Preface Teresa Matias - PNEM SAF 2013
Hugo Paquete - PNEM SAF 2013
On 16 and 17 November 2014 the 4th edition of the annual PNEM Sound Art Festival takes place. An unique festival in the Netherlands, organized by the Platform New Experimental Music.
The fourth edition of the international PNEM Sound Art Festival in Uden offers you two days of live music and sound art, video and audio projects, lectures and workshops. The interaction between musicians, artists and audience, the inspiring location in and around the old Pnem building at the edge of the forest in the Maashorst Park make this soundart festival a yearly unique experience. This international event, with static and dynamic elements and a line-up with dozens of foreign artists, specifically on ground breaking sound art, is a welcome addition to the cultural variety in this region. Lovers of art and culture are introduced to internationally renowned artists and up-coming new talents at a high-quality soundart festival that was organized without significant financial support.

2013
The organizers of this festival, who are working with a lot of positive energy and a modest budget deserve our admiration. The festival could only be realized because the artists travel at their own expenses.
Thanks to the cooperation with regional companies, musicians and secondary schools, the future of the festival is guaranteed and we hope many editions will follow. I wish you all a wonderful and inspiring series of concerts!
Fourth Edition
In Uden they are given a warm welcome and are accommodated with art loving host families. I wish the organizers every success to consolidate and expand their artistic ambitions in this festival that will be indispensable for the cultural colour of our region.

Live 4
“In-formed Music” by Alan Courtis is a composition for “newspaper ensemble”, which means a group of (at least 12) players using newspapers as their only musical instruments. The piece is based in a graphic score and it has been played by ensembles from USA, Switzerland and United Kingdom. The players are divided in groups and are required to play the newspapers in diverse ways, controlling the volume and also creating different sound textures and dynamics. The piece works better played by a large number of players in an indoor auditorium. Alan Courtis was born in 1972 in Argentina. He has more than 300 solo releases and collaborations on worldwide labels, and has toured extensively in Japan, China, Europe, USA, Oceania & Latin America.
His written music has been played in United Kingdom, Switzerland, Wales, USA and LatinAmerica. He’s been artist in residence at EMS (Stockholm) and USF (Norway) and has been commissioned by Phoenix Basel Ensemble (Switzerland), eský Rozhlas (Czech Republic). He has collaborated with musicians like: Merzbow, Pauline Oliveros, Phill Niblock, Eddie Prevost, Lee Ranaldo, Jim O’Rourke, Otomo Yoshihide, Mats Gustafsson, Yoshimi, L.A.F.M.S., Tetuzi Akiyama, Daniel Menche, RLW, C.Spencer Yeh, Okyung Lee, etc. His recent music can be described as having a strongly experimental sensibility, based on high-skilled techniques with traditional and unusual instruments (eg. unstringed guitar).

Good cop / naughty cop make instant electronic compositions with self-programmed software and selfmade controllers. They look for ways to accomplish a physical approach towards electronic music (and in particular realtime synthesis and sampling). They use equipment like bicycles, radios, FM transmitters and little solar cell synths in their performances. The music sometimes described as ‘improvised noise ambient’ - is influenced by the music and ideas of artists like John Cage, Tim Hecker, John Zorn and Captain Beefheart. Current members are composer / sound artist Sjoerd Leijten and ambient producer / pianist Patrick Bossink.

