An innovative composition for spoken language, six onstage loudspeakers and live electronics, The Speaker can be seen as a form of 'aural theatre' or preformative piece of 'musique concrète' exploring the interlocking themes of solipsism, paranoia and identity.
This performance is made possible with support from the Goethe-Institut, Schweden.
Pan Daijing is a performance and sound artist born and raised in southwest China, currently based in Berlin.
She has undertaken residencies at Foundazione Prada Venice, presenting commissioned piece at Shanghai's Rockbund Museum and performed at Berlin's Volksbuehne.
Her music combines ecstatic power electronics with cinematic atmospherics and sexual charge and an overriding commitment to the exploration of the links between sound and body.
Valerio Tricoli works as a concrete music composer, improviser, sound installation artist, producer, sound engineer and curator. His compositions bridge musique concrète and conceptual forms of sound. According to Tricoli, music – as a recorded or as a synthetically-modeled sound – is always hovering between the 'here and now' of the event and the shady domain of memory – distant but at the same time present, like a déjà–vu experience.
Werner Dafeldecker was born in Vienna in 1964 and studied the double bass. As a musician, composer and sound artist he takes advantage of the manifold possibilities offered by electro-acoustics. Werner also focuses on site specific projects, field recording and opposing natural and environmental sounds with synthetic variants. He has built up an extensive sound archive and created several electroacoustic pieces for radio and film.
