André Gurgel
André Gurgel é um compositor e improvisador brasiliense que desde os anos 90 atua em diversos projetos musicais. Dentre eles se destaca o grupo instrumental Protofonia, onde atualmente Gurgel toca baixo, teclados e violão. Considerada uma das principais bandas experimentais de Brasília, já lançaram três discos sendo dois em vinil, além de algumas trilhas sonoras para cinema e teatro.
Em 2020 com o surgimento da pandemia, o Protofonia teve que dar uma parada nas atividades. Para não enlouquecer mais ainda, Gurgel deu início a uma série de improvisações livres gravada em sua casa chamada Improvisão. Essa série o motivou a gravar o que seria seu primeiro disco solo, Um Pássaro Velho e Meditativo. Também gravado em casa, o disco foi lançado virtualmente sob o selo Torto Discos. Em 2021 lançou pelo selo The Church of Noisy Goat, seu segundo disco, Sob o Silêncio da Existência, uma profunda imersão na mente de quem "escuta". Depois foi a vez de Nas Imediações do Não-Ser os Semáforos Estão Sempre no Azul, solo de baixo, lançado pelo selo Música de Ruído. E em seguida lançou Escola de Mistérios, violão solo.
Atualmente continua compondo e gravando, sozinho e com o Protofonia, sempre na linha da improvisação livre, da música instrumental, experimental, e também no rock progressivo com o projeto Grande Unidade.
Improvisação livre captada por celular dentro de um quarto sobre a manipulação de áudios pré gravados de baleia, teclados e baixo elétrico.

Jacek Chmiel & Lara Süß
MEANDERTALE
Jacek Chmiel: Electronics, synthsizer, objects, zither.
Lara Süß: Voice, objects
Jacek Chmiel & Lara Süß are the collective Meandertale. The two started collaborating in 2019. They are both musicians and visual artists alike and are looking for different artistic forms to express themselves. Mainly, they concentrated on a musical collaboration with special focus on the conscious perception of silence and its framing using minimalistic sounds. They work sensitively with sound fusion, differentiation, as well as with the structuring of time and timelessness. Because of their alternate biographical experiences, the artistic expression they are creating becomes alive.
Biographies:
Lara Süß works with different art forms. She studied music and movement. She is a vocalist, a classical singer and a free improviser and used to perform as an actress as well. Currently, she is a member of different ensembles, such as the poetry ensemble StimmSpiel, and she develops her own music theatre pieces. She performed in many European cities, e.g. Copenhagen, Berlin, Hamburg, Basel, Vienna and Brussels.
Jacek Chmiel is a sound artist, field recordist and improviser playing synthesizers, zither, electronics, singing bowls and objects. His deepest interest in sound is to look for new ways to embed all the possibilities of an ever changing electro-acoustic setup in order to reinvent his way of thinking at every second. Being connected to the time, space and layers created by all the sounds he produces, both as a physical fact and abstract peculiarities, he delivers a strong, yet delicate and touching, musicality. He graduated with an MA degree in jazz guitar, which was followed by living two years in Nepal, where he was the head of the guitar department in Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory. Then he moved to Switzerland and graduated with a MA degree in improvisation in Musik Akademie of Basel studying with Andrea Neumann, Alfred Zimmerlin and Fred Frith.

