URSULA SCHERRER AND VALERIO TRICOLI: Live Video and Sound Performance
ANTOINE CHESSEX – solo
JD ZAZIE on the mix
Kindly Supported by PRO HELVETIA
The poetic quality of Scherrer’s work reminds one of moving paintings,
drawing the viewer into the images, leaving the viewer with their own
stories, transforming a landscape into a serene, abstract portrait of
rhythm, color and light, where the images have less to do with what we
see then the feeling they leave behind. Ursula Scherrer is a swiss
video artist and photographer living in New York City. Her work has
been shown in festivals, galleries and museums internationally. She
has worked with composers/musicians such as Shelley Hirsch, Michelle
Nagai, Flo Kaufmann, Kato Hideki, Domenico Sciajno, Monya Pletsch,
Michael J. Schumacher, Marina Rosenfeld, Andrea Valle, Tetsu Inoue
among others, in the creation of video and sound installations, live
performances and single channel videos. Together with Katherine
Liberovskaya, Scherrer organizes OptoSonic Tea in New York, a series
dedicated to the convergence of live visuals with live sounds.

Valerio Tricoli is a Berlin-based composer, improviser, sound
installation artist, producer, sound engineer and curator bridging
musique concrète and conceptual forms of sound with a radical interest
in how reality, virtuality and memory relate to each other during the
acoustic event. He mostly uses analogue electronic devices (reel-to-
reel tape recorders, synthesizers, microphones, light effects,
ultrasonic speakers). The structure of the setup is ever-changing
however, seeking multiple relations between the performers, the device
and the space in which the event takes place. He is one of the
founders of 3/4HadBeenEliminated and the Bowindo label/collective.
Antoine Chessex is a composer and sound artist born in 1980 in Vevey,
Switzerland, with a background as a saxophone player and performer.
His sonic researches include compositions for ensembles, solo works,
transdisciplinary collaborations and sound installations . Chessex´s
works are based on the exploration of the physicality of sounds and
spaces. His solo works feature dense layers of sustained pitches
reacting with the architecture of the space or massive clouds of
amplified sax resulting in intense live actions in total immersion in
the sound. He has presented his works worldwide and appears at
numerous international festivals and venues in the U.S.A, Russia,
Japan, China and all around Europe. Recent compositional works include
„DUST“ for 3 violins and electronics (commissioned by Pro Helvetia),
„Resonant Water“ a site specific piece for acoustic ensemble,
„Metakatharsis“ commissioned by the Phoenix Ensemble in Basel (2011),
„CHUTE“ commissioned by the Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin (2011) as
well as numerous electronic music pieces. Collaborations with
musicians like Lasse Marhaug, Zbigniew Karkowski, Maja Ratkje, Chris
Corsano, Jerome Noetinger, Ilios, Valerio Tricoli, C. Spencer Yeh,
Axel Dörner, Hans Koch, Robin Hayward, Thomas Ankersmit, Lucio Capece,
Dave Phillips, Kasper Toeplitz, Burkhard Beins, Monno, Didi Bruckmayr,
architect Christian Waldvogel and media artist Ulrike Gabriel.

JD Zazie is an italian sound artist and recordist based in Berlin.
Coming from a DJ and a radiophonic background, JD Zazie has explored
over the years different approaches of real-time manipulation on fixed
recorded sound.
In her work she redefines DJ and electroacoustic activities.
As a solo performer, in small groups or large ensembles she moves in
an area which is constantly stretching the borders of what is supposed
to be DJ mixing, free improvisation and composed music.
