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.

Intentional & Random: a festival | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Join us for an evening of music that explores the boundaries of sound and performance.

Beginning at 18:30, the event will open with a collaborative sound installation Quotidian Reminiscence in the garden of Villa for Forest. The sonic positions of the installation are distributed across the outside space, inviting listeners to roam around and encounter dialogues among eight micro-compositions that capture moments of habitual personal contexts. The installation will remain active throughout the entire event, providing an immersive sonic backdrop to three distinctive concerts. At 19:30, the first concert features a new work by Klagenfurt-based composer Bastien Brännland, alongside Matthew Schlomowitz's Letter Piece #5: Northern Cities, for two players performing music, actions, and text; Alban Berg’s 4 Stücke, Op. 5, which delves into virtuosic atonality through extended techniques such as flutter-tonguing and extreme dynamics; and John Zorn’s seminal "game piece" Cobra, where performers shape the music in real time through cues and gestures. The 20:30 concert showcases Julius Eastman's minimalist masterpiece Stay On It – a work by a composer whose brilliant contributions were almost completely lost but have recently achieved high acclaim – paired with Peter Ablinger's noise piece Nanophony for soft sounds and loud amplification. The final concert at 21:30 will conclude the evening with an experimental improvisation designed and performed by a quintet of composer-performers, sympathetically agitated by Christopher A. Williams.

From the opening collaborative sound installation to the final improvisation set, Intentional & Random promises a unique journey through sound, intermedia and performance. Whether you're a seasoned experimental music enthusiast or a curious first-time listener, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore the frontiers of musical expression.

All are welcome!