Our multi-species festival this year will be held in Osttirol, Austria, in the hospitable Spa Hotel ZEDERN KLANG ****Superoir
Briefly about the festival Noumen ART - Osttirol’2022
The most beautiful sound after the silence of the Norwegian fjords and the mysterious voices of the Amazonian jungle, psychedelic mirages brought with the air from the distant Central Asian steppes and the singing of the waters of the Ganges in a trance, the primordial nature of shamanic rituals and the bewitching static Japanese buto dance, more readings of anti-utopias, plunging into eschatological gnosis - all it will become that new incomprehensible reality for four unforgettable days, in which it will be impossible to believe for a long time. And, of course, all these four days are daily parties and after-parties in the company of outstanding figures of modern culture and constant co-working, giving birth to new unexpected collaborations before our eyes
Der Klang nach der Stille der norwegischen Fjorde und den mysteriösen Stimmen des Amazonas-Dschungels, psychedelischen Luftspiegelungen aus den fernen zentralasiatischen Steppen und dem Trance-Gesang des Ganges-Wassers, der ursprünglichen Natur schamanischer Rituale und der betörenden statischen Qualität des japanischen Buto-Tanzes, sowie das Lesen von Anti-Utopien, das Eintauchen in eschatologische Gnosis - all dies wird für vier unvergessliche Tage zu einer neuen Realität, die für eine lange Zeit nachwirken wird. An allen vier Tage gibt tägliche Partys und After-Partys. Im Rahmen des Festivals wird es auch zu neuen und spontanen Zusammenarbeit der Musiker kommen, die sich auf unerwartete Kooperationen und Improvisationen einlassen werden

Shock Lines | improfe.stream
Refract: Cello and Glass
Refract: Cello and Glass by Sydney-based experimental trio Shock Lines involves glass sculptures made by Caitlin Dubler that are sonically activated by percussionist Niki Johnson, performing with Natasha Dubler on cello.
Through an experimental process of fusing glass and Hawkesbury sandstone, Caitlin’s work engages with the geological nature of glass and its ancient histories of pyrotechnical play. The unpredictable kiln firing process reveals gritty textures and iron oxide hues embedded within the glass and stone. Sonically this opens a rich palette of sounds - crunching, scraping, ringing. Responding to a provocation of sculpture as a site of material transformation, Natasha and Niki unfold a series of conversations refracted through the sound and materiality of glass.
This studio recording was filmed on Gadigal land at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
Bios
Shock Lines is an experimental collaboration bridging live music performance, small sculpture, and art installation. The group includes glass artist Caitlin Dubler, sound artist & cellist Natasha Dubler and percussionist Niki Johnson. Shock Lines brings three distinctive understandings of material, transformation and gesture into dialogue through each artist’s respective craft. By mutually challenging the strict conventions of each individual practice the collaboration opens new avenues for play across disciplinary forms.
Caitlin Dubler is a glass artist and trained silversmith exploring material histories through craft processes. Recent work has involved mapping the geology of glass, exploring the multivalent social and geological histories embedded within its materiality.
Natasha Dubler is a multidisciplinary artist working across sound installation, music performance and small sculpture. She is interested in how resonance, as a material phenomenon, can mould and shape landscape at or below the Earth’s surface, and how memories of these subtle shifts are etched into the material histories of a site.
Niki Johnson is a percussionist and composer-performer whose musical practice incorporates contemporary classical repertoire, improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and performance art. She collaborates with fine-artists, and experimental musicians to create new artworks and instruments existing in the liminal spaces of art mediums.

PerformAR Circuitos é um festival que nasce de uma inquietação política junto ao sistema das artes, que muitas vezes se desenha dentro de territórios fechados, restritos e em diálogo com o mercado.
Dentro de um olhar mais coletivista, e procurando criar um espaço mais arejado, mais inclusivo, mais plural, um grupo de pesquisa e três festivais e um selo de música experimental e arte sonora, (ALEA_experimental, AVXLab, IMPROFEST e Grupo Arte, Memória e Mídia / PUC-SP) se juntam dentro deste contexto sufocante que foi a pandemia de COVID-19 para celebrar um evento para o circuito voltar a respirAR.
Com curadoria, nesta primeira edição, por Demétrio Portugal, Dudu Tsuda, Marcus Bastos, Paulo Hartmann e Priscila Arantes, PerformAR Circuitos se materializa na junção de diferentes festivais e grupos de pesquisa em torno da performance, instalação, música experimental e arte sonora. O festival acontece nos dias 29, 30 e 31 de julho, no Cru, com participação de 39 artistas de diferentes linguagens e gerações.

