Both Ö1 Talent Scholarship Shortlist candidates Katrin Euller and Adina Camhy work with sound, so it made sense to invite them to develop new radio art works for Kunstradio. Together with the Austrian art universities, Ö1 was again looking for talented young artists in 2022. A grant for visual arts in the amount of 10,000 euros was awarded. In addition to sculptures, photographs or video art, sound is an important aspect in the submissions. Rent Rent is the sound project with which I have been performing live for some time. Rent focuses on harsh analog sounds as well as digital sound synthesis. In combination, this creates tracks that are somewhere in the realm of experimental music, between, noise, drone and ambient. So far I have played with Rent in an art context as well as at festivals and in clubs. Time-Sounds in Play Spaces Adina Camhy remixed the Ö1 Signations (1994-2017) designed by Werner Pirchner. Pichner's sounds, which shaped a radio era and inscribed themselves in everyday life through their repetitions, are looped, alienated, distorted and electronically processed in Camhy's contribution. Many thanks to Elfriede Pirchner and the heirs of Werner Pirchner for their permission to use the signations for the Kunstradio broadcast! Droneland Adina Camhy and Katrin Euller jointly developed a 10-minute piece. For this piece, the two sound artists traverse landscapes of Vienna's southeastern periphery together - an apparent no man's land between Lobau, Danube, oil port, logistics center, cemetery and refinery. Field recordings, synthesizer sounds and spoken word create a micro-portrait of a landscape on the edge. "Droneland" references the audio essay "On Vanishing Land" by theorists and sound artists Mark Fisher and Justin Barton (Hyperdub, 2019), in which they recall a hike along the coast of Suffollk. |
