BellengerBorn in Germany, Barbara trained as a violinmaker in Italy and shifted between instrument making and music in Madrid, Spain. She started film making in Java and moving to London, shlepping along her best Spanish amigas, gave her the possibility to train in earnest as an editor and complete her studies with an MA in screenwriting.
She journeys between film making, instrument making, music, London, Spain and Germany, never sure whether leaving or arriving home
Andy Guhl (*1952, St. Gallen, Switzerland) is a pioneer sound artist
and one of the fathers of European electronic experimental music. As
part of the music formation Voice Crack and Poire_Z, he has strongly
influenced multiple generations of musicians and artists of the
international underground and noise movements. With over 30 released
albums as well as performances and exhibitions in over 20 countries,
Andy Guhl continues his prolific artistic production despite a widely
publicized split from partner Norbert Möslang in 2002.
Andy Guhl started his career in 1972 in improvisational free jazz
together with Norbert Möslang. In 1983 they started cracking daily
electronics and developed it to the cracked everyday electronics. By
manipulating these objects to produce sounds, they broke down the
traditional barrier between daily items and musical instruments and
their acoustic perception. In the1990s the duo expanded their reach
into visual representation of acoustic phenomena with several
installations, including the "Sound Shifting" installation they
presented at the Venice Biennial 2001 upon invitation of the Swiss Art
Council. Since 2002 Andy Guhl has branched out on his own with ever
more innovative installations using audio-visual feedback in analogue
electronic systems which he calls "The Instrument", the expanded
cracked everyday electronics. "For me physics is a musical building
block," says Andy Guhl, "to allow you to also see what you're hearing."
"Hail the Failure of Urban Planning,"
2:07 min, video, colour, sound, 2007
Hail the Failure of Urban Planning captures the persistent assault endured
by urban dwellers as they perform the daily rituals necessary to exist in
the modern city. It is a possibility of creation and constraint through a
visual movement as an urban dweller. Accompanying the visual movement is a
text of tenets of urban practice, both sincere and ironic.

Geist is a short film generated from a piece of music by the artist Patten. The audio is very dynamic in terms of it's stereo field as well it's ampilitude. This lent itself perfectly to the technique of producing spatial representations of sounds on an oscilloscope. The left channel of the audio was routed to the x axis and the right channel to the y axis. In addition, the amplitude of the audio was used to control the frequency of a square wave of appoximately 20hz which was then used to modulate the z axis (brightness) resulting in the dotted patterns visible. These Lissajous-esq shapes and figures directly correspond to the original audio track in terms of frequency and volume levels and are a direct interpretation of the music.

short bio:
I was born in a small town in the middle of West Germany. Beautiful nature, but boring after a while... I moved to Berlin and studied art. Fell in love with my super 8 camera (Nizo) in 1988. Since then I try to be a particle-finder, a wave-catcher and a good story-teller. I carry my super 8 camera with me travelling, walking around, eyes open and antennas upright. I try to absorb weird beautiful things from this world. Chew them and spit them out again

11 Nona 'Interstitial Petticoats' The collective Bisset/Veliotis/Beins since 2003 forming artwork both visual oral and literary hereby cunningly inserting black silence between the more prolix offerings of others. Each of the 9 Chapters of their dark ruminations lasts precisely 14.777777777777777777777777777778 seconds.
The group became famous in the 1980's when they made millions having gained the copyright on the gaps between an audience's settling down and the musicians beginning playing. Royalties from tonight will go to the Musician's Deafaid Fund (Palestine branch).
The trio has recently completed their ‘Nothing to Declare’ World Tour of custom posts .
