Mittwoch, 8. Juni

WOLFGANG FUCHS (AT) &
VERONIKA MAYER (AT) &
LALE RODGARKIA-DARA (AT) &
LUIS CONDE (AR)

Der Hauptanlass für diesen musikalischen Abend ist die Veröffentlichung einer Schallplatte, die aus einer Aufnahme-Session des argentinischen Saxophonisten und Klarinettisten Luis Conde mit dem österreichischen Klangkünstler Wolfgang Fuchs in Buenos Aires im Vorjahr hervorgegangen ist.

Den Grundstein für diesen transatlantischen Austausch legte Lale Rodgarkia-Dara nach einer eigenen künstlerischen Südamerikareise zusammen mit Veronika Mayer. Sie initiierte eine Residency für eine/n österreichische/n MusikerIn im Feld der Sonic Art in Buenos Aires. Der Ball wurde in Folge Wolfgang Fuchs zugespielt.

Im Fluc werden nun diese einzelnen Stränge zu einem abendfüllenden Programm zusammengeführt. Luis Conde schickt live aus dem Studio des Freien Radio La Tribu/Buenos Aires ein Saxophonsolo über den Atlantik an den Praterstern. Die beiden Klangaktivistinnen Veronika Mayer und Lale Rodgarkia-Dara tauchen mit uns ein in ihre Klangsphäre im Spannungsfeld zwischen Feldforschung und -aufnahme, Echtzeitmusik und Spektromorphologie. Condes Schallplattenkollege Wolfgang Fuchs wird die Turntables und die Werbetrommel für den auf Moozak Records erscheinenden Rundling auf seine Weise ankurbeln.

FJÓLA EVANS (IS/CN)

Toronto-based cellist and composer Fjóla Evans will be performing a set of her original music for cello and electronics. Based on her love of Icelandic folk-song and drones, her music explores looping white-noise, archival samples and field recordings, to build twitching minimal soundscapes. She will be performing pieces inspired by her study of Icelandic Rímur, a type of intonement of skaldic poetry.

Fjóla Evans, a composer and cellist originally from Reykjavík, Iceland, writes both electronic and acoustic music. Commissions and performances have come from ensembles such as the JACK Quartet, Contemporaneous, Bearthoven trio, and Architek Percussion. Her work has been featured on the MATA Festival, Ung Nordisk Musik, and the American Composers Orchestra’s SONiC Festival. Current projects include commissions from Viðarneisti duo, Bang on a Can All-Stars pianist Vicky Chow, and an evening length work for cello and electronics based on Icelandic folk song.

As a performer, she has presented her own work at the Cluster Festival of New Music, núna (now), and at Toronto’s the Music Gallery. She has performed with ensembles such as Hotel Elefant, singer/producer Lydia Ainsworth, and Bing & Ruth. A graduate of McGill University where she studied with cellist Matt Haimovitz, Fjóla recently completed her master’s degree in composition with Prof. Julia Wolfe at NYU Steinhardt. Fjóla was the winner of GroundSwell’s Emerging Canadian Composers Competition, and recently collaborated with instrument maker Merche Blasco on a piece for three sopranos and theremin orchestra. She has participated in the Bang on a Can contemporary music festival in Massachusetts, both as a composer and as a cellist, in the Soundstreams 2016 Emerging Composer Workshop studying with mentor composer Steve Reich, and has attended residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, KulturKontakt Austria, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center, and the Old School Arthouse in Hrísey, Iceland. Her work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the SOCAN Foundation. Fjóla will be pursuing graduate studies in composition at the Yale School of Music starting in the fall of 2016.
