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.

3. Work in progress (dur. 10 min.)
Composer / performer: Yrjänä Sauros 4. Moving Safe (dur. 10 min)
Kiero Kollektiivi performance group (The Twisted Collective)
Programme note: “Moving safe” is a journey through violent nightmares and feelings of detachment towards a new sense of community and love between people. The performance plays with the images stemming from sound, movement and human behaviour. Moving safe is based on live performance and pre-constructed sound ambience.
Kiero Kollektiivi (The Twisted Collective) is an open arts community and performance group based in Helsinki. It was founded in the spring of 2008 by dance artists Johanna Laamanen, Pauliina Motturi and Veera Westerholm. Kiero Kollektiivi’s performance art projects combine contemporary dance, theatre and media art. The collective’s first project was a short video entitled Otteita elämänhautaamien päiväkirjasta (“Excerpts from the Diary of Those Buried By Life”), filmed in spring 2008. Kiero kollektiivi’s newest member is dance artist Said Dakash, who joined the group in autumn 2008. | |
