Sabine Vogel & Bruno Faria „ONE TO ONE and ALL TOGETHER“ // Público Festival
As a venue focusing on new music, Acker Stadt Palast invites the fflautists and soundpainters Sabine Vogel and Bruno Faria with their interactive lecture performance: ONE TO ONE and ALL TOGETHER , a participative Soundpainting performance. „Soundpainting“ is a multidisciplinary sign language for real-time composition. In this performance the roles between performer and spectator are exchanged. The audience becomes the choir, some even the conductor, and takes the lead in a collective composition of sound and non-verbal language.
Soundpainting is the universal, multidisciplinary live composing sign language for musicians, actors, dancers and visual artists. Currently (2022), the language includes more than 1500 gestures signed by the sound painter (composer) to indicate the type of material desired by the performer. The creation of the composition is realized by the sound painter through the parameters of each set of signed gestures. The Soundpainting language was developed in 1974 by Walter Thompson in Woodstock, New York
by and with Sabine Vogel, Bruno Faria
Sabine Vogel is a German flutist active in the field of jazz, experimental and improvisational music. As a flute player Sabine Vogel focuses on sound and improvisation, using extended techniques, both acoustic as well as electronic, creating a very personal contemporary language for the flute. Also, she creates site specific work in the natural environment as well as concert installations and performances relating to her work outside in the fields. This work often relates to sound, place, time, moment and memory.She is intensively involved in modern playing techniques and expands the sound possibilities of her instrument by using special microphones and electronic tools such as motion controllers to control programs that modify the sound. She is certified in soundpainting and has had a teaching position for it at HMT Rostock since 2015.
Bruno Faria is a musician, teacher, researcher. Natural of Belo Horizonte (Brazil) and currently lives in Mölndal (Sweden). Faria concluded his PhD in artistic research at Lund University (June, 2016), having soundpainting as the main focus of investigation. Faria has been interested in exploring artistically and academically the affordances of soundpainting as compositional and performative medium through which different forms of artistic expression can be weaved together as a performance unfolds. As a soundpainter with the Swedish Soundpainting Orchestra.- SSO, Faria aims at taking advantage of his previous experiences as a musician involved with different settings (contemporary, symphonic, and chamber music repertoires, plus, Brazilian jazz) as a platform upon which to explore the expressivity and cohesion of a chamber music inspired way of making art with multidisciplinary ensembles formed by musicians, actors, dancers, and visual artists. That brings forth a deeper conceptual inspiration and challenge, which is founded upon everyday-life transactions: unscripted encounters with Others and the construction of meaningful relations through each encounter.
