As a video artist he travels the world, collaborating with a multitude of performance artists, dancers and musicians. Born in Ryd just south of Växjö, he lives and works in Berlin. “At the centre is a machine that can see and hear. Visual and sounding events are automatically detected, analysed and categorised with the use of a camera and a microphone. A (human) performer is simultaneously controlling the machine to play back selected events from its memory. By combining and manipulating events, a pulsating mosaic of interconnected sounds and graphics is created – all generated from the RiFiFi space. Eventually the machine will start to detect itself. For good or for bad it will start to see and hear what it is doing itself, and possibly crash in a moment of feedback introspection.”

Ouvertures ISCM
The Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen (b. 1976) has lived and studied in such diverse places as Aarhus, Paris, Freiburg, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen and Rome. He has said that he is “trying to approach the human being behind the instrument, because then music can suddenly be about everything that is most important: communication, being, fragility and intimacy”. In his latest works, barely audible sounds are subjected to extreme amplification: as if the instruments are placed under a microscope. This opens up a rich micro-world in which normally suppressed or hidden subordinated sounds are integrated into an intense imagery of sounds.
