September’s Kamizdat Rentgen will present two upcoming live releases by two of the leading voices in contemporary electroacoustic music, engaging in fields of attentive close listening, of deep, distant listening and immersive experiences of fragmented physical and acoustic spaces, voices, environments and electronic synthetic sounds.
OKA and beepblip will take us into fields of displaced voices, songs and soundscapes, and into the field of rhythmogogy, the random algorithmic rhythms of slime moulds.
Lineup:

OKA
Oka (Eva Mulej Vrabič) is a vocalist, producer, performer and sound artist. Her work ranges between electroacoustic, ambient and experimental music with a focus on the poetics of the voice. She explores the tonal qualities of melodies, words and sounds, using a variety of acoustic instruments, field recordings and objects to create an intimate sound world. Together with Karmen Ponikvar, she also works in the duo Lip Rouge.

BEEPBLIP
Ida Hiršenfelder (beepblip) is a sound artist and archivist making psychogeographical spatial and ambisonic compositions, sound installations and sound walks. Her work primarily explores sound ecology and spatialisation, addressing themes such as the agency of non-organic others, non-human languages, and listening to the inaudible. She is a member of the Jata C group for bioacoustics and sound ecologies, the Clockwork Voltage community for modular synthesis, and the CENSE Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies. Her solo albums were published by the Kamizdat label. She frequently composes for contemporary dance, for which she received the Golden Lightning Award from Bunker Institute for soundscape in the 2023/24 season.
▂ KAMIZDAT RENTGEN ▂
”Kamizdat Rentgen” is a glance under the surface of the skin, a look into the fleshy entwinement of bones, muscles and nerves that shape the heterogeneity of the sound bodies. It is a series of music events organized by Kamizdat to increase the visibility of adventurous music makers who dare to venture into the territories where no one had been before. The events are often closely connected with the label’s new releases.