Roberto Michelino
Canteiro de Sons - Citrons
Roberto Michelino
Vídeo, Montagem e segundo Citron - L.Musa
Roberto Maria Michelino nos leva a refletir sobre valores universais dentro do campo da criação artística, quando olhamos para o movimento circular e convergente do seu percurso. Pela delicadeza da mensagem de fundo, adjacente à dinâmica que privilegia o próprio processo, ele se mantém num campo aberto e livre quando (ouve) explora materiais e procedimentos, um caminho que faz co-incidir o ouvir interno e o externo. A roda se inicia na Mostra "Jovem Arte Contemporânea" em 1972 no Museu de Arte Contemporânea de São Paulo, com a temática "processos e criação" sob orientação do Professor Walter Zanini, quando começava a discussão sobre o que é arte conceitual, Roberto vinha na contramão, trazendo reflexões de outra ordem. migrando da pintura para as artes e ofícios com a marcenaria e seu design único, orgânico, quase naturalista, foi em busca de ampliar recursos de expressão e comunicação. Dedicando-se por mais de trinta anos às vocações de um atelier de marcenaria e em paralelo a isso começa seus estudos de música com Tom Zé, na escola Balacobaco. Essa trajetória possibilitou unir suas especializações ao impulso interno para a criação dos instrumentos de música e seu “Canteiro de Sons”. Tem em seu curriculum, a vivência com Walter Smetak e Mario Gruber, com quem trabalhou vinte e cinco anos como assistente na pintura e construtor de equipamentos. Uma carreira premiada como design e marceneiro, apresentou seu universo sonoro a Hermeto Pascoal e sua banda, participou com Jards Macalé das "Sinfonias de Jards", do Festival Internacional de Linguagem Eletrônica (File) com Dino Vicente, participou da homenagem a John Cage no Tucarena. Neste momento está extraordinariamente representado como artista e criador no premiado internacionalmente FILME SOM de Cesar Gananian e Alexandre Moura. A roda tem um giro completo agora, em que após exatos 40 anos ele volta ao ponto de partida: a pintura e suas reflexões sobre o fazer artístico nesse tripé Arte-Música-Comunicação.

BRASA AND BRIGGY
The Anglo Brazilian duo Barsa and Briggy, formed in 2010 by Wesley Ribeiro (drums, percussion and voice) and Chris Vine (guitar, bass, electronics and voice), combine elements of free improvisation, alternative rock, post jazz and performance poetry. These elements form their wide palette of sounds, which creates a unique live soundscape.
O duo anglo-brasileiro Barsa e Briggy, formado em 2010 por Wesley Ribeiro (bateria, percussão e voz) e Chris Vine (guitarra, baixo, eletrônicos e voz), combina elementos de improvisação livre, rock alternativo, post jazz e poesia performática. Esses elementos formam uma ampla paleta de sons, com a qual o duo cria ao vivo uma paisagem sonora única.
Chris Vine began playing improvised music as a teenager on the UK free improvisation circuit and developed his sound in the downtown music scenes of New York and Washington D.C. in the early 1980’s, working with Elliott Sharp, Bobby Previte and NPR's Bob Boilen, amongst others. He formed the Heat Poets in partnership with the open field poet Chris Torrance in Wales in 1985. Vine was guitarist with Ted Milton’s cult group Blurt throughout the 1990’s and worked as composer and sound designer for Welsh dance and theatre companies such as Earthfall, Teatr Genedlaethol Cymru and the Centre for Performance Research.
Chris Vine começou a tocar música improvisada em sua adolescência, no circuito de improvisação livre do Reino Unido; e desenvolveu seu som na cena Downtown de Nova Iorque e Washington D.C., no começo dos anos 80, trabalhando com Elliott Sharp, Bobby Previte e Bob Boilen (da NPR), entre outros. Ele formou os Heat Poets em parceria com o poeta Chris Torrance, em Wales, em 1985. Vine foi guitarrista do grupo cult Blurt de Ted Milton, durante os anos 90, e trabalhou como compositor e sound designer para companhias galesas de dança e teatro tais como Earthfall, Teatr Genedlaethol Cymru e Centre for Performance Research.
Wesley Ribeiro began studying drumming at the age of 11. From the age of 9 he participated in choral and percussion classes of Gospel Music. From a solid foundation in various rock, pop and jazz bands in his home state of Paraná, he began to investigate improvisation influenced by jazz and other contemporary forms of music and noise making.
Wesley Ribeiro começou a estudar bateria aos 11 anos de idade. Mas, desde os 9 anos, tocava percussão e cantava no grupo de música da igreja. De uma sólida formação tocando rock, jazz e música brasileira em seu estado natal, Paraná, ele começou a investigar a improvisação influenciado pelo jazz e outras formas contemporâneas de música e arte sonora.
"This music does not sound borrowed or unoriginal." - The Washington Review
"Sonic waves crash against electronic cliffs." - Birmingham Whats On magazine
"These are versatile, muscular and lyrical soundscapes which, while sidestepping obvious definitions, are influenced by rock, free improvisation and European art music." - Planet: The Welsh Internationalist

