2022 / SONDA FESTIVAL

SONDA - festival of electroacoustic music and audiovisual performances 12/11/2022 Brno Observatory and Planetarium (CZ) 

 Tomoko Sauvage (JP) David Granström (SWE) Tadej Droljc (SLO) Jiří Y. Suchánek (CZ) Tomáš Vtípil (CZ) Trychtýř (collaborative project) 

 The SONDA festival sets out to explore the vast territory of experimental electroacoustic music, live electronics, audio-visual performances and sound art and dive deep into its captivating corners. In acoustically exceptional spaces, the festival will present the work of artists who combine the medium of sound, light and moving image in an unconventional way, reflecting the latest audio-visual technologies, as well as proven analogue methods. In addition to established artists from the domestic and international scene, SONDA will provide a space for presenting artistic ideas of the emerging generation of musicians, composers, multimedia and sound artists. Many works are custom made for the festival as part of an unrestricted and non-hierarchical collaboration between artists across different disciplines. The first edition of the SONDA festival took place on 12 November 2022 at the Brno Observatory and Planetarium. Capitalizing on the specific visual and acoustic properties of the planetarium dome, the festival will feature musical performances, AV shows, light and multimedia installations and artistic interventions. The lineup of the first edition includes five foreign and local artists. The festival will also present the work of an international collective of artists brought together by the Trychtýř Project. The group, by means of jam sessions, is putting together brand-new artistic content to be presented in the form of AV performance in the planetarium building and interventions inside the premises of the observatory. The SONDA festival was born out of pure enthusiasm. It all started with a rather random encounter between an avid music nerd with no musical education (Jan Lichý) on the one hand and an established artist with rich professional experience and academic background (Jiří Y Suchánek) on the other. The synergy of this encounter gave birth to the idea of organizing a progressive interdisciplinary showcase that seeks to broaden horizons, entertain, connect, and push boundaries, and which aspires to make a great addition to the local cultural scene. 

Festival dramaturgy: Jan Lichý + Jiří Y. Suchánek  Stage design: Karolína Kohoutková Graphic design: Alina Random Video: camera + editing: Martin Dominik Kratochvíl 

 The SONDA Festival is organized by the SVITAVA - transmedia art lab z. s. with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the South Moravian Region.

TOMOKO SAUVAGE

Nagi (calm)

Composed exclusively with feedback using hydrophones, water and porcelain bowls. Feedback occurs with each bowl tuned on certain frequencies depending on the quantity of water. I manipulate with hands the balance between calm water stabilizing and accelerating feedback and waves moving and interrupting feedback tones. Feeling like I become wind…! Multi-tracked and half speeded in part.

do you have any recs for more folk-influenced women's noise projects? i really like svitlana nianio and aine o'dwyer and i'm wondering if there's more similar stuff out there

Hello there, it's a very interesting question! There's plenty of artists who mix folk with experimental/noise/contemporary. Here's a list of few I can think of right now:

There's Księżyc [x], a 90s experimental classic from Poland - it's a whole band, but fronted by two women.

Adela Mede [x] is a Czech artist creating contemporary sound collages with some folk vocals

Maryana Klochko [x] - an Ukrainian artist, her style ranges from more electroacoustic to more trip-hopy/electronic, worth checking out few of her tracks to get a range (I like the song Kvity, which kind of changes from one to another)

Tomoko Sauvage [x] - Japanese artist hugely inspired by various music folklore traditions, such as Carnatic water-bowls instrument

Julia Ulehla / dalava [x] - Czech vocalist, composer, ethnomusicologist "With her husband guitarist Aram Bajakian, she initiated a new line of performance research based on the ancestral song tradition of her father’s lineage, sourcing folk songs collected and transcribed by her great-grandfather, biologist Vladimír Úlehla".

Daina Dieva [x] - from Lithuania. Her works aren't maybe the most folklorish, but their closeness to the world of nature makes me put her in the mix

Audrey Chen [x] - Chinese-American artist mixing cello, voice and analogue synthesizers to create hauting compositions

Sainkho Namtchylak [x] - is a Tuvan experimental singer, known for using Tuvian throat singing and overtone singing named Khöömei. She mixes elements of east asian culture with genres such as avant jazz or electronica.

For more Slavic avant-folk check out this this compilation by In Crudo: [x] it's not all-women but features some inspiring women artists (Svitlana Nino and Księżyc included)

One can mix folk traditions with pretty much any genres I tried to stick to your artists of reference, but it's hard to find something *just like that* and nothing else - there are many more artists than these I've mentioned!

Tomoko Sauvage - LIVE - 18.2.7. It was an etheral experience... Only complaint was the seating, not very comfortable to sit plain on the floor. Lost full focus after about half of the show and lied down. Yet the sound was something I really needed to hear. Indeed.
