Flickering for solo violin and electronics. Composed by Heather Frasch in collaboration with Biliana Voutchkova.
As a soloist Frasch is currently developing and performing a series of works using self-made DIY kinetic sound objects that are manipulated live, enhanced with real-time electronics and blended with synthesizers to create textural polyphonic compositions. In this composition, Frasch explores the possibility of extending that practice to include traditional acoustic instruments and other performers, while her own electronic performance is present only as residue onto a fixed playback system. The notion of ‘flickering’ is used to explore the sonic possibilities of tiny and unsteady movements and the consequence of unseen and unsure actions. www.heatherfrasch.net

Weston Olencki is an artist and musician from South Carolina, living now in Berlin. Their work positions musical instruments as sites of cultural inscription, working fluidly between experimental sound, traditional musics, and their various space/time(s).

Stefan Maier (b. 1990) is an artist and composer based in Vancouver, Canada — the unceded, traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Highlighting material instability and unruliness, his work explores the flows of sonic matter through sound systems, instruments, software, and bodies, to uncover minor histories, sonic fictions, and alternate modes of listening and authorship.
