Audiovisual Performances and Book Launch with Marcus Bastos

Just Words (redux), 2015
Audiovisual Performance by Marcus Bastos; guest performer: Alessandra Eramo
On a word saturated by images, an exploration of meaningless words. Graphicness of typography, scripts for possible scenes, and abstract voices. Followed by a CODA in which slogans of street protests result in a cacophony of commands made meaningless by contradictions and repetitions.

Delayscapes, 2014
Audiovisual Performance by Marcus Bastos
Recursive abstractions and delay chains, transforming simple shapes and sound into textural scapes through procedural repetition and variation. The piece is structured as a series of short studies on possible relations of moving images and sound, and two longer explorations of the resulting syntaxes.

Book launch
After the pieces, there will be the launch of the score for delayscapes. The publication includes a graphic essay, an introductory dialogue in which Ana Carvalho and Marcus Bastos discuss scores as devices of memory and transmission in the field of contemporary audiovisual performance and a Pen Card with the patch, a companion PDF and images, videos and sounds used on the current instance of the piece.

This event is part of the algorithmic liveness: editing the audiovisual presence project, developed on Humboldt University under supervision of Wolfgang Ernst / funded by PIPEq (PUC-SP).

Alessandra Eramo is a sound artist, vocalist and composer who works primarily with voice and noise. She creates performance pieces, text-sound compositions, videos, drawings and site-specific installations, exploring latent acoustic territories of the human voice. Pushing the boundaries of sound poetry and vocal performance art, she investigates the tension between vocality and writing, the physicality and trance-like states in singing. 
She is co-founder of “Corvo Records – vinyl & sound art production” where she released her solo LP Come ho imparato a volare, and the 7’’ Roars Bangs Booms in 2014, based on the onomatopoeic words from the Futurist Manifesto “The Art of Noises” by Luigi Russolo.
