Cona and Kino Šiška invite you to the two-day ZVO.ČI.TI Acousmonium INput festival, which will once again transform the Komuna Hall into an octophonic space celebrating deep, focused, and intense listening. Surrounded by speakers where artists will perform and interpret their original works live, you will be immersed in a pulsating experience and surrendered to a unique sonic journey.
Together with the invited sound artists, curators Brane Zorman and Patrick K.-H will present a selection of referential original electroacoustic compositions, several of which will be performed publicly for the first time.
Participating artists: Diego Losa (FR), Sophie Delafontaine (BE), Patrick K.-H. (RUS/AUT), Maja Osojnik in Christopher Sturmer (SLO/AUT), Armando Balice (FR), Qingqing Teng (FR), Enrique Mendoza (MEX/AUT), Andrej Kobal (SLO), Mauricio Valdes San Emeterio (MEX/AUT), Tetiana Khoroshun (UKR/SLO), Brane Zorman (SLO), Alastair McNeill (US/SLO) and Tilen Leban (SLO).
Diego Losa: Composing and Mastering for Octophonic Sound Systems with GRM Tools Spaces
workshop
17 March, 10.00 –12.00 / Komuna
A particular highlight is the workshop by Diego Losa, who has been a member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (INA-GRM), the leading institution for electroacoustic music, since 1997, and currently serves as project leader for GRM Tools there. In this role, he actively contributes to the development, dissemination, and training of these referential software tools. He is responsible for the digitization of original GRM works, works as a sound engineer and technical assistant for visiting composers at INA, is a professor of sound engineering at Sorbonne (Paris I) and at the EICAR film school, leads the electroacoustic music department at the Saint-Étienne Conservatory, and teaches sound design at both EICAR and INA.
ZVO.ČI.TI Acousmonium is Slovenia’s leading ongoing platform for the development and presentation of spatial sound art. It combines octophonic and acousmatic concerts, commissioned original compositions, workshops, artist residencies, and networking. The curatorial selection includes both pioneers of acousmatic music and contemporary creators, who explore sound using traditional tools as well as the latest methods, technologies, and production processes.
