ELISABETH SCHIMANA + NOID (AT): Skin Body
Elisabeth Schimana uses live electronic and acoustic elements. Project Skin Body consists sonically of “broken” rhythms, constantly oscillating membranes and diverse modulated levels of generated sound patterns, which the artist produces by playing the cello and electronic instruments. A sonic treat for bodily music tasting.
noid – his musical approach can be described as fundamental research and his works span a wide range of contradictory outcome, from solos to compositions for ensembles, from sound installations to videos. He uses electronics as well as acoustical instruments, consequently denying the borderline between music and sound-art.
