Sonica is a programme dedicated to world-class sonic arts, presenting emerging British talent alongside exceptional international artists in collaboration with renowned co-producers and venues. Performances of exceptional and rarely seen work are given a UK platform at Sonica. Sonica 2013 will present eight UK premières, two Scottish premières and four Sonica commissions as part of one long weekend of sonic art encompassing music, performance, sound, visual art and multimedia. Highlights include the UK Premiere of Voice, an audio-visual duet by Norwegian artist Maja S K Ratkje and light designer HC Gilje. French artists Robin Meier and Ali Momeni have based their work Truce on the natural behaviour of male and female mosquitoes to "sing" in tune in order to find a partner of the right species type. We are also delighted to be working again with Yannis Kyriakides, presenting his multi-media opera The Buffer Zone for the first time in Scotland which was first seen at hcmf// in 2007. A special thank you to all our supporters and partners who have made Sonica 2013 possible. Cathie Boyd Co-curator and Artistic Director Patrick Dickie and Graham McKenzie Co-curators, Sonica 2013

The echoing beauty of whistles, growls, clicks and whisper-to-scream exhalations is accompanied by electronics and LED screens in a unique performance.
Anyone who has seen or heard Ratkje perform live will know what a superb musician she is, and one who can genuinely be said to be extending the expressive range of the voice through technical and technological means… Her work is celebratory and inclusive. The Wire Image: HC Gilje
Sonica welcomes award winning Norwegian composer and sound sculptress Maja S K Ratkje for her Scottish debut. Ratkje collaborates with visual artist HC Gilje for this stunning audio-visual performance for voice which was first seen in 2012 at Kontraste Festival in Minoretenkirchein Krems, Austria.

The Buffer Zone [ Scottish Première ]
Yannis Kyriakides Friday 1 November / 7.30pm / early bird - £8 or full price - £12/£8
venue: Tramway
info: sonic-a.co.uk #sonicacryptic
A musical narrative from whose spell it is hard to escape. The impact of the slightly transcendental and unreal mixture of contemplativeness and degeneration is just too strong. De:Bug
Following the performance there will be a post-show talk.
A multimedia, operatic world of division - inspired by the Cyprus UN Buffer Zone - explores the boundaries of separation. Suspended video screens divide the audience and on each side musicians play imaginary duets with virtual instruments alongside a UN soldier who illustrates through movement the absurdity and alienation of the buffer zone. This powerful performance is accompanied by film footage, recordings of UN soldier interviews, the sound of military technology, cello, piano and manipulated voices.
Supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Compositions for Involuntary Strings [ UK Première ]
Michaela Davies
Are the musicians in this ensemble playing - or being played? Davies wires herself and her players to an electronic muscle stimulation system which triggers strange, paroxysmal movements via electrical impulses. She creates compositions which define the minute muscle movements involved in performing pieces of music and transmits this data back to her players via MIDI. For this concert she presents one purely involuntary composition, two co-composed works (with Jim Sclavunos and Kyle Sanna) which also include voluntary players, and a work for solo piano. Following this performance there will be a post-show talk. Sonica 2013 Artist in Residence. Supported by the Australian Council for the Arts.

Whispers is a ceramic sound sculpture of five larger-than-life trumpets – blue and gleaming – floating in a semi-darkened room.

The different resonance frequencies of each trumpet form a pentatonic system that is central to the installation. The trumpets spout words, laughter and noise as you map your own auditory route within this three-dimensional soundscape to find out each trumpet’s unique meaning.

Truce is an interactive sound installation exploring a mosquito’s natural synchronisation behaviour highlighting

the musical interactions between insect and computer.

When male mosquitoes change their buzzing frequency to synchronise and match that of a female mosquito, this enhances the mosquitoes’ ability to copulate mid-flight. The computer produces a stimulus sound derived from the North Indian classical vocal tradition of Dhrupad and three mosquitoes independently tune their buzz to the sound.

For Sonica, American-born composer George Higgs brings his musical door to Glasgow. Two musicians push the Door through Tramway, stopping periodically to perform their musical composition. The Door is a barrier - yet paradoxically - the musicians communicate musically from cello to bells, gongs to slit drums and cymbals. Listen… at the door.
sonic art for the visually minded. Ravishing the senses with acoustics, psychoacoustics, electronics, noise, music, audio, media, sound, explorations of the human body, sculpture and technology.

Raydale Dower will create a new installation exploring sonic form, spatial composition and duration. The Eye of the Duck references the ideas and work of the cult film director David Lynch as well as highlighting Lynch’s longstanding musical collaboration with the composer Angelo Badalamenti, who is most noted for his works: Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive.
Sonica 2013 invites you to a cardboard box lunchtime adventure - full of sounds, tastes and smells. A bespoke moment just for you - the solo lunchtime muncher.
Hidden behind treats and sweets a performance unfolds in the most unlikely of places. A series of unique lunchbox performances created by multidisciplinary artist and Cryptic Associate Josh Armstrong.
The Eye of the Duck is a Cryptic Commission for Sonica 2013.
Sold on a first come first served basis, early booking is recommended at cca-glasgow.com or 0141 352 4900. Lunchbox is a Cryptic Commission for Sonica 2013.

Following the success of Tales of Magical Realism Part I and II, The Escapement is the third and final part of the trilogy. Inspired by Cryptic Associate Sven Werner’s film Oculista, and featuring music by Graeme Miller, The Escapement explores the flow of time and invites the audience to choose between two parallel worlds. In one world you are the voyeur of dreams, reminiscent of Wim Wender’s Wings of Desire. The other world you will discover...

CRYPTIC NEEDS YOU! Cryptic 2014: Twenty years of ravishing the senses. Next year we are celebrating Cryptic’s 20th anniversary of many unique, high quality and memorable productions enjoyed in Scotland and internationally including Parallel Lines, Black over Red, Orlando and most recently Sonica. With your help, we would like you to join us in celebrating this achievement in an even bigger way. Over ten new projects are being planned for next year with our highlight being Sound to Sea, a large-scale outdoor performance on the River Clyde. Sound to Sea – presented by Glasgow-based charities Cryptic and Glasgow Science Centre – will include live music, fireworks and aerial dance in a performance as part of the Commonwealth Games and Glasgow’s 2014 Cultural Programme. Only a range of gifts from the modest to the hugely generous will allow us to make this highly visible water performance spectacular – this is where we need you. If you would like to support us and become a part of the creation of a legacy for Glasgow please contact Cathie Boyd, Artistic Director, at cathie@cryptic.org.uk. Thank you.