Live 6
www.pinkelsdaheim.com
Jürgen Eberhard was born in 1966 in Lörrach, and lives now in the Hansa town Bremen in the North of Germany, where he works as an architect. Since 1989 he devotes himself with experimental electronical music, and is co-founder of the project “Feine Trinkers bei Pinkels daheim.”, which became his solo-project in 2004. Since then numerous CDs, tapes and LPs, always with remarkably designed covers, have been released on international music labels, such as Audiofile Tapes (USA), Vinyl Communication (USA), Drone Records ( Germany), White Rabbit Records (Germany), and Silken Tofue (Belgium). His purpose is to create sounds and soundscapes by means of objects that are not musical instruments in the first place, for example toys, kitchen utensils,
chemicals and insects. The sound of the assembled and newly arranged objects are electronically processed, layered, regrouped and used in many unusual ways, until the original sound is completely modified. The heavy psycho- acoustic sound during a live-performance is a treat for the eyes and ears. From the very beginning, Jürgen Eberhard gave concerts in Germany - Gesellschaft für aktuelle Kunst, Bremen - Ausklangfestival, Hamburg; - Galerie für zeitgenössische Kunst, Leipzig - Hochschule für Künste, Bremen - Avantgarde Festival Schiphorst), England, Scotland , the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Lithuania, Austria and Switzerland.
‘The Present State of the Neural Network’ is a result of the creative work process that took place at the club MOZG (Brain) in Bydgoszcz, Poland, in June and August 2014. The form of the piece (a suite) is composed of the units of established duration, each of them employing a differently modified set of instruments. The units can be repositioned in any order within the form. The evolvement of their internal narratives is predetermined while the momentary texture is, on the micro level of the musical events: tones, timbres or motives, created in the process of the improvisational strategy. The work is dedicated to the sound exploration and to the revealing how this exploration can lead to the creation of different textures and their relation to the spatial resolution of the sound.
Michal Osowski is an interdisciplinary artist based in Rotterdam, Netherlands and in Bydgoszcz, Poland. He specializes in interactive art projects integrating movement, sound and video projection. He presented his work at the art venues like Cinémathèque Française in Paris, the Fondazione Morra in Naples or De Wereld van Witte de With festival in Rotterdam, but also in uncommon settings: public buildings, streets, parks, etc. Michal Kostrzewa is a clarinet and saxophone performer based in Bydgoszcz, Poland. He developed a special preparation for his clarinet, attaching pipe-like shaped objects made of metal, plastic or other material, to the mouthpiece.

Post Global Trio is an experience. Experience that you can feel on the journey through distant lands, inside or outside yourself. Images of clear and subtle soundscapes and landscapes. Enter into the woods. Leave the city behind the horizon. Forget about the city... and go further in, in yourself and find yourself in a way you thought you had long forgotten. The project is created as a continuity of communication, collaboration, necessity of developing a certain scene. With sound pictures of long-term mutual philosophical meditations. Post Global Trio is a project between Toni Dimitrov, Dimitar Dodovski

and Martin Georgievski. They have released two albums, one on the label Post Global Recordings and the second one on Unknown Tone Records. The third live album on Twice Removed Records will be on the market soon, specially for those who enjoy silence, the sound of nature, soundscapes, field recordings, 12k, rural colors, nature preservation‌Fluids is available on cd at Unknown Tone Records.

Bleu Solo A “comprovised” (combining “composed” and “improvised”) performance for solo acoustic cello placed in a lit setup. The music is based on a monophonic sound, like the projected video, a monochromatic blue varying perpetually. The performer is placed within the projected image, eyes closed, taking cues from the flashing lights. Bleu Solo received in 2014 the support of the Regional Council of Pays-de-la-Loire and the General Council of Loire-Atlantique.

Upcycle Roundup KR
Forest Disposition
PNEM SoundArtFestival
Live 10
facebook.com/UpcycleRoundup Forest Disposition is a new piece by Upcycle Roundup, which was initially developed to aim to be performing in woods around sunset time. Upcycle Roundup listens and reacts to the sound of autumn forest by playing selfproduced portable electronic instruments, which measures distance and senses changes of light and using them as core parameters to synthesize sound. It’s an experiment about movement and placement as a way of live-composing to find a moment to correspond to each other and to the environment in situ. During the concert, audiences are invited to play palm-sized light sensitive sound devices to be a part of the whole concert. After finishing outdoor performance on Sunday, performers and audiences install instruments on branches of trees, in between rocks, beneath the grounds,
around the bushes. The overall volume of the portable sound divides are not too loud to disturb individual sounds in the forest, such as footsteps, rustlings leaves, buzzing insects. Each sound should be discernable, so it permeates the time and space. Stage performance using PA system on Saturday, outdoor performance in forest without PA system on Sunday. Upcycle Roundup is a Seoul-based sound/media performance collective. Current members are Gangil Yi, Jiyeon Kim, SeonHyoung Kim, Changgyun Jung, Insook Bae and JeongHwan Kim. Performances include Seoul Art Spaces Mullae, Dimanche Rouge Festival (Tallin, Helsinki).
Mario van Horrik NL Petra Dubach
In 2009 Petra and Mario started their “Improvisations” project. The concept is really simple: with a selection of instruments and objects on a table, they start off, and continue until the end. Two mikes, two amp/speakers, a mixing board and a loop station are used to amplify and reproduce the sounds they create. The instruments and objects Petra and Mario use are different every time and depend on, for example, what they can take with them.
So far Petra and Mario played their improvised concerts at: 2009: Gallery Kunstpraktijk, Veldhoven; 2010: Werkstatt Improvisierte Musik, Zürich; 2011: Extrapool, Nijmegen; Freitagsmusik, Hamburg; 2012: Hörbar, Hamburg; Kunstverein Duisburg; Clockbuilding Strijp S, Eindhoven; 2013: Lokaal 01, Breda; Skolska 28, Prague. 2014: Hear Me Festival, Ostrava; Galery Sklenena Louka, Brno; Audio Art Festival, Krakow. The press about Petra and Mario: “Another boat of music weirdoes in the open sea with no familiar coordinates..... The only compass is their creative intuition. Let’s start this obscure journey based on the principle “the one who risks makes profit”....

