEMO, Scopitone, Zero1 Biennale, Transmediale,
and more. He releases music on Portals Editions and Room40. He is
represented by CTM’s DISK Agency in Berlin.

*SPEKTRUM* is a project space in Neukölln for idealisation, realisation and
exhibition of technology-based artworks, media-focused events and
futuristic utopias based on the principle "do-it-together-with-others". Above
all, we are an open space promoting participatory processes to co-define
and co-design a social and physical playground for curiosity and critical
understanding.
