It's Not Quiet in the Void – Online Artist Workshop with Annie Aries

Saturday, February 25th, 3:00pm - 4:00pm ET

Annie is a Swiss-Philippine artist based in Bern, Switzerland. In the world of modular synthesizers and patch cords, Annie explores, performs and composes music and opens up sonic spaces between electronica and experimental sounds. In this online artist talk, Annie will speak about her creative practice, on what she is currently working on, and how VCV Rack has become an integral part of her artistic workflow. – Q&A after presentation.

Annie Aries dedicates her music to delicate sound textures and noises that address the transition into a new acoustic moment. Using her instrument, a modular custom synthesizer, she focuses on sound textures that slowly merge into dense sound clusters, accompanied by generative rhythmic patterns, and forms new sound events from this gradual process: New soundscapes emerge that both enrich and complement each other in their spectrum and decay organically. The acoustic microstructures that evolves are influenced by the sounds of her sonic environment. A fusion of field recordings and the synthetic sounds of the modular synthesizer open up an acoustic space on a constant search of new caesuras, the impermanent and unpredictable.

All experience levels welcomed.

This event is online and will be hosted via Zoom; a link and instructions will be provided after registration.
