Sound Park Austria - New Age double bill
Rhodri Davies (UK) - Solo Harp & Electronics
Harpist Rhodri Davies works in the field of new, experimental and improvised music. He explores noise, live electronics, silence, texture and abstract sound. For this exclusive solo performance, Davies will engage the audience in a mixture of written and improvised material.
Mia Zabelka (Aut) - Solo Violin
Mia Zabelka's new solo project, 'Canta il Corpo Elettrico', focuses on the development of experimental improvisational techniques with the voice and electric violin, a process she calls "automatic playing". She explores the relationships between the body, gesture, sound, machines and space using live electronics and her laptop to expand the electro-acoustic sonic spectrum.