Em tempos de ímpeto e covardia, pessoas de bem, cristãos devotos e sacrifícios humanos; em tempos de fúria, mal estar, peste e reencantamento forçado; em tempos de alheamento, distopia e mortos-vivos; que o véu se rompa e animus se revele com anima entredentes; que o obsceno do humano que nos rodeia se revele, que se perfurem olhos, que tenhamos medo, mas que nessa noite escura e densa reencontremos nossa raiva e escapemos dos monstros que nos devoram.

Francesca Naibo | improfe.stream
FRANCESCA NAIBO
Francesca Naibo, guitarist from Vittorio Veneto (Italy) based in Milan, moves fluently across all the different conjugations of the guitar, from the classic, the electric, to the fretless and the pedal steel. Involved in the research for solo performance, she is focused on exploring sound in the divergent yet sonically similar fields of free improvisation, contemporary music and classical repertoire. She’s particularly interested in using both the acoustic and the electric nature of her instrument, adventuring from roaring drones till microscopic vibrations.
She studied in Venice, Milan, Bern and Basel graduating in classical guitar and free improvisation, and built collaborations with many European musicians, especially over Central and Northern Europe. She worked with important composers like Helmut Lachenmann and George Lewis and she realized the transcription of the “Exercises in Futility” by and in collaboration with Marc Ribot.
In 2020 her first solo album “Namatoulee” was released by Aut Records and it received enthusiastic reviews.
Besides her artistic activity, Francesca is a passionate teacher at the middle school in Milan.

