Koncept: Tengal (Manila, Filipini)

Gangan Ensemble je odprta igra gibljive slike in zvoka, ki raziskuje situacijski potencial žive improvizacije, saj se osredotoča na neposredno izkušnjo, riskiranje in medosebno interakcijo med performerji, občinstvom in prostorom. Je poskus združitve različnih oblik improvizacijskih tehnik interakcije med video performerji in glasbeniki ter interaktivnega jezika v celovit modularni sistem.
Gre za kompozicijo z velikimi razponi praznega prostora v katero se interaktivno vključujejo zvočni in vizualni umetniki. Princip interakcije sloni na grafičnem zapisu, ki jo beleži in hkrati vodi igralce z naborom vizualnih ključev in pripadajočih pravil s katerimi se performerji igrajo znotraj časovnih omejitev, ki jih določa sistem ali ansambel sam.

Vstopnine ni!

--

The Gangan Series is an open-ended system that combines the interplay of sound and moving image (video, etc), and emphasizes the situational potential of live improvisatory performance of video and sound artists, by putting the focus on direct experience, risk-taking and intra-personal interaction within the space and audience in a collective sense. Every Gangan Ensemble performance is unique on its own since each performance is built upon a variety of reconstructed / reconstituted ideas and structures collected from a collaborative effort of the group and the performance in the past. For this performance, we exhausted all the possible combinations of a quartet and came up with 15 sections whose duration are randomly chosen by a computer.

This Thursday, the Gangan Ensemble Ljubljana will be the first performance of this series in Europe.

Biography:
The Gangan Ensemble is loosely composed of improvisers who work on both sound and moving image and was created to explore the intricately different kinds of interaction and ways of harnessing sound/energy/musicianship alongside moving images. The evolving participation involves a variety of video-performance artists to electro-acoustic musicians hailing from the Philippines, Singapore, USA, Germany, Australia, UK, Malaysia, and Indonesia since its incarnation in 2007. The ensemble has performed in various countries in South East Asia, notably in NCCA's Sinemusikalye in Manila, in Choppa 2008 in Singapore, in the Cellsbutton Media Art Festival in Indonesia, and recently with electro-acoustic composer Chris Brown in Manila. Gangan Ensemble Ljubljana will be the first performance in Europe. It was founded by intermedia artist Tengal with video artist Tad Ermitano.

Tengal is a Manila-based interdisciplinary media artist, composer-musician, curator-producer, and filmmaker. His work puts the focus on direct experience, risk-taking and personal interaction between artists and audience, and emphasizes the situational potential of live performance, the interplay of various media – sound and image, in particular – and candid exchange between sub-cultural and academic initiatives.
In 2005, he founded SABAW Media Art Kitchen – a not-for-profit, artist-run umbrella organization and network platform for all kinds of information and communication carried via modern electronic media art focused specially in the region of South East Asia. Since then, SABAW has been producing concerts, workshops, inter-artist dialogues and forums, music albums, festivals for new media art, and experimental music and live cinema performances -- most notably "Sinemusikalye", a 50-feet audio-video installation-street-concert for the National Arts Month of The National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA) in the Philippines; "Transmissions Gangan", an audio-video performance for 5 radio channels on an interactive space with California electro-acoustic composer Chris Brown; "Fete dela Wasaque -- festival for outerfringe art", and most recently "ASEUM.09: Asia-Europe New Media Art Symposium" and "EAR2EYE: festival for cutting-edge music and moving image."

Sound Performance at KIBLA (Slovenia) (Nov.2)

OPEN SOUND LAB
MMC Kibla, ponedeljek, 2.11.2009, ob 19.00

TENGAL - medijski umetnik
SABAW - realno virtualna organizacija posameznikov, kolektivov in institucij
MARKO BATISTA - umetnik, mešani mediji
ANA PEČAR - intermedijska umetnica

Open Sound Lab vas vabi na razmislek o vlogi publike v procesu umetniškega ustvarjanja. Pričakujete lahko koprodukcijski eksperimentalni avdio-video nastop Tengala (Manila, Filipini), Marka Batiste (Ljubljana, Slovenija) in Ane Pečar (Maribor, Slovenija). Združeni v Open Sound Lab odpirajo kreativne prostore občinstvu ter na ta način vzpostavljajo pogajalski moment v okviru kreativnih procesov, strategij sodelovanja in interakcije, metod upodabljanja in predstavljanja kompozicij elektronske glasbe in video transmisije.

