QOA works with listening as a tool to tune in with the environment around us and our own being, centering on the materiality of sound as a vibrational existence that occupy, move, and traverse the air around us. They generate expanded listening bodily experiences. Their sound ranges from minimal frequencies, processed field recordings of natural environments, live sampling of acoustic object as stones & branches, spoken word, synthesis & rhythmic spectral convolutions, creating an expanded listening experience that invites to immerse oneself in a floating time. Qoa is part of AMPLIFY Digital Arts Initiative (Amplify D.A.I), international network of artists from Argentina, Canada, Peru and the UK, supported by Mutek and British Council. 

Primeiro blends experimental electronics with samples of acoustic instruments and field recordings made by him, exploring the dynamic relationship between sound and territories. He develops intricate soundscapes with multiple layers that evoke a sense of tranquility and meticulous craft.

Together they will be working at EMS in Novermber.

 

 

 




Tatiana Rosa is an interdisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam whose research is based on the empowering force of sound as agency. This distillation of sound is manifested both through artistically informed sonification processes, endowing materialities with sonic idiosyncrasies, as well as exploring alternative asynchronous and/or synesthetic relations between the sonic and the nonsonic. Tatiana’s use of these mechanisms are pivotal in
shaping narratives that expand upon conventional boundaries of communication, while stimulating our (meta)sonic imagination.

A Helsinki-based sound designer and composer, Atte Elias Kantonen works in the fields of experimental music and performing arts.

Within his practice, Kantonen explores the potential of elastic synthesis and extremely processed sound as vessels for abstract, phantasmagorical storytelling. Building emotionally sonorous dioramas, he creates compositions where the serene and the discordant constantly fold in on each other.

He has released on labels such as SODA GONG, mappa, and SUPERPANG, among others.

Oskar Tomala - sound artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Copenhagen and Gdańsk. Working in the field of electro-acoustic composition, site specific sound installations and music for motion pictures. Their work focuses on the phenomenology of intensity, ambiguity and possibility as it manifests in the perception of tones, sounds, harmony and other forms of harmonicity. Oskar is interested in how our ways of listening expending our perceptual experience. His current explorations are oriented towards the research for interaction of harmonic sound with architecture space, by performing with site specific multichannel systems, capturing acoustic resonance and measuring space impulses then by merging with the search in timbres of acoustic instruments, sine waves, white noises and sound processing. As a composer, Oskar works extensively with just intonation harmony and composes for both acoustic instruments and sound synthesis.

During his internship at EMS, Oskar will continue his work with research of interaction of tones and noises with a particular interest in exploring juxtaposition of prepared samples with the Buchla system in relation to spatialization in liminal spaces.
