Eveline Vervliet is a Belgian composer living in Hamburg. In her work, she explores the interplay between musicians and technology, as well as between humans and animals. Her current practice revolves around memory, erasure and composing with transience. For the exhibition, she is developing a new site-specific sound work, As your voice will (dis)appear, perhaps, in which she explores the idea of what will become of our (digital) voices in the event of future erasure. Vervliet will create a digital ecosystem of voices – a system that simultaneously grows and destroys itself. Via a website, visitors to the exhibition or via a QR code will have the opportunity to record their own voice and feed it into a digital database. These will be supplemented by fictional recordings of extinct animal species. Gradually, the files will be sent through an algorithm that analyses and degrades the audio recordings. After a certain number of repetitions and reinterpretations, the file will ‘die’ and remain as a fossil part of the ecosystem that resounds in the exhibition space.

Felix Mayer is active in the field of experimental music as a trombonist, composer and sound artist. In bands, collectives and ad hoc groups, he explores the boundaries of improvisational and instrumental practice, engaging with alternative forms of notation such as text and game pieces, video scores and improvisational concepts. Together with artists from the fields of literature, dance, film and performance, he creates radiophonic formats, installation-based radio plays and concert installations. Site-specific and often multi-channel sound installations explore the associative and sound-design potential of everyday objects such as tin cans, oil drums and rubbish bins.
