Vienna-based musician and filmmaker Billy Roisz has been a driving force in the experimental music scene for many years. Self-taught, she stems from the extremely open DIY environment of the digital and analog electronic and noise scene in Vienna at the beginning of the 21st century. She has earned critical acclaim for her artistic work, which ranges from the cinematic to pure audio works. Her first solo release Walking The Monkey dates back to 2012 (Editions Mego) and in 2023 she released her successor Bajo on Ventil Records. The aesthetics of image and sound glitches, such as feedback and distortion, are central to her sense of experimentation. Chiseled frequencies mingle with crackling soundscapes, granular image noise with throbbing pulses and restless rhythms – all carefully balanced with compositional delicacy.

Martin Howse is occupied with an investigation of the links between the earth (geological and geophysical phenomena), software and the a/human psyche (psychogeophysics) through the construction of experimental situations (performance, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works, instruments, fictions, texts and software. His current project »Orphans and voids« remains as a headless divination for obscure Eurorack assemblages (ERD/TOAD, caput draconis and all the colours of the noise), for scattered concrete modules, including dismembered macros, printed circuit incense clocks, micro-pulsed laser, dusty CPUs, and ill programmed, ill abstracted, ill simulated neurons.
– The orphans are the last two Earth Branches (xu and hai), the two that remain after the Ten Stems are combined with the first ten branches. The voids are their two opposites plotted on a circle: the stems chen and si. [Lisa Raphals]
– The only place where the two systems link is at the hole in the centre, which means that they link in a nowhere, or in a hole. This mysterious hole between the two worlds is in a one-sided way also represented in the Chinese incense clock. [Marie-Louise von Franz]

Entangled Sounds is a series organized by Karin Weissenbrunner to explore object-specific sounds, resonant bodies and (meta-)mechanical motion, featuring performers using self-made instruments or materialities of audio/media reproduction.
