We are happy to announce the first confirmed artist for APPARAT
Those in love with the art of sounds (and noise ! ) can already count the days until Derek Holzer (US) arrives to Aalborg.
His main profile is precisely the studies of noise and its art-tech application. Holzer will run a four-days long workshop under the title Neanderthal Electronics where the participants will construct their own personal analog synthesizers and in the end they will collaborate in a public performance. During this workshop both simple-primitive/found objects and modern devices (capacitors, transistors, LEDs, sensors and different audio inputs etc) will be applied in order to achieving the perfect and very personal sound environment.
Beside leading the noise-workshop Holzer will perform himself as well. A solo and improvised performance will be presented by him and a bunch of analog sound equipment.
Please note that pre-registering is required for the workshop. More info on this to come.
