From one of my very, very, very favourite movies ever! Amelie. If you want to know what I'm like, watch the movie. I've had many people watch it and tell me it reminded me of them! It's true. Even when I watched it I was a little surprised! Actually, I'm going to watch it now!

Stranger #19 – Philip by Francesca Galea

Philip is from Congo and he’s been living in Malta for 5 years. I was immediately struck by his elegant style and there’s something about the tie and his whole look which I particularly like. Certainly not the typical dress code one would find at a Sunday market!

so it's true; bobcat billy's back by jennifer blakeslee

traipsing through the woods looking for nails and waterfalls, we saw this and stopped in our tracks. the hobo marking on the tree was fresh, sap seeping through the scratchy wounds.

it was true.

famed local hobo and rogue whittler bobcat "billy" berensen had returned, after years hiding out up north in elba. we tried to track him, and even thought we saw a flash of tweed through a window's slats at the abandoned electric blanket factory. but bobcat was quick, and the trail quickly went cold. so we stopped at a convenience store and, knowing of his food allergies, we left him a plate of ladyfingers, liver and blackberry jam.

stay warm tonight, bobcat, wherever you are.

ANDRE VIDA

Andre Vida (b.1974) is a Hungarian American saxophonist, composer and lyricist living in Berlin. Vida has been at the forefront of several major developments in experimental music, including his membership in Anthony Braxton’s original Ghost Trance Ensemble, his recent world record of 403 half hour performances at the Serpentine Gallery responding to Anri Sala's film Long Sorrow, performances with The Tower Recordings, and his extensive collaborations with electronic music visionaries Jamie Lidell, Tim Exile, Kevin Blechdom, and Rashad Becker.

Vida has developed a series of philosophical approaches to improvisation using restrictive costumes, animated graphics based score installations, and self made instruments. His solo saxophone pieces are the culmination of this focused improvisational thought, combining the theatrical aspects of his body, instrument, and voice.

For his Ohrengala performance Vida will extend his experiments with physical restriction by integrating a simple touch composition idea in collaboration with Letizia Monae.

Recently he presented 'Brud: Volumes I-III' (PAN 20), a three volume compilation of recordings from 1995 to 2011 now available at PAN label, morphing seamlessly between a sense of total irreverence and the sublime.

tbc (HH)

"tbc is Thomas Beck (ex-H64), operator of the Hamburg based Wachsender Prozess label and long-established sound artist, known from several solo releases, "mail music projects" and collaborations with Brume, Asmus Tietchens, Das Synthetische Mischgewebe, etc, during the past 15+ years."

tbc started in the early 80's to make his own sound as H 6 4. Franz de Waard of Vital called his music as some of the hardest music in Europe. Activities in the Cassettemusicscene with two Labels (DDT-Tapes and EX) and also in the so called Mailart Network.

Running "Wachsender Prozess" with smartman Stickel: for noise culture based sounds. Together with Günter Reznicek (Nova Huta) und Felix Knoth (Felix Kubin, Klangkrieg) they publish the magazine (Odradek) about Electroacoustic and Electronic Music.

About his music: "a methodical landscape constructed via fieldrecordings (no input mixer), composed elements and a consequent forms of creating noise walls with different inner structured fine tones. "

For Ohrengala, Tbc will offer a surrealistic, electro-acoustic harsh noise piece. It ranges from the disharmonic to the harmonics of spiritual high level to the idiotic machine music, in which the machine is a symbol of godlike perfection."

BENJAMIN L. AMAN

A french sound & visual artist born in Rouen. Through different medias : drawings, installations, recordings, writings, actions, Aman's work finds its place in between different levels of perception, combining a physical, a mental and an emotional approach. As a sound performer Aman uses analog electronics, tape works, lights, space, actions, and static compositions, considering the live situation as a blank sheet of paper.

For Ohrengala, Aman will show a new piece called AG 30-320, a work exploring space by using action and confrontation as a princip of resistance. AG 30-320 intends to define limits between different states of consciousness and psychogeographical disorders, using sound as a princip of gravity.
