that there then, not now here past is a bi-weekly joint improvisation
and composition practice. Within the framework of this format, at once sound laboratory and writing workshop, happening and open project, the artists Antonia Alessia Virginia Beeskow, Aran Kleebaur and Chiara Marcassa invite the audience to explore listening within a changing community as an aesthetic experience beyond performative convention.
Collecting, listening to and (mis)using self-made field and voice recordings, found sounds, broken new-media and instruments, bodies, textures, and movements.
With a lo-tolerance for beats and grids, and a hi-tolerance for ambience, noise, rhythm([s]analysis and Other[ly| (sonic) materialities. (Non-)musicianship preferred.
In our sessions we will listen to these sound artefacts, let them affect us, interact transmedially, comment on them, defragment them and combine them into new sound compositions.
Together, from the bottom up, from the bottom down, and for no one but the uncertain us.
Initiated by: Antonia Alessia Virginia Beeskow, Aran Kleebaur, Chiara Marcassa and guests.
All are welcome who feel like experimenting with noises, sound, voice and language.
Registration is not required. Regular attendance is encouraged but not required.

Antonia, Chiara and Aran
Antonia, Chiara and Aran met at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Gießen and have for the most part worked separately from each other so far. What combines their practices is a heightened focus on the performativity of and differing modes of using and displaying sound, sonic media, voice and narration within performative and theatrical settings – looking for experimental ways to open up the field to a more auditive rather than predominantly visual experience and awareness, with subtle affirmation.
As with many sound practitioners over the last few years, they have also all started to develop a growing interest in the recording and enhancing of moments, soundscapes and chance encounters from the everyday. Their shared practice is focussing on these artefacts. During the festival there will be a homepage and posters spread to share ideas and get in contact. There will be no instagram.
