Magical Sound Machines

9. Juni 2022, 11.00 Uhr Tangible Music Lab und ONLINE

Das Tangible Music Lab lädt zum Gastvortrag von Elisabeth Schimana.

Elisabeth Schimana will talk about her work with the Max Brand Synthesizer, developed by the ingenious inventor Bob Moog for the visionary composer Max Brand in the late 1950s and other sound producing machines from the early days of electro-acoustic music.

She has worked intensively with the theremin in Moscow and with the Max Brand Synthesizer in Vienna. Not only has she created countless radio works in cooperation with ORF Kunstradio but numerous sound installations and interdisciplinary and performative projects as well. Her probing approach also led her to found the IMA Institute of Media Archeology, which has dedicated itself to acoustic media at the analogue/digital interface and to the subject of women, art, and technology since 2005.

Since the 1980s the musician and composer Elisabeth Schimana has been active as one of the Austrian female pioneers of electronic music with projects marked by a radical approach and equally unconventional aesthetics.

In her artistic work, Schimana examines questions of space, communication, or the body in its presence or absence, especially the imparting of compositional concepts (scores), which gives rise to completely new approaches that experimentally explore how we hear and demand a heightened musical presence on the part of the performer.
