NeoArte – Synthesizer of Arts is an international festival presenting the most interesting trends in contemporary music and art.
In the contemporary landscape, the edges between different creative arts are getting more and more figurative. Composers write pieces for video-art and visual artists create sound installations. It is getting harder to differentiate, yet connections and finding common grounds becomes easy. We are acting a bit like radar – trying to identify these changes – a bit like sonar – navigating the unexplored areas. Like a Synthesizer of Arts – creating new qualities.

Presentation of electronic music created by the participants of workshops for kids
Curator: Krzysztof Arszyn Topolski
During the workshop on listening to sounds and creating field recordings, the participants created their own electronic compositions. These mini-works will be presented to the audience gathered in Kulturkirken Jakob.

ANIA KARPOWICZ – Tova
Program:
Marta Śniady (PL) – 4 Rituals of Women’s Happiness 2.0 for flute, live electronics & video (2020)

Teoniki Rożynek (PL) – SCREAM for flute, live electronics & video (2020)
Aleksandra Kaca (PL) – Inner for flute, live electronics & video (2020)
TOVA — The cyber flute recital is the result of close cooperation between the flutist Ania Karpowicz and young composers: Marta Śniady, Nina Fukuoka, Aleksandra Kaca and Teoniki Rożynek.
Each of the artists, taking up the topic of searching for the sources of one’s identity, has put her personal experiences into the works and interpretations, which — as it happened — are experiences of women.

DARIUSZ MAZUROWSKI – Artificial Coexistence
Artificial Coexistence concert program is a sonic impression on uncontrolled flow of time, which is
essentially a means to measure events, ordered from the past through the present into the future.
This is our knowledge and experience of time, according to the linear concept. But what if it would
be possible to travel across multidimensional spacetime? Maybe time is not linear, but a much more
complex mechanism? That is the question… Anyway, my goal is not to affix any specifically
detailed description, but to encourage evocations in the listener. This electroacoustic performance
involves live electronics and live sound diffusion combined with acousmatic textures, complex
hybrid processing and many other techniques.
20.00 – Kirke
TROND REINHOLDTSEN – Einzelgänger

PARALLAX & HEATHER FRASCH
Reconfigured Objects
“Reconfigured Objects” is a new collaborative work between Parallax and the electroacoustic composer and performer Heather Frasch, where everyday objects are combined with traditional instruments to create new soundscapes. Everyday objects will be set into motion with motors and vibrating surfaces, attached and hanging by threads so that the kinetic motions are used as sonic material. Electronic circuits and software manipulate and transform the sound of the objects based on the performer’s interaction and will also be extended through the sonic palette of traditional instruments. The compositional thread uniting all the objects will, to some extent, be based on objects with specific memories for the performers, which gives the work a human perspective that connects the old, the hidden and the secret.