Trojka umetnikov vas vljudno vabi, še posebej, če ste akcija-heroj-film tip, saj boste priča pravemu troboju znotraj umetniške kolaborativne prezentacije.


Dogodek se bo zgodil v okviru projekta X-OP, ki trenutno gosti Tengala, rezidenčnega umetnika iz Filipinov.
X-OP - Izmenjava operaterjev in producentov umetnosti, je postopoma rastoče omrežje umetnikov, raziskovalcev, operaterjev, producentov in centrov, s katerim želimo vzpostaviti Evropsko platformo za ustvarjanje umetnosti in izmenjavo. S svojimi lokacijami, prostori in uporabnikom prilagojeno tehnološko infrastrukturo spodbuja mobilnost umetnikov, teoretikov in vodstva. Projekt je zasnovan tako, da krepi vseevropsko sodelovanje, skupno produkcijo in interdisciplinarni pristop k umetnosti.
X-OP je večletni projekt, traja od 2008 do 2011 in je podprt s strani Evropske komisije – Program Kultura ter Ministrstva za kulturo RS in Mestne občine Maribor.



Marko Batista je slovenski multimedijski ustvarjalec, ki je svoje eksperimentiranje z digitalnimi zvoki začel kot član skupine Klon:Art:Resistance. Njegova zvočna dela se predvsem osredotočajo na dislocirane zvočne zapise, tehnologijo, mrežne sisteme, hibridne signale ter digitano procesiranje. Veliko se ukvarja z živim sintetiziranjem zvoka na raznih festivalih in sodeluje z različnimi avtorji eksperimentalne glasbe. Na pobudo tandema son:Da so v Moderni galeriji in festivalu Pixxelpoint izvedli projekt ‘Kompozicija za film’ na katerem so sodelovali tudi Samo Salomon, Luka Prinčič, Miha Ciglar, Samo Pečar in BorisŠaletić.
http://www.project-data.info/

Ana Pečar (1977) - Deluje in živi na križišču novih tehnologij in starih religij. Njeno delo stoji na temeljih goste in čvrste dediščine učenosti ter plasteh neresnične resničnosti. V njenem delovnem območju so video umetnost, intermedijski plesni performansi in audiovizualne instalacije v dialogu s specifičnimi prostori. V montaži zvoka in slike sledi ritmu, pulzu časa. Anina namenska metoda je vzporedno delovanje v več skupinah. Zaprisežena je: Digitalni komuni (igri plesalke in tehnologije), Traku 47 (multimedijskemu kolektivu, delujočem na področjih računalniško proizvedene glasbe, akustičnih zvokov, slikanja v živo, videa in javne provokacije), BBM (skupina s sedežem v Berlinu, specializirana za razvoj prototipov umetniških pripomočkov novih tehnologij in medijskih umetniških predmetov, kot so roboti, video zidovi, stroji za produciranje videa in zvoka), Byzantine Cadillacu (avdio-vizualnemu kabaretu) in SO0GLEDom (novi produkcijski enoti, samoorganizirani skupini samostojnih avtorjev, izhajajočih iz različnih umetniških področij, kuratorstva, producentstva, teorije in kritike, novinarstva).

RIP MARYANNE AMACHER (February 25, 1943 – October 22, 2009)

Sad sad news for the sonic world!

Maryanne Amacher was known for her installations, which caused listeners to question the nature of sound and the effects it has on the brain. "She worked extensively with the physiological (not psychoacoustic) phenomenon called otoacoustic emission, in which the ears themselves act as sound generating devices." [Wikipedia.org]

Below is a video clip from the unreleased 2005 short film called Daytrip Maryanne - a collaboration between Maryanne and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon.



I still listen to your composition TEO! (Sound Characters 2) at the most quiet time at night, lying down, finishing it before sleeping. We shall miss you!

These were the last words I ever heard from Nika and Alexis. We both pretty much shut down the computer and left the house for dinner that time. They came home too early while the robbery was taking place. Gunshots were heard around 10 or 11pm.
I arrived around 1 am at their house when I heard the news; and waited until their bodies were taken.