Many of my works arise from questions I ask myself about the nature of intelligence and life. They run through my work, in fact. From my position as an artist, however, I avoid acting like a scientist even though I try to keep abreast of the studies that researchers carry out in this and other fields that, for a variety of reasons, interest or even fascinate me.
Life and intelligence are related in a domain that also fascinates me a lot: that of the confluence between perception and cognition. In particular, I am thinking now of the structural impossibility for us living beings to get an exact image of the world around us. We cannot get to its essence, first of all, because we are not what surrounds us and it is impossible for us to experience thant. In reality, an image of something, a thing, an animal, is not the source from which it comes. The image of the thing is not the thing. Here we would enter into profound questions of phenomenology in which I do not intend to delve right now, although I must point out that in my basic artistic discipline, sound, the distinction between the thing that produces the sound, the sound and the experience that we, the entities endowed with cognitive capacities, have of it, has historically been aesthetically very relevant. Along with this ontological particularity, it happens that our perceptual and cognitive instruments, perhaps we could call them analytical, have serious limitations. So we elaborate theories that often come close enough to things, but never close enough to feel fully satisfied.
"Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is the well-known phrase that can be read under the pipe in René Magritte's painting La trahison des images, in which he refers to the fact that the image of the thing represented in the painting is not the thing itself. Up to this point, we can all agree. It might seem to be a witticism of the artist, but Michel Foucault talks at length about the profound implications of all this in the text that he precisely titles with the phrase that the painter wrote under his representation of the pipe. The very existence of the philosopher's text makes it clear that, in addition to the image of the painting with its pipe and its accompanying phrase and the pipe itself, there is a third element: the mental image that we make of the pipe itself, the image of the pipe and the text represented in the painting. From this approach emerges a new agent, feedback, which we find in all phenomena that we consider living or intelligent. Feedback can lead us to a saturation characteristic of all recursive phenomena that do not present an exit condition, by the way. It is clear that between these three elements there is a distance. They are not the same. When instead of a pipe, our objective is intelligence or life, things take place in a similar way. The mental representation of life and intelligence do not coincide with themselves or with the images we can construct of them.
We attribute some characteristics to life and intelligence. Astrobiologists agree that in the extraterrestrial explorations that will surely take place later, we may very well encounter a form of life that we do not know how to recognize as such. This idea has always fascinated me because it points to the relationship between our expectations about what we should find and what really exists in a certain context and can be found in it. Something that conditions and limits our abilities to identify. In the same way, with regard to intelligence, it is worth wondering if whenever we find ourselves in front of it, we will be able to identify it. This is how I fable, I dream, I imagine, although it may not be true, that my works are sometimes alive, and other times they are capable of recognizing, even, of interpreting the meaning of parts of the world. What is certain is that many react to some aspects of the world.
Reflecting on this work that I present today, I realize that I start from an idea that I had already used before and I had not become aware of the fact until I had to put my ideas in order to explain them. It is about coupled oscillation. It is well known that the song and light emissions of some animals, and also their neurons, are synchronized and in pathological situations in which there is no output of the feedback processes, they tend to hypersynchronization states, as is the case of epilepsy. Fortunately, the singing of frogs and the flickering of fireflies, which, without the presence of noisy external agents from the environment would tend to stabilization. I already worked the coupled oscillators in Luci / No name and no memory. There, each of the 64 electronic elements is attentive to the flashes made by electronic elements of a similar nature in its vicinity.
http://www.sonoscop.net/jmb/masluci/luciarco.html
https://www.sonoscop.net/jmb/lucy/index.html
In this way, in the structure of the 64 fireflies there appear zones where the flickers are stabilized for a time and which, due to the topology of the network, end up destabilizing to stabilize in other zones or perhaps in the vicinity. The overall result is emergences of flickers with no clear pattern, but which would never occur randomly according to a uniform distribution or even more skewed.
Artificial Improvisation performs the same type of process. The 16 computational agents involved are listening to what the other 16 are doing to try to do things similar to them with a high degree of probability. In this way, I get a sound and visual flow that is always changing and never the same as itself. It can be considered a generative or if you wish algorithmic process.
What do they hear ?
Well, a series of parameters
Artificial improvisation is an application based on 16 agents that take information from a database feed from a previous musical improvisation made by me in my studio. As it could be running for unlimited time, it could be considered as an Installation. It could be considered as an IPSpace installation when emited to the IP space from a remote computer, a site installation, when hen running in an architectural space, or both. The general idea is to try to emulate the behavior of musicians during an improvisation, where they use to follow what other are doing or decide completely change the discourse trying to modify the future the whole musical object. Each agent behaves as follows :
1. If no other agent has made a choice of a zone of the database to run, then it randomly chooses a launch zone and runs it for a certain amount of time chosen between certain limits.
2. If other agents have already chosen their area of the database to perform, then, with a high probability, it chooses a performance area whose musical descriptors are similar to the already working agents, or makes a choice at complete random according to a probability complementary to the previous one, which, if the first is high, it must be low. In both cases, the chosen zone is executed during a given time between certain limits.
3. Regardless of the sound fragment chosen for the performance, it chooses from a range of computational processing possibilities, such as, for example, transposition of its spectrum to multiple zones different from the original ones, granulation or spatialization by means of convolution reverberation.
4. At the end of the execution of the chosen zone, goes back to point 1.
A visual database was created by associating the images with the improvisation sections, so that each sound section corresponds to one and only one section of the image sequence.
In the same way that sound sections are precessed during the performance, the visual sections are also processed by means of very basic logical operations that are carried out between the currently chosen section and the one that was most recently chosen.
This application was programmed in Max 8.1.11 and it was finished on May 30, 2021.
