On Saturday 28 September, GROND members and friends get together for an Improvisation – Electronic Music concert. The live-electronics performer and GROND member Vinkepeezer (Ivo Bol) is performing together with the saxophone and suling player Yukari Uekawa from Japan. The same evening, the Athens-based electronic music artist Anna-Maria Rammou is bringing to Amsterdam her live-electronics set for a solo performance. Finally we close the evening with the audiofivual live performance “Solarization” by KTONIOS (Davide Ghelli Santuliana) and Cem Altınöz, inspired by the concept of “meridian demons” that among ancient Mediterranean civilizations manifested at midday, emerging from the abyss.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Anna-Maria Rammou (AMR) is a sound artist and composer of electronic music based in Athens (GR). She creates site-specific compositions for live performances. Her work has been released on cassette in various labels, most notably by the Parisian imprint “Vice de Forme”. She has written music for the award-winning short film animation Pulsión (2019) by Pedro Casavecchia. Her sound is characterised by noise and electroacoustic elements. She uses analog gear as well as programming languages to produce sound and processes live sound derived from semi modular synthesisers, acoustic instruments and field recordings. She is a resident host on a bimonthly radio show at stegi.radio.
Vinkepeezer (Ivo Bol) reworks found sounds, lost tapes, old and live electronics and excess sounds from vinyl records into new musical constellations. Vinkepeezer’s third record ‘Everything is a frequency”, inspired by spirituality and conspiracy thinking, is released in October on Kazemat records.
Yukari Uekawa is a classical trained saxophonist. Yukari has a passion for contemporary dance, Indonesian Gamelan music and improvisation. She has recently been active as an improvisator, incorporating the movements of Butoh and Japanese traditional dance into her own unique sound.
KTONIOS is the artistic research and musical project of multimedia artist Davide Ghelli Santuliana, a project that translates the folk music from Southern Italy into a swarm of noise, industrial sounds, techno, acid melodies, reverberating loops and ambient digressions.
Cem Altınöz (1993, İstanbul, TR) works and plays with images and texts. As a multi-media artist, he investigates the role of imagery and image-making in one’s self-representation, self-reproduction, and self-destruction.
KTONIOS and Cem presents together Solarization, an audiovisual performance inspired by the concept of “meridian demons” that among ancient Mediterranean civilizations manifested at midday, emerging from the abyss.
