NOIJZU Swiss Electroacoustic Unit NOIJZU Swiss electroacoustic unit PROJECT DOSSIER 17 December 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Project Description 6 Documentation 10 Biographies 18 Musicians, Contact 1 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Physical musicality is evoked by a habitat, which foreshadows diverse sound spaces. A musical examination focuses on recognition of domesticated and undomesticated sounds, ideologies, networking senses and physical entities. Each sound identifies itself, through varied behaviours. Noijzu is a Swiss electroacoustic unit, formed in late 2017 by Luis Sanz and Urs Heer. Noijzu began as a noise duo, using voice, guitar, objects and drums, within this setup Noijzu released two albums and participated in three compilations. By late 2018 the Chinese clarinetist Shuyue Zhao, resident in Bern, Switzerland, becomes part of the group. The new duo by Zhao and Sanz focuses on acoustic and computer-generated sonic entities. Noijzu blends the bass clarinet with digital signals to produce contrasting acoustic dynamics, from minimal to extreme confrontational expressions, creating complex and hyperreal textures. Noijzu's sound has been described as "a symphony of fragmented noise". Zhao and Sanz have been experimenting with various artistic approaches to explore and challenge the limit of musical possibilities. Besides interpreting new compositions as a clarinetist, Shuyue Zhao has been active in improvisation since 2012. In 2018 she has expanded her artistic practice from acoustic clarinet improvisation to combinations of amplified clarinet/bassclarinet and feedback-based electronic sounds. Luis Sanz has been working with video and abstract animations since 2010. In 2014 he included sound in his animations and began exploring electronic and computer music as well as extended techniques on turntables. The varied and different backgrounds have enabled them to explore new forms of artistic dialogue. Noijzu has performed across France, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Myanmar, Indonesia, Java, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. 3 Noijzu, Asia Tour, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, February - March 2020 4 “A guide of Swiss Underground Experimental Music“ Buh Records and The Wire Magazine, October 2019 5 DOCUMENTATION RELEASES 2019 A Guide of Swiss Underground Experimental Music, Double Vinyl, Buh Records, Peru and The Wire Magazine 2019 Atrofia Cerebral [PE] & Noijzu, Split Cassette, Rotova Porojnina Records, Kiev Ukraine 2019 Noijzu, Discordant Seeds, C20, Cruel Bones, Zurich Switzerland 2018 Noijzu, 4 Way Split, CDr , Low Life High Volume, Berlin Germany 2018 Noijzu, El Bien De Ser, C10, Rotova Porojnina Records, Kiev Ukraine SELECTED PERFORMANCES 2020 Le Pneu, Geneva Switzerland 2020 Asia Tour, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Java, Borneo, Singapore, Vietnam 2020 Esoteric Affairs, Raum Station, Zürich 2019 Plein Air à Voltaire Festival, Geneva, Switzerland 2019 Borderline Festival, Atelier Wolimierz, Dolnośląskie, Poland 2019 Nula:Nula, Praha, Czech Republic 2019 w/ Ryosuke Kiyasu, Joel Gilardini, Maxime Hänseberger & Steve Buchanan, Ebrietas, Zurich Switzerland 2019 w/ Purpura, Dave Phillips, Mulo Muto, Svartvit, Umbo, Zurich Switzerland 2018 Adv3nt, Botanischer Garten, Bern Switzerland 2018 w/ Kazehito Seki, ..., Tzii, Radio Rabe, Bern Switzerland 2018 Tour w/ Soft Issues [Leeds, UK], La Maison De L‘enfer, Nancy France 2018 Tour w/ Soft Issues [Leeds, UK], Ebrietas, Zurich Switzerland 2018 Tour w/ Soft Issues [Leeds, UK], LoopHole, Berlin Germany 2018 Tour w/ Soft Issues [Leeds, UK], La Pointe Lafayette, Paris France 2018 Tour w/ Soft Issues [Leeds, UK], Autistic Campaign Festival, Rouen France 2018 w/ Purpura, Luis Alvarado, Duplex Walden, Geneva Switzerland 2018 Defibrylator Festival, Piwiarnia u Bossmana, Ostrów Wielkopolski Poland 2018 w/ Odal [NL], DOM, Łódź Poland 2018 w/ Diego Atucha [AR], Espace d‘exposition, Cinéma Salle Robert Kramer, HEAD Genève Switzerland 6 “Discordant Seeds”, C20, Cruel Bones, Zurich Switzerland, May 2019 7 Asia Tour, Noijzu, Luis Sanz live at Ruang Gulma, Yogyakarta, Java, February 2020 8 “El Bien De Ser”, C10, Rotova Porojnina Records, Kiev Ukraine.

