Concerts L.E.V. Saturday September 19th. SCHNITT & AOI YAMAGUCHI 'CALLIGRATON' y MILIAN MORI

SCHNITT & AOI YAMAGUCHI. Calligraton

Calligraton is a live performance that emerges from the collaboration of the duo SCHNITT and Japanese calligrapher Aoi Yamaguchi. The project is developed on two apparently distant forms of expression, experimental sound composition and Japanese calligraphy “shodō”.

SCHNITT and Aoi Yamaguchi explore in Calligraton the relationship between sound and writing, rhythms, balances, full and empty spaces, sounds and silences confront each other on stage, discovering a profound affinity between sound and sign. The electronic/digital compositional gesture relates to the calligraphic gesture in an intimate conversation that explores the interconnection between the human gesture and the technological element. Over the course of five acts, the rhythm of the sound composition overlaps with the rhythm of writing, sound and writing step back from the attention to create space for a continuous exchange that defines the development of the entire performance.

SCHNITT is the collaborative project of Italian media artist Marco Monfardini and German experimental musician Amelie Duchow. Their work explores the convergence of electronic music, digital art and emerging technologies through immersive audiovisual performances and large-scale installations.

Born and raised in Hokkaido (Japan), Aoi Yamaguchi has been trained to master the basics of calligraphy since the age of 6. At 14 she received the title of Master Calligraphy Student from International Japanese Calligraphy Association. Currently based in Los Ángeles, Yamaguchi continues her work on her conceptual calligraphy installations, exhibitions, and performances as she continues to push the boundaries of traditional Eastern classics and contemporary artistic expression.

MILIAN MORI. live AV

Milian Mori is a composer and digital artist based in Switzerland. As part of his solo work he integrates dance, algorithms, pixels, and club music. In the last 15 years Mori has developed a musical language that aims to expand, project and reinterpret dance music's common vocabulary.

As part of the German label Raster Media, Mori creates immersive audiovisual live experiences in which bass-driven electronic music and synchronized stroboscopic black-and-white visuals form an intense, physical space.

Milian Mori shares his deep interest in combining mathematics, geometry and data with emotion, dance and fulfillment: technology meets nature, binary meets fluids, algorithm meets spirituality, dualism meets triality, machine meets human, randomness meets self similarity. All of his works are trying to open the space which exceeds dualism.
