SCREENING: E.N.C

The first E.N.C event took place at Zurich's Offspace Mikro and showed selected works that were the result of research on DIY aesthetics in non-commercial and contemporary music videos. The programme is offered as an audio-visual mixtape, highlighting works by local and international artists that include references to DIY methods in production and aesthetics. What kind of relationships are established between new and „old“ media in contemporary artistic production? Which techniques and production methods have been rediscovered? The videos shown are intended to give information, ideas and suggestions on such questions.

Featuring Works By: Alexander Iezzi, Billy Bultheel, Ches Smith, Helena Wittmann, Frank Heath, Joseph Kadow, Leevisa, Latex Lucifer, Margaret Chardiet, Nika Son, Sicc Puppy

The exhibition format E.N.C (Encounters in Networks and Communities) explores new ways of curating in various physical locations as well as online, sharing moving images situated between experimental music videos, live-performances, and research-based contributions.

Premiering the performance ELEKTRA (Scream Through the Eyes of a Statue) in 2018, the artist James K marked the beginning of her residency at ISSUE, NYC.

echo-shelves

contribute

'Echo Shelves' was a special evening that featured soundscapes by Nina Emge and Heith, presented by fromheretillnow in collaboration with the artist Dominic Michel and Istituto Svizzero. 'Echo Shelves' gathered thoughts on the scenic quality of public inventories and used objects, sound, and places as carriers of stories that continually transformed and extended themselves. The event symbolized the gradual fading of the current exhibition, marking a transition into a 'dark mode' that marked the exhibition's conclusion.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH LATENCY

editorial

A glimpse behind the scenes reveals an authentic parallel world that stands in strong contrast to the perfectly staged show. The scene as a whole appears unfinished, chaotic, and somehow improvised. Ultimately, everything is aimed at a specific moment that fades away after a certain time and only exists in our thoughts or in recordings in the form of sound, videos or images.

Ein Raum mit mehreren Schichten: Johanna Odersky veröffentlicht "The Itch"

interview

Unmittelbar vor dem Launch von Johanna Oderskys neuem Album, welcher im Projektraum Ashleys in Berlin stattfand, traf ich mich zu einem Gespräch mit der Künstlerin und Musikerin in ihrem Studio außerhalb der hektischen Großstadt. Gemeinsam erkundeten wir die Facetten von Räumen, Emotionen und die transformative Wirkung des Samplings auf ihre künstlerische Praxis.

Hiroshi Yoshimura - Wave Notation

liner notes

This is the kind of music I want to make with the "Wave Notation" series. because music is not only meant to be something which exists atone, What I am attempting to do, in an overall sense, can be called `sound design'. This includes the adjustment and regulation of sounds which are proper to an environment, along with the production and composition of the music within this series. Possibly, for a given environment, just one sound would be sufficient.
