albert mayr

Born 1975 in St. Pölten, Austria lives and works in Vienna, Austria

Albert Mayr masterfully breaks the boundaries between installation art and sound. By drawing attention to small details that you don't normally notice, his work absorbs you completely. Mayr's experiments with the endless possibilities of our surrounding objects brings their ambiguity and randomness to the surface. The everyday becomes extraordinary, the functional becomes unusable, or gets a surprising new application.

Frédéric le junter

Born in 1956, Dunkerque France

Since 1984 he's been building sound objects, shaking up the well-done lutherie and so I explore sound actions; what interests me is the production of sound materials and slow moving landscapes. I avoid virtuosity, I prefer a gentle instability, a detachment.

wannes deneer

Speaking Characters is a sound installation in which Wannes Deneer studies the effect of the design and materiality of a speaker. Speaking Characters is a series of sounding sculptures. Each sculpture has its own visual and aural character, together they form a polyphonic choir. A speaker is a seemingly simple object that can reproduce a complexity of sounds and emotions. Wannes Deneer studies every part of a loudspeaker and its effect on the sound. By physically manipulating his speakers, cutting, gluing and adding other materials, he models the sound physically. In this way Wannes creates his own characters.

pierre bastien

Pierre Bastien’s is a french musician born 1953 who builds his own machineries, at the cross between music and visual art, that blends live trumpet sounds with screen projections of on-site, mechanical sound sculptures in a very poetic way. His work is described as “a timeless sounding orchestra, both futuristic and slightly dada, conjuring ancient traditions in its surprisingly sensuous music.”

Bastien has been called a “mad musical scientist with a celebrity following” by The Guardian. Collaborating in the past with filmmaker Pierrick Sorin, fashion designer Issey Miyake, singer and composer Robert Wyatt and Aphex Twin (who released three of his albums on his label Rephlex) to name a few, he is one of the most influential experimental musicians working in the field. In 1986 he formed his own self made one man orchestra, Mecanium and made over 20 records over the years.
