CURRENT EVENTS
Tue, 17. Mar., at 10:00
Kino Šiška, Komuna hallCona and Kino Šiška invite you to the two-day festival ZVO.ČI.TI Acousmonium INput, which will transform the Komuna hall once again into an octophonic space celebrating deep, focused, and intense listening. Surrounded by speakers where artists will perform and interpret their original works live, you will be immersed in a pulsating experience and surrendered to a unique sonic journey.
Curators Brane Zorman and Patrick K.-H. will, together with invited sound artists, present a selection of authorial reference electroacoustic compositions, several of which will be performed publicly for the first time.
We especially highlight the workshop by Diego Losa, who has been a member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (INA-GRM) since 1997, the leading institution for electroacoustic music, where he currently serves as project leader for GRM Tools. In this role, he actively contributes to the development, dissemination, and training of these reference software tools. He is responsible for the digitization of original GRM works, works as a sound engineer and technical assistant for visiting composers at INA, and is a professor of sound engineering at Sorbonne (Paris I) and at the EICAR film school. He also leads the electroacoustic music department at the Saint-Étienne Conservatory and teaches sound design at both EICAR and INA.
ZVO.ČI.TI Acousmonium is Slovenia’s leading ongoing platform for the development and presentation of spatial sound art. It combines octophonic and acousmatic concerts, commissioned original compositions, workshops, artist residencies, and networking. The curatorial selection includes both pioneers of acousmatic music and contemporary creators, who explore sound using traditional tools as well as the latest methods, technologies, and production processes.
This year, the festival is thematically connected with the first edition of ELX Triptih, taking place on March 18, 2026, at the Lendava Theatre and Concert Hall. The program includes two concerts of electroacoustic music, a sound installation, and a masterclass with Daniel Teruggi, long-time member and former director of INA-GRM, who also participated in last year’s edition of Akousmonium as a guest artist. The masterclass will be held the day before, on March 17.
Featured artists aslo include Mauricio Valdés San Emeterio, Bojana Šaljić Podešva, beepblip, Borut Savski, Patrick K.-H., Brane Zorman, and Tilen Lebar — all prominent contributors to the field of electroacoustic and spatial sound art.
