Ars Acustica Group

(http://www.ebu.ch/en/radio/euroradio_classics/arsacustica/artsbirthday.php)

In 2009 the Ars Acustica (AA) group is joining the international Art's Birthday Parties already for the 5th time. This year the Ars Acustica is celebrating Art’s Birthday on January 16th - the evening before the birthday. Radio artists are involved by the members of the group to focus on the saying “Safe and Sound”. In a rapidly changing and increasingly unforeseeable world, safety has become a major concern on many levels of public and private life. The double meaning of the word sound as acoustic phenomenon and as synonym for good health points to the role of the aural sense and the voice as crucial devices of human self-perception.

The Ars Acustica Group has joined the international Art’s Birthday parties in 2004. Since then it organizes the contributed contents like most of the participants of the Art’s Birthday Network (http://artsbirthday.net) do - as "presents" for ART. Via ISDN-lines and/or the Internet the contributions are collected at two points, in Vienna (ORF) and Stockholm (SR), where they are sent to the two EBU satellite channels Ravel (R) and Verdi (V). Both satellite channels (R and V) offer “ready-to-broadcast” materials along with signature-tunes and broadcast-identifications. Both channels can also be further mixed or remixed with other live-material.

Dimitri Coppe will be performing a specially Unsafe Sounds composition Dimitri Coppe (Brussel, Belgium, 1969) Dimitri Coppe is a solo musician for ten years, mainly in acousmatic composition but also in electronic improvisation, sound installations and collaborations for radio, cinema and dance. It is not sound or noise or digital concepts that lie at the heart of his music, but the imperfect and human gesture in particular that is achieved. It is not technologies or technique or even sound fantasy on which he focuses his work, but rather the listening, individual and sensitive. There are no records, only public and collective listenings, only performances using his own concert system (a home-made instrument of around fifty loudspeakers) for producing real acoustic substance throughout the entire listening space. His latest performances were given at Maison de RadioFrance (Paris), NTMoFA (Taiwan), Archipel (Geneva), Camac (France) and Brigittines (Brussels).