Field Frequency Flux
Field Frequency Flux is site specific radio art composition, transmitted on a local FM radio frequency with live in-situ FM interventions. Soundwalk explores and initiates sound and spatial situations in the face of a diverse natural ambience and deals with issues of perception and reception of the electromagnetic radiation. Projects presents a park as a space where to withdraw from the city’s hustle and bustle, overfilled with information, communication and other stimuli that pull us away from listening. In the park, one enters the silence and emptiness of a night. It is equipped with a radio receiver that translates and catches remote electromagnetic sound contents. Participants are invited to bring portable radios or optional mobile phone with FM radio app and headphones.

Kevin Logan’s cross-disciplinary practice spans over two decades, comprising performance, installation, digital media and sound composition/ design. He has exhibited and performed internationally, has had sound works on compilation CDs, audio-visual works screened in festivals worldwide and has had theoretical and experimental works published. His practice is an exploration of the sonic through gesture and performance. In particular low-key and low-fi sequences of performed tasks, re-constructed, re-purposed and ‘re-punked’ through secondary technology. This is part of an on-going interrogation of the performative nature of sound works and the destabilisation and countervailing of the performer by means of mediation. He is currently a PhD student with the CRiSAP research centre, University of the Arts London. He is also a founder member of the collective thickear.

www.fabiomonni.com What happens if we translate a text in different languages for countless times? Is it the writer that creates a fictional reality or it is the written reality that gives the writer consistency? Grazia Deledda (1871-1936) was an Italian writer and the first Italian woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926. Deledda international is based on both her figure as a writer and her intellectual heritage translated and exported into different cultures. Fabio Monni believes that creativity should stand beyond trends and ‘cultural’ movements and find its own way of affirming itself. Fabio is a multidisciplinary artist which explores several areas of expression, from video and music composition to graphic novels.

sawtyat.wordpress.com Khaled Ossama Kaddal is an Egyptian sound artist, musician, and composer. Alexandria(((s)))ound-Rope Pulling is a 10:55 min sound piece using self-recorded waves of the Urban of Alexandria. The sound demonstrates our opinions on the tension of the city. By sounds of the space we could explore the motion of the city, and to have a different perspective of the concept of Resistance. A mass of bodies in motion receiving the impact of the city, a mass of breathing lives building temporary shelters to dream and aspire. A mass of collective intelligence in movement transpiring with sounds. And in between, a growing leak of creativity and contestant. If we have positive force against a negative force facing each other, will create resistance in a neutral space. This is how the piece was structured. Alexandria(((s))) ound is developed into 3 parts. Each part contain 3 self-recorded sounds, which could be resumed into positive,negative and neutral sounds from the Urban from the perspective of the creator.

