Presented for the first time in Berlin \u2018Mark Fell \u2013 Eight Rectangular Waveshapes (2007)\u2019<\/p>\n
Mark Fell\u00a0is a multidisciplinary artist based in Sheffield (UK). After studying experimental film and video art at the local polytechnic he reverted to earlier interests in computational technology, music and synthetic sound. In 1998 he initiated a series of critically acclaimed record releases, featuring both collaborative and solo works, on labels including Mille Plateaux, Line, Editions Mego, Raster Noton and Alku. Fell is widely known for combining popular music styles, such as electronica and techno, with more academic approaches to computer-based composition with a particular emphasis on algorithmic and mathematical systems. His recent musical practice has become increasingly informed by non-Western musics, this is evident in two linked works \u201cMultistablity\u201d and \u201cUL8\u201d which explore a number of unfamiliar timing and tuning systems. Uncut magazine called these \u201ccompletely mind-blowing\u201d and the Wire magazine said these were \u201camazing\u201d. As well as recorded works Fell produces installation pieces often using multiple speaker systems. Although well versed in the use of ambisonics, his work in this area is characterised by \u2018non-illusion based\u2019 approaches where multiple waveshapes are spatially distributed to form complex synthetic sonic environments. The diversity and importance of Fell\u2019s practice is reflected in the range and scale of international institutions that present his work \u2013 from large super clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), to Hong Kong National Film archive and many others. Fell has received commissions from prestigious institutions including Francesca Von Habsburg\u2019s Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (Vienna) with a premier at Seville Biennale of Art, and the National Ballet of Madrid have performed to his works. He has been recognised by ARS Electronica (Linz) with an Honorary mention in the digital musics category, and was shortlisted for the Quartz award for his contribution to research in digital music. In addition to his creative practice Fell has been involved in a number of academic research projects ranging from computer science to musicology, and as a curator Fell is widely recognised for his contribution to the development of experimental electronic music in Europe.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.markfell.com\/wiki\/<\/a><\/p>\n Grischa Lichtenberger\u00a0(born 1983) is an electronic music producer, visual and installation artist living in berlin. Grown up in a withdrawn farmhouse near bielefeld (westphalia), his artistic approach developed from surveying the landscape as reference for the condition of art production itself. landscape, in this sense, is understood not only as the picturesque or sublime recreational facility of nature, but as an interaction between the traces of biographical history and the material concreteness of the present surroundings.
\nThe aggressive tone in his sound design has its counterpart in an emotional depth of the musical structure \u2013 a hermetic idiosyncrasy of rhythm and melodies that implement a personal handwriting into the arrangement and sculpture of the sound elements. The music aims towards a paradoxic parallelism of introspective moods on the dance floor and unsettling contemplations in an intimate listening situation. Tumbling between funky, highly energetic beats and trembling, concerning melodies, an almost tactile honesty reaches out to the individual listener. technology appears not as the perfect, mathematically defined form, but as an index of failure and error, as a shadow of the spooking despairs and desires of its producer, engraved in the finiteness of the concrete form to be embraced by the attentive.
\nIn 2009, he released his ep \u00bb~treibgut\u00ab as part of the unun series on raster-noton, followed by his debut album \u00bband iv (inertia)\u00ab in 2012. He has played audiovisual live sets in international festivals and realized several commissioned installations on both local and international sites.<\/p>\n
