Nomadism is a spatial sound performance by PHØNIX16 that explores sound and its migration.
Nomadism is the way in which one crosses the plane of immanence and the many becomings; in fact, nomadism exceeds the ancient rhetoric of the subject because its disposition/disposif belongs to the multiple and to the environment in which it can unfold. Migration is the radical interpretation of a mobile society.
The program contrasts the radical work of Slovenian-French composer Vinko Globokar, Airs de voyages vers l'intérieur — in which Balkan rhythms break through the idioms of avantgarde musical language, culminating in a pseudo ritual dance by the singers — with the sensual and poetic Marian Antiphons by Ukrainian composer Maxim Kolomiiets, who lives in Leipzig.
Commissioned by the festival, Amol-Born World Citizen Samir TimajChi’s piece “/toʊ/” reflects a state of emptiness and loss. Finally, the program includes a collective composition, Transmission with Katalin, for singer and electronics, in reference to the legendary serbo-hungarian poet and performance artist Katalin Ladik, who expanded the boundaries of poetic expression through extended vocal techniques, concrete poetry and a recourse to archaic forms of folklore.
