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!

Autorenlesung | Literatur- und Dichterkreis Klagenfurt | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Der Literatur- und Dichterkreis Klagenfurt wurde vor 23 Jahren gegründet und besteht aktuell aus 13 aktiven Mitgliedern. Der Verein dient der Förderung von literarischen Werken, die von den Vereinsmitgliedern selbst geschaffen wurden.
Diese Förderung spiegelt sich insbesondere in monatlichen Vereinsstammtischen, regelmäßigen Lesungen, sowie in einer gemeinsamen Publikation wieder. Eine der Hauptintentionen des Literatur- und Dichterkreises Klagenfurt liegt dabei darin, LiteratInnen einen Austausch mit anderen LiteratInnen zu ermöglichen und sie bei ihren ersten Schritten in der Öffentlichkeit zu unterstützen. Hierbei legt der Verein auch sehr viel Wert darauf, dass das Vereinsleben stets von einer familiären Atmosphäre geprägt wird.
Im Juni 2025 wurde die aktuelle Anthologie „Freude am Schreiben“ im Eigenverlag herausgegeben, in welcher sich besondere Kostproben aller Autorinnen und Autoren finden.
