	BOTH MORE AND LESS THAN ITSELF is a new collaborative project that grows out of a dense network of previous collaborations, with shared projects between the members setting the ground for new connections. 

The previously existing constellations have developed their own aesthetics and practices over time, with distinctive sound worlds and methods of interaction. These accumulated experiences and memories are brought into the sextet. The project is not simply a meeting of six individuals but also of the ensembles and histories they bring into the collective.

The ensemble has a wide instrumental range, with setups moving between acoustic sources, experimental amplification, electronics and preparations. With this, they will develop a 60–80 minute set during a residency at Studioboerne45. A variety of collaborative strategies will be put into practice, using improvisation, different forms of notation or any other means necessary.

Emilie Škrijelj explores
the accordion in its smallest folds and uses it both as a percussion
instrument and a generator of electroacoustic materials. Inspired by
her research around the turntable, modular synths and field
recording, she brings the accordion to the abstract territory of
electronics by manipulating the bellows, rubbing its contours and
exploring its extremities.

Abdelnour, Biliana Voutchkova, Xavier Charles, Mike Ladd…

The project REC-DISORDER explores the use of recorded sound in live performance. It proposes the creation and performance of four solo pieces to be composed and performed by Peter Cusack, Hanna Hartman, Felicity Mangan and Matthias Koole. 

The project questions the role of recorded sound in relation to the physicality of the sound sources, the devices responsible for their transformation and reproduction, and the performers who record and perform.

Each solo piece will take a different perspective on recorded sound as a sonic, subjective, informative and imaginative tool in a performative environment. 

In Cusack's approach, sound offers the possibility of perceiving other, unfamiliar places through a sensibility different from the visual and logocentric. In Hartman's work, the abstraction of sound gives way to the free association of disparate objects. In Mangan’s work, the recordings are transformed into “a quasi-bioacoustic music” with lots of attention to the rhythmic qualities. In Koole's work, the physical presence and performance of the performer merges with the spatiality of the recording.

With these four different approaches, the project proposes a multi-layered concert with different sensitive approaches to recorded sound in performance, reflecting on how disembodied and reembodied sound and performance can make us perceive materiality differently.

Buck
Passing - Installation.


Institute for Certified Nomadic Illicit Sonic Practices (Matthias Koole 
&#38;amp; Marina Cyrino) together with the poet/performer Angélica Freitas 
and the film director/video artist Sina Ataeian Dena present the 
installation version of their new interdisciplinary collective creation.
The project »Buck-Passing« is both a sound-theatre performance and a 
multimedia installation. The artists combine instrumental techniques, 
refined satire and critical use of chroma keying to address the 
intertwining of global north and south in producing criminal 
environmental disasters. They are interested in performing - and 
intervening in patterns of attribution of blame, also known in English 
as »buck-passing«. These are strategies to postpone responsibilities, 
which aim to make the crimes fall into oblivion, hinder investigations, 
and deviate from the essential: the care and protection of human and 
other-than-human life.
The sound theatre performance was recorded in April at Morphine Raum and
 is the basis for the installation they present at Labor Neunzehn.
The installation goes from 30.08-02.09 from 2 pm -6 pm.The artists will do a talk during the finissage on September 02 at 8 pm.
