After two months in isolation, Jata C is meeting again! Live, at the same place, ready to explore bioacoustics and sound ecologies. Members of the group employ auditory perception to unite environmental and social themes. In doing so, they use the recordings of the real state of the world as well as speculative projections. Jata C are: beepblip, OR poiesis, Boštjan Perovšek, Bojana Šaljić P. and Brane Zorman.
We kindly invite you to visit the festival webside and explore the whole program: http://soundtent.org/

Soundcamp is a network of listening points at sunrise on International Dawn Chorus Day. It is the part of Acoustic Commons, an emerging network of live environmental streams which draw attention to the unique sounds of particular places across Europe and beyond. Cona (as one of the Acoustic Commons partners) prepared the part of the program for this year festival. It includes commissioned works, online sound performances and the talk about bats and COVID-19. Due to ongoing unfortunate circumstances whole programme will be taking place online in the form of extended radio event, organized around the Reveil 24 broadcast.

In third concert series ZVO.ČI.TI so.und.ing DUO, Petra Strahovnik and Ji Youn Kang will prepeare composition Resonance.
One of the distinctive, unique characteristics of the human beings could be the voice – even between two people it’s never the same. Of course we are not the only beings with the voice, but objects surrounding us have their own voices and their resonance frequencies too. Can we discover them? Can we make them sing? Can we create a choir together? Petra and Ji, during the performance, create a scene where found objects are stimulated by means of audio feedback on a resonating glass panel, aided by a transducer and a microphone attached to it. The objects speak with their own voices, sing, dance, and shout together, and eventually construct an organic unity. The performers are controlling and conducting them, creating a unique ‘harmony.’
Tuesday, Feb 11. 2020, at 20.00, Dvorana Komuna,Kino Šiška, Ljubljana
In second concert ZVO.ČI.TI so.und.ing DUO, Grom and O’Donnell will prepare a sonic collision, gradation and overflow of two interventions with an outcome that can’t be predicted. Actually, due to the potential possibilities of the derivatives, instruments and improvisational methods, it remains intentionally undefined.
Seamus O’Donnell: Ruins/City/Memory
Tomaž Grom: Pizda, vsi neki špilajo, jaz sem pa umetnik
Tomaž Grom and Seamus O’Donnell: Intervention with unknowable outcomes
