@c + Visiophone30×N — VRM1

30×N — VRM1 is the fourth in a series of releases originating from 30×N, an audiovisual performance by @c + Visiophone in which a modular system and three performers interacting in a generative composition with sound, lights, and visuals. In 30×N explores using computers as agents and creative partners, with each performance emerging from the meeting between them and the performers.

Each release in this series includes fixed-media audio and audiovisual compositions created from the materials of one of the performance’s sections, exploring and further expanding the original materials and bringing them into new contexts. Furthermore, the same sonic materials are also delivered to other composers that contribute guest remixes. In this release, the remixes are by AGF and Jonathan Uliel Saldanha.

AGF aka Antye Greie-Ripatti, is a sound artist and electronic music producer. Her work inhabits an augmented space where pounding {Berlin} experimental after-techno, spoken word, abstract video art, feminism and radical ecology create a self-sustaining environment. Originally from East Germany, she developed a DIY approach early on, using her voice to fight against oppressions by supporting marginalised communities in her work and with the female:pressure network. Currently based in Northern Finland, Antye founded the local arts organisation Hai Art in Hailuoto that, since 2011, has been involved in numerous sound-related projects. Antye works a curator and workshop instructor and facilitates the exhibition space rec-on.org. Since the early 90s, she has collaborated with many artists in electronic music such as Eliane Radigue, Gudrun Gut and Ellen Allien, Kaffe Matthews, Vladislav Delay and Craig Armstrong.

Jonathan Uliel Saldanha is a composer, visual artists and stage designer. His practice spans sound, performance, installation and visual arts, exploring the contamination between pre-language, cybernetics, animism, speculative fiction, and technologies of perception. His work builds sensory architectures where voice, light, matter, and rhythm operate as unstable forces, between machine, organism, and environment. He was a founder of the SOOPA collective and leads the projects HHY & The Macumbas and HHY & The Kampala Unit.

This release is part of the 30×N series.