‘Re:****Sitruuna ja meduusa’ is a threechannel 3d animation, developed in 2014 by visual artist Merja Nieminen and sound artist James Andean, based on and extended from an original ‘live’ installation concept first exhibited in Espoo, Finland in 2012. The installation never presents the same scene twice – each and every visual moment is entirely unique. The work constructs a dynamic system that explores the capacity of the spectator to create relationships – to build worlds – from multiple sensory information. This universe operates on its own laws; familiar, but somehow elusive. These laws appear to be based in sound, or to emit sound: the world turns, and objects within it turn… while sound events strike, scurry past, or resonate…

www.simplesatellite.org Heather Warren-Crow is a performance artist based in Texas in the US. Her piece “General Equivalence, or Pillow Talk for the Olfactorily Impaired Worker” was inspired by a perfume created by Microsoft VP of Sales Patrick McCarthy. McCarthy got the idea for “His Money Cologne” and “Her Money Eau de Parfum” after reading about a Japanese study claiming that the smell of money increases workers’ efficiency. In preparation for the piece, Warren-Crow collected English-language descriptions of the smell of money from Google Books. Then, she read the script over a Muzak-style track. The resulting recording will improve the efficiency of anybody working while listening to it, even those unaware of their labor (after all, late-capitalism has recoded play as work).

Collage 3
www.jcvasquez.com
Collage 3, composed in 2014, is part of a series of experiments conducted to prove the digital capabilities of tone expansion in a single acoustic instrument. In this particular piece, the composer recorded an original performance of Eugène Ysaÿe’s Sonata No. 3 for solo violin, and reinvented the audio files deconstructing the piece as a collage, using different and complex kinds of digital audio processes to create a post-modern electro-acoustic version of the original sonata. As a result, the usual acoustic violin timber is expanded into deep and rich atmospheres filling the entire range of frequencies. The collages series are also a sonic application of British painter JMW Turner’ technique to use layers of colors and textures to turn everyday landscapes into powerful and expressive oneiric fantasies.

… s’échappe dans un monde lointain (première partie)
www.nilspotet.com « … s’échappe dans un monde lointain » (...escapes in a remote world) is a long piece in three parts (here is part one) conceived as the evocation of an imaginary sound world. The intention was to create an atmosphere made of sound layers and one-time events. This first part is built like a long crescendo with an accumulation of tensions that decrease only in the very last minute. One has the feeling this sound world is in constant motion, a world in which the listener is projected and lets their imagination run wild. The piece was created at GMVL in Lyon (France) as an installation where the audience could listen to the music, lying down in the dark. Born in Grenoble (France), Nils Potet first studied classical music then turned to electroacoustic composition. His music has been broadcast at Soul International Computer Music, the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, and many others. He has just released his second CD “Liontaines résonances”.

Sandrine Deumier (E-poetry) French author, filmmaker and performer. Of her double philosophic and artistic formation, Sandrine Deumier builds a protean poetic work centered on the question of the technological transfers and the performative place of the poetry through the new technologies. Using the material of the word as image and the image as vector of the word, she develops a work in the junction of the video medium and the sound poetry by considering them as sensitive devices to express a shape of unconscious material of the one. She works with the sound composer Philippe Lamy Since 2013. Philippe Lamy (Painter and Sound Composer). Music and painting resonate together, with the same care given to textures, the same attention to events and with that desire to achieve a certain density.

Fear of music
“A Taxi For My Uncle” is an artist collective based in London and Dubai. The In A Place Like This You Don’t Blow On Your Hat You Fan It With Your Soup piece uses dub methodology as a platform upon which are built groups of found sounds. From plaintive Indo-Asian a capellas through stern dancehall admonishments to heavily-doctored field recordings. “In A Place Like This You Don’t Blow On Your Hat You Fan It With Your Soup” holds a mirror up to multi-culturalism and fragmented globalisation.
www.post-global.com Toni Dimitrov - cultural producer and cultural explorer, radio host and radio activist, philosopher and communicologist, poet and mountain climber... but also sound artist, dj, designer, organizer, label owner, based in Skopje, Macedonia. ‘Fear of Music’ is a conceptual sound art installation, a piece of sound that asks important questions related to contemporary art and is observing the relation between the fine art and the sound art. However, while the general public has no problem accepting the avant-garde and experimental art, there is mass resistance to avant-garde and experimental music, especially in smaller and closed environments and audiences. It is the process that David Stubbs calls fear of music. The sound of the installation is also released as a mini album (on the label Charlotte Sometimes) made of four parts, heavily based on field recordings, used with an addictive sense of mannerism, minimalist patterns repeating like motives through the tracks and distant orthodox monk voices...
