A Co-production of DeutschlandRadio Berlin and Ö1 Kunstradio
The German sound and radio artist Felix Kubin and the
experimental electronic artist Wojtek Kucharczyk from Poland meet
for a noisy national match in several sets, patching very typical,
striking elements of their respective culture and confronting these
with eachother. Annulment of borderlines. It's all about getting to
know eachother without diplomacy - soundwise referring to
traditions like gang fights, disputes, and posing: Besides sounds
of everyday life, as well as chopped political pitches, street
sounds, from bars, clubs, and underground shafts, also randomly
picked up material and short fragments of music from one's own
cultural heritage are used to outgo the other player by means of
wit, inventiveness, speed or simply by acting as a loudmouth. Just
like with pinball or computer games, an acoustic signal defines
when it's time to take turns; it's also possible to overlay
different sound sources. Right in the sense of a collage-like
musique-concrète, the noisy, the experimental elements are focused
on.
Territerrortorium is a project by the Syndikat für Gegenlärm.
Artists' statement:
"Felix Kubin and Wojtek Kucharczyk share a passion for noise and
electro-pop in virtro. In the piercing laboratory of the
Syndikat für Gegenlärm (syndicate for
counter-noise), they dissolve the border between Germany and Poland
in order to skirmish a sound-battle in between, in Nobodyland.
Whilst looting one's own cultural trash, everything that utters
sonicly, is brought onto the stage of international understanding,
from talking crosswalks to Slav dogs' barking, to anthems without
bottom brackets. Prejudices rage in the German-Polish forests. But
anyway, Kucharczyk and Kubin act in a sense of punk rather
than in diplomacy: First shout, and don't regret."
