The ZVO.ČI.TI so.und.ing DUO series is a multiannual music performative project connecting international and Slovene sound artists and performers through the research, presentation and mapping of new sound practices, structures and methods in the frame of residency programmes and in accordance with CONA strategies. ZVO.ČI.TI so.und.ing DUO constitutes a platform enabling improved conditions for continual international cooperation and exchange between artists, artist production and artist concert presentations of new sound works, while at the same time presenting Ljubljana as an important sound production and creative-networking crossroads.
The sound compositions by the invited Slovene and international artists will be created by way of collaboration in a studio in Ljubljana and by utilising long-distance collaboration tools. The premiere of all-new sound works as well as performances of individual compositions will focus on presenting a wide range of artistic sound practices and a range of possible researches and approaches to sound, composing, the meaning of collaboration, the exchange of ideas and playing with performative potentials. ZVO.ČI.TI so.und.ing DUO series aims at establishing relational conditions and increasing listening sensibility through the experiencing of space and the commons. To borrow a quote from Brandon Labelle,“Sound is not only material, but a means for staging performative events that generate relational narratives and the making of shared space.”

Kino Šiška, Komuna Hall
Programme:
Colin Black: Soundprints: Likenesses of Ljubljana (2014)
Soundprints: Likenesses of Ljubljana is the fourth in a series of major works where Black continues his artistic process of building a multi-faceted intimate aural geography in which the human imprint is present. Constructed from audio recordings made during the middle of the Slovenian winter in 2014, this work explores the notion of interiority through the inner aspects of personal thoughts and by alluding to the inward dimensions of localities that can be uncovered even within various exterior sonic environments.
Miha Ciglar: Ultrasonic Haptics Project (2010–2014)
UHP is a performance based on “no input mixing board” feedback concepts, involving the new “Syntact” musical interface, which provides contact-free tactile feedback to the musician. By utilizing airborne ultrasound, a force field is created in mid-air that can be sensed and manipulated in a tactile way.
Colin Black and Miha Ciglar: Black Brick (2014)
Black Brick is an experimental electro-acoustic performance aiming to merge field recordings with analog electronic feedbacks in real time. The authors are exploring different ways of enabling the co-existence of as well as a dialogue between these extremely different audio aesthetics – abstract, artificial oscillations on the one hand, and concrete real world sounds on the other.
