Sonic art for the visually minded

29 Oct – 8 Nov 2015 Glasgow-wide sonic-a.co.uk

A special thank you to the following supporters and partners without whom Sonica 2015 would not have been possible:

Funders Welcome to our third edition of Sonica in Glasgow - an 11 day city-wide dive into sonic arts with a visual twist.

Since our last festival in 2013, we have been touring Sonica to Austria, Brazil, France and across the UK.

2015 sees us branch out further with a new work by the wonderful Indonesian artist, Jompet Kuswidananto, Te Alma & Leslie Wolfson along with our Sonica Artist in Residence, Henrique Charitable Trust Roscoe from Brazil.

Partners We are delighted to be premiering a new work, Fluorophone, by Speak Percussion from Melbourne as well as welcoming BL!NDMAN’s return to Glasgow after 23 years.

We have new work from Cryptic Associates Kathy Hinde, Robbie Thomson and Mark Lyken, as well as iconic venues such as Hamilton Mausoleum and Govanhill Baths. This year also sees us introduce a new audio-visual element to Sonica, and who better to present this than Herman Kolgen from Montréal.

A huge thank you to our wonderful venue partners and a very special thanks to our co-curators Patrick Dickie

TRANSDUCER (UK PREMIERE)

& Fluorophone (WO RLD PREMIERE) Speak Percussion with Robin Fox ( Australia ) Virtuosic and adventurous. – The New York Times Thu 29 Oct // 8pm // Tramway // £15/£9 (90 mins)

Speak Percussion, Australia’s most innovative percussive ensemble collaborate with audio-visual artist and Sonica favourite Robin Fox, on a journey into unchartered sonic territory. Inspired by Stockhausen’s seminal work MIKROPHONIE I, TRANSDUCER is an electro-acoustic spatialised performance work that places the microphone centre stage and redefines its function and potential as an expressive musical object. Featuring compositions by Løffler, Ricketson and Ughetti, Fluorophone moves between music concrète and virtuosic instrumentalism, in a synaesthetic display of light and sound.

LINK.C (UK PREMIERE) AfterShock Scientists, like artists, are & Seismik inspired by nature. Herman Kolgen is a bit of both. Herman Kolgen ( Québec ) – La Presse, Canada

Fri 30 Oct // 8pm // Tramway // £15/£9 (60 mins)

A triple bill performance by multifaceted audio-cinematic sculptor, Herman Kolgen of his audio- visual masterpieces, AfterShock and Seismik, along with the UK première of LINK.C, a moving, elliptical representation of our urban areas, based on Philip Glass’ String Quartet No. 2 and performed by the Maxwell Quartet.

AfterShock explores harsh post-human landscapes and the destructive consequences of brutal topological shocks beneath the Earth’s surface. Frictional resistance, fossil earthquakes and magnetic waves result in Seismik, a frequency-fraught, tension charged performance that taps into seismic waves and the Earth’s tremor-related phenomena in real- time. True to Kolgen’s conceptual preoccupations and radiographic approach, he renders the invisible visible,