  • Developing Sound Spatialization Tools for Musical Applications with Emphasis on Sweet Spot and Off-Center Perception
    Sweet [re]production: Developing sound spatialization tools for musical applications with emphasis on sweet spot and off-center perception Nils Peters Music Technology Area Department of Music Research Schulich School of Music McGill University Montreal, QC, Canada October 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. c 2010 Nils Peters 2010/10/26 i Abstract This dissertation investigates spatial sound production and reproduction technology as a mediator between music creator and listener. Listening experiments investigate the per- ception of spatialized music as a function of the listening position in surround-sound loud- speaker setups. Over the last 50 years, many spatial sound rendering applications have been developed and proposed to artists. Unfortunately, the literature suggests that artists hardly exploit the possibilities offered by novel spatial sound technologies. Another typical drawback of many sound rendering techniques in the context of larger audiences is that most listeners perceive a degraded sound image: spatial sound reproduction is best at a particular listening position, also known as the sweet spot. Structured in three parts, this dissertation systematically investigates both problems with the objective of making spatial audio technology more applicable for artistic purposes and proposing technical solutions for spatial sound reproductions for larger audiences. The first part investigates the relationship between composers and spatial audio tech- nology through a survey on the compositional use of spatialization, seeking to understand how composers use spatialization, what spatial aspects are essential and what functionali- ties spatial audio systems should strive to include. The second part describes the development process of spatializaton tools for musical applications and presents a technical concept.

When I was composing the work, I had no accessory feelings or thoughts; I knew only that I had to fulfill the mantra. And it demanded itself, it just started blossoming. As it was being constructed through me, I somehow felt that it must be a very true picture of the way the cosmos is constructed, I’ve never worked on a piece before in which I was so sure that every note I was putting down was right. And this was due to the integral systemization - the combination of the scalar idea with the idea of deriving everything from the One. It shines very strongly. - Karlheinz Stockhausen Mantra is a seminal piece of the twentieth century, a pivotal work both in the context of Stockhausen’s compositional development and a tour de force contribution to the canon of music for two pianos. It was written in 1970 in two stages: the formal skeleton was conceived in Osaka, Japan (May 1 – June 20, 1970) and the remaining work was completed in Kürten, Germany (July 10 – August 18, 1970).

All tickets for the original shows will remain valid for the new dates. Despite best efforts, due to scheduling conflicts and limited venue availability in April 2018, Ed Sheeran has been forced to cancel his tour dates in Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Jakarta. Ed commented: “A follow-up visit to my doctors today confirmed that I will be good to go from the Singapore shows onwards. Osaka, Tokyo and Manila will be rescheduled for April 2018. My dates in Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Jakarta will sadly need to be cancelled as it’s just been impossible to reschedule these for next year.

  • Zeitmasze (Time-‐Measures)
    ZEITMASZE Introduction – transcription from DVD ZEITMASZE (TIME-MEASURES) (Introduction to a concert on August 21st 1992 in which ZEITMASZE was performed by the Ensemble Modern under Stockhausen’s direction in the Mozartsaal of the Alte Oper Frankfurt. It was the first in the series of 7 concerts with introductions. The programme was: GESANG DER JÜNGLINGE (electronic music) – ZEITMASZE for five woodwinds – KONTAKTE for electronic sounds.) The composition ZEITMASZE, which we are going to play for you, came into being during the time I was composing GESANG DER JÜNGLINGE. Before we play the entire piece I would like to let you hear what we haVe practiced during the past two weeks By haVing you listen to seVeral sections of the work. Until ZEITMASZE, all music was written in Bars with prescriBed tempi. The music of the first minutes of ZEITMASZE is also notated in Bars, and the musicians play in time. The tempo changes seVeral times. Then, oVer the entire work, the following deVelopment takes place: For the first time, the musicians separate from one another in time, and I use different time-measures in order to ensure the independence of the individual instruments that one hears. There is a certain number of these time-measures. One of the time-measures is: Play as fast as possible. The English horn is the first instrument within a five-layered superimposition that plays as fast as possible. What does that mean? It means that in spite of the fast tempo, one should Be aBle to hear eVery note, and clearly articulate. The notes have various lengths, however.
