EricM - Electronics
Isabelle Duthoit - Voice

Eintritt: € 22 | € 11

Isabelle Duthoit develops a singular and personal voice technique. Her singing is rooted in the breath, the rustle, the glow; it opens up radically new horizons.

ErikM, through electronic devices, treats sounds like living organisms:
in perpetual mutation, exposed to the risk of accident as well as to that of unison. We leave you below a link for the sound.

Sun-Dog drifts between a form of static and restless ambient.
This album evokes a „rubbed“ music which is perfectly represented by the cover of their first CD Le col des Tempêtes. Yves Poliart

SUN DOG

Hof, Iceland
Overlooking the Black Desert
looking westward
two distinct suns are jealous of each other in the sky
SunDog
The elder sun is misted in a cold yellow
its heir is greenish-grey
In the north, the Vatnajökull glacier spews its waters in the carbon vastness as far as the ocean.
Multiple shafts of light pierce the clouds.

Mont Ventoux, France
Climbing the Kilimanjaro of Provence, Isabelle and I walked
the immaculate rocky terrain.
In cowboy boots and sneakers, we wander between the snow patches drunk on mistral, up to the ridge.

Beyond the Dome of the Storms, we reach the pass.
After climbing this modest 1909 metres, we descend on the partially-icy asphalt. The setting sun casts on the summit rare silhouettes of pine trees
shaped by the wind.
The sea of clouds at our feet reminds me of the past experience of the SunDog.

This climb was the beginning of our meeting at the M!lieu, in the village of Sault, between the sky, the stones, and the wind.

These new wanderings with vocalist Isabelle Duthoit, echo previous journeys I have made with Phil Minton, Catherine Jauniaux, Natacha Muslera or Dalila Khatir.

ErikM is a French musician, composer and visual artist.

Since his first experience in the plastic and visual arts, ErikM takes the risk to escape any attempt of hasty categorization. Very quickly considered as a virtuoso of electronic devices and sound arts (1994), he crosses the worlds-systems called „independent“, „institutional“ and territories (France – International). He develops an openly prospective approach of the technological medium. He conceives acousmatic works or composes mixed music for instrumental ensembles (Ensemble Inter contemporain, Laborintus, Phoenix Basel, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, Dedalus…). He has collaborated with Luc Ferrari, Jean-Luc Nancy, Christian Marclay, Thurston Moore, Bernard Stiegler, Mathilde Monnier, FM Einheit… and creates transversal works that constitute a singular kaleidoscopic vision and put in tension the intimate and the political, the popular and the learned.

Pareidolie – Da war doch etwas | Vernissage | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Warum sehen wir Gesichter in einem Stück Stoff? Warum wird aus einem Schatten plötzlich eine Gestalt? Und wann scheint ein Bild mehr zu zeigen, als tatsächlich da ist?
Die Ausstellung versammelt Fotografien, die mit Licht, Bewegung und Perspektive spielen. Sie lädt dazu ein, genauer hinzusehen – und den eigenen Wahrnehmungen zu misstrauen.
Vielleicht zeigen die Arbeiten etwas. Vielleicht entsteht die Geschichte dazu erst in unserem Kopf.
Das Spannende liegt oft genau dazwischen.

Tanja Ruß studierte Medienkultur- und Kunsttheorien in Linz und lebt heute in Berlin. Ihre Arbeiten sind inspiriert vom psychologischen Phänomen der Pareidolie – der menschlichen Tendenz, in Zufälligem Formen, Gesichter und Geschichten zu erkennen.

In memoriam Dietmar Kaufmann (1941-2025)

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Konzert des Hortus Musicus und des Carinthia Saxophon-Quartetts

Der im September 2025 verstorbene Komponist Dieter Kaufmann wäre am 22. April dieses Jahres
85 Jahre alt geworden. Das Konzert ist dem Werk dieses bis zum Schluss seines Lebens
schöpferischen Künstlers gewidmet. Kaufmann war seit seiner Oper „Volksoper“ im Jahr 1984
steter musikalischer Begleiter des Hortus Musicus und hat eine Unzahl von Werken für dieses
Ensemble geschrieben. Ähnliches gilt für das Carinthia Saxophon-Quartett, das eine Reihe von
Quartetten und Solostücken von Kaufmann uraufgeführt hat. Der Abend bringt zudem zwei Werke,
in dem beide Ensembles gemeinsam musizieren.
