SUMMARY:Acousmo: Charles kwong\, Sharon Chan\,  Feyz
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 21:00\nConcerts: 21:30 \nAddress: Allmendstrasse 93\, 8041 Zürich \, Halle D\, First Floor \nAcousmo is a concert and sound art series focused on intentional listening. It offers a space for concentrated engagement with live sound and aims to counter the fast and superficial consumption of music. In this cycle\, Acousmo introduces a new format: each evening begins with two solo performances by musicians or sound artists that are curated by the community. These are followed by an improvised set where both artists perform together. \n  \n \nfeyz (ZH / ) \nfeyz (emre sar.) comes from Istanbul\, Turkey and is since 2009 based in Zürich\, Switzerland. Since an early age he has been engaged in improvised musical practices as a bass player and middle eastern instruments. Having a keen interest in electronics and computer science\, he stepped into the world of synthesizers and modular electronics which lead him to develop his style combining microtonal music and electroacoustic improvisation\, and explores rhythmic\, harmonic or atonal patterns by use of analog synths and acoustic instruments that intervene and mix into one another in noisier and quieter ways.He started performing actively since founding the duo fezayafirar together with f:rar (melih sar) in 2012. He is currently active in the improved and electronic music scenes mainly in Switzerland\, and is working in collaboration with labels such as Attenuation Circuit (Augsburg)\, Endtitles (Zürich). \nSharon Chan \nSharon Chan is a Hong Kong-born performer working across music and theatre\, with a particular focus on the theremin. She has studied the instrument under Carolina Eyck since 2022 and brings a strong physical presence shaped by her training in physical theatre. Collaborating closely with composer Charles Kwong\, Chan explores new possibilities of sound and performance\, developing a distinctive stage language that weaves together movement\, embodiment and experimental music. \nCharles Kwong (ZH / CHN) \nPhoto by Chee (IG @chaurism) \nCharles kwong is a composer from Hong Kong whose practice approaches music as collective experiential situations – within\, but also beyond\, listening and sounds.His creative output spans orchestral music\, collaborations with performers across diverse musical cultures\, site-specific and transdisciplinary projects that depart from the conventional concert paradigm\, and the exploration of performativity in electronic sound synthesis. Rituals\, fictionality\, chaotic systems\, nonhuman temporality\, social ordering in performances\, and intertextuality and hauntology arising from classical forms are some recurring core preoccupations that underpin his creative process and agenda across different media. \nKwong’s music has been featured at festivals such as Lucerne Forward\, Ultraschall Berlin\, Takefu\, Ticino Musica\, La Roque d’Anthéron\, Marvão and ManiFeste. Recent commissioners include the Lucerne Festival\, Takefu International Music Festival\, Hong Kong Sinfonietta\, Ensemble Recherche\, Hong Kong New Music Ensemble\, Tai Kwun Contemporary\, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Acousmo: Marina mello\, Khabat Abbas
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 20:30\nConcerts: 21:30 \nAddress: Allmendstrasse 93\, 8041 Zürich \, Halle D\, First Floor \nAcousmo is a concert and sound art series focused on intentional listening. It offers a space for concentrated engagement with live sound and aims to counter the fast and superficial consumption of music. In this cycle\, Acousmo introduces a new format: each evening begins with two solo performances by musicians or sound artists that are curated by the community. These are followed by an improvised set where both artists perform together. \n  \n Photo by Philip Frowein\nMarina mello (ZH) \nMarina Mello is a Brazilian harpist based in Zurich with a wide range of experience as a musician. She has developed a unique and very expressive style through the harp and its infinite possibilities. In this sense\, she presents her artistic journey\, mainly researching new sound textures through paradoxes between emptiness and noisy textures\, and harmonic and random-spontaneous vertical sounds. Focusing on non-traditional ways of playing – with extended technique\, prepared instrument and with effect pedals (hybrid\, acoustic and electric harps)\, Marina believes that as a woman and a harpist there are many stereotypes and expectations that can and should be disrupted. In 2022\, she graduated with honors with a Master’s degree at ZHdK (Zurich University of arts) under the guidance of Professor Sarah O’Brien (classical harp)\, Lucas Niggli (improvisation practices)\, Ariana Savall (renascence music) and Charlotte Hug (transdisciplinary practices). \n  \n  \n Photo by Joe Christman\n  \nKhabat Abbas(LDN) \nKhabat Abas is a cellist\, composer\, and interdisciplinary artist from Kurdistan-Iraq. Her work investigates time\, space\, and memory through music\, and noise. She is particularly interested in how we experience sound within different geopolitical contexts. Abas pushes the boundaries of her instrument—improvising\, composing\, producing videos and sound installations\, building cellos from unconventional materials\, and incorporating the body as an instrument. Through this practice\, she fuses politics with the personal\, challenging dominant values and systems of control.
