John Zorn's early major compositions included several "game pieces", which he describes as "complex systems harnessing improvisers in flexible compositional formats," the most famous and widely performed of which is Cobra. Essentially a set of cue cards, hand signals, and a load of improvising make up the bones of the piece, which we hope to delve into and understand more through this workshop.

Many different recordings exist, all sounding very different and feature a wide range of different musicians and instruments including guitars, saxophones, drums, vocals, laptops, tape-loopers, samplers and even something called a "trombone." The beauty of "Cobra" is it can be performed by any ensemble of any size or instrumentation.

We’re going to be learning and rehearsing the piece over 2 sessions at Ermo do Caos. So if you want to take part, bring your instrument(s), some curiosity, and a headband/hat of some description.

Nuno Trocado (guitarra, electrónica) e Sérgio Tavares (contrabaixo) têm mantido uma profícua colaboração, em projectos recentes como Cotovelo, Vestiges (com o músico britânico Tom Ward), em trio com o baterista João Martins, ou ainda em cruzamento disciplinar com a fotógrafa Dária Salgado.

Neste concerto, juntam forças com Rodrigo Constanzo, baterista, construtor de instrumentos acústicos e electrónicos, investigador, e auto-intitulado "crazy person".

Performing with Nuno Trocado and Sérgio Tavares.

With the new interfaces and new musical instruments as a theme and starting from the activities developed throughout the year in Sonoscopia, these meetings aim to open to the community the opportunity to share the processes (developed and developing), the applications, and reflect on their progress. , setbacks, past and possible futures. Being a practical and experimental area by nature, where the focus is on the moment and the project, it rarely has the opportunity for sharing and reflection beyond the work. These meetings are not intended to nullify or replace this risk and single-time character, but to step forward after the work and the stage. The step of sharing, the step of reflection and above all the step of consolidating the developed artistic processes. The meetings are marked by the community spirit and the inclusion of plural voices, which aim to go beyond the artist, the curator, the designer, the historian, the public or the multiple players in the creative process. These are meetings that are expected of a philosophical relaxation and seriousness that we believe to be essential in building the future of our activities and, consequently, their involvement and comprehensiveness in the local and international scene of exploratory music.

The first performance showcases the initial batch of tools from the FluCoMa project.

Quadrophonia # 4.0 is the fourth international festival for experimental surround sound in Nuremberg. It sees itself as a forum for contemporary (electro) acoustic expressions and trends that goes far beyond aesthetic listening habits and consistently breaks with music genre-specific categorizations.

On two days, six international sound artists, electroacoustics, sound researchers and sound designers present themselves both as soloists and as interactants, each of whom has developed her own individual acoustic concepts and individual sound languages.

On Friday and Saturday evening, quadrophone interplays will be held with all six sound artists, and on Saturday afternoon, the sound artists will present themselves in a moderated solo audition with an audience discussion every hour on the hour.

Friday, September 27, 2019, 8 pm and
Saturday, September 28, 2019, 8pm
in the auditorium of the New Museum
Single tickets: box office 10 euros, concessions 8 euros
Combi tickets: box office 18 euros, concessions 14 euros

Saturday, September 28, 2019, 1 to 7 pm
Solo Auditions in the Auditorium of the New Museum
Admission is free.

XFest started at 119 Gallery in Lowell MA in 2008. The idea was to bring together improvising musicians, dancers and visual artists. We invited 10 artists from outside our region, New England, and 30 local artists. Set lists randomly mixed locals with outsiders. The festival grew both in size and enthusiasm. We stopped distinguishing between regional versus national and international artists. Instead we sought genders balance, inviting an equal number of women versus men. and welcoming LGBTQ artists. The festival has always been free and open to the public; however we have never actively marketed our publicized the event. We realized that the festival itself was less important than community of artists that participated year after year. In 2014 Y Sok, who, as a 119 Gallery Executive Director, helped plan the initial festival in 2008, moved to Manchester UK. Our first international festival was XFest Manchester 2017.

This is our second international festival. We have 34 artists, 17 women and 17 men. We have a place fo stay, Panoramic Village in Mazotos, 15km from the International Airport in Larnaca.
