EIN AUDIOVISUELLER TRIP NACH ISLAND

KONRAD KORABIEWSKI (PL/DK/IS):
Konrad Korabiewski ist preisgekrönter experimenteller Klang- und Medienkünstler, den eine ausgeprägte Tendenz zur Überschreitung der Grenzen zwischen verschiedenen Genres und Medien kennzeichnet. »FJARÐARHEIÐI« ist der Name einer 25 km langen Bergstraße in Island. Auf diesem oft heimtückischen Pass herrschen dichter Nebel, Wind, Regen und Schneestürme. Der FJARÐARHEIÐI befindet sich im ständigen »White-Out«, nur einige wenige Frequenzen sind noch hör- und sichtbar. Mit Field Recordings, selbst gebauter Elektronik, analogen Aufnahmen, Feedback- Systemen und monochromen Zwei-Kanal-Fotomontagen von Anna Friz nimmt uns Korabiewski mit nach Island. Eine Performance von großer emotionaler Tiefe – mal düster, mal meditativ, aber immer von höchster Intensität.

AN AUDIOVISUAL TRIP TO ICELAND

KONRAD KORABIEWSKI (PL/DK/IS): FJARÐARHEIÐI is taken from the name of the 25 km mountain pass which connects the village of Seyðisfjörður to the nearest town of Egilsstaðir, East Iceland. On this often treacherous road, the visual and acoustic environments are transformed by dense fog, wind, rain, and snow storms, effecting a perceptual state of white-out or black-out leaving only an aftergrain. If afterglow refers to the light or luminance left in the sky after sundown, aftergrain is the sonic and visual grit that remains when most other frequencies are subtracted. Created together with Skálar | Sound Art | Experimental Music member Anna Friz, FJARÐARHEIÐI reflects the extreme oscillation between daylight and darkness characteristic of life over the year in the far north. Korabiewski performs with field recordings, cottage-built electronics, analogue tape, and feedback systems, accompanied by Friz' monochrome two-channel photomontage.



FJARÐARHEIÐI had world premiere at the 44th Festival Nouveau Cinéma, Montréal, Québec, October 2015. Review by René-Maxime Parent for Les Méconnus: http://lesmeconnus.net/fjardarheidi-vibration-arctique Using field recordings, cottage-built electronics, analogue tape and feedback systems, Friz and Korabiewski perform live with this new piece, accompanied by Friz’ monochrome two-channel photo-montage. Together, Friz and Korabiewski craft pensive audiovisual landscapes, strongly influenced by the extreme oscillation between daylight and darkness characteristic of life over a year on the mountainous coast just below the Arctic Circle. Fjarðarheiði is taken from the name of the 25 km mountain pass which connects the village of Seyðisfjörður to the nearest town of Egilsstaðir in eastern Iceland. On this sometimes treacherous road, the visual and acoustic environments are transformed by dense fog and snow storms, effecting a perceptual flux between white-out and black-out which leaves only an aftergrain. If afterglow refers to the light or luminescence left in the sky after sundown, after-grain is the sonic and visual noise that remains when most other frequencies are subtracted.
