an improvised music collective whose spontaneous sonic creations are a convergence (or a collision) of the diverse backgrounds of its members, who began life in five different countries (russia, germany, austria, uk, usa), before fatefully arriving in vienna and coming together as a group in 2023. / jeff t byrd

a mobile art space, social sculpture, and experimental venue. for the 10th anniversary of setzkasten wien, a portable container frame serves as the medium through which setzkasten can move from hernals to various locations worldwide as kubus obscura, kubus base and kubus stage, the empty frame serves as an architectural art piece, workshop lab, camera & darkroom, performance stage and becomes a habitat that opens an experimental dialogue with its evolving surroundings. / maria koller

eine neue, 40-minuetige komposition von christina ruf (*1991) fuer vier violoncelli und elektronik. darin dominieren komplexe klanggeflechte, die sich langsam entfalten und dabei schwebungen, klangschichtungen und geraeuschhafte elemente der instrumentalen tonproduktion integrieren, um die zuhoerer*innen in ein immersives klangumfeld eintauchen zu lassen. der junge wiener gitarrist und improvisator alexander babikov hat dazu ein vorspiel konzipiert. / alejandro del valle-lattanzio

die darbietung wird eine verschmelzung des bildes mit koerpern in form von tanz enthalten.
weiteres werden gedichte und texte in bezug und gegenzug zum film dargeboten, die sozusagen die einzelnen bildfragmente zum sprechen bringen. versetzte und vernetzte textwelten, laute und gesang, in bewegung, tanz und stillstand. es soll ein sog entstehen, der das publikum in die leinwand „hineinsaugt“, die performer und musiker als verbindungsglied. / mario sefelin

alexander babikov (*2005, moscow) is a vienna-based composer, sound artist and improvising musician. his artistic practice, invariably situated at the intersection of composition, concept art, installation and improvisation, encompasses a vast spectrum of genres and aesthetic approaches, regardless of his persistently uncompromising artistic attitude and a distinctive aesthetic sensitivity. as reflected in his presence in the viennese improvisation scene, his consistent involvement in various stylistically differentiated projects and ensembles, site-specific works, interdisciplinary performances and spontaneous improvisatory formations with numerous live appearances in and outside of vienna.
alexander babikov (*2005, moskau) ist ein in wien lebender komponist, klangkuenstler und improvisationsmusiker. seine kuenstlerische taetigkeit, stets an der schnittstelle zwischen komposition, konzeptkunst, rauminstallation und improvisation verortet, durchquert ein weites spektrum an genres und aesthetischen ansaetzen, ungeachtet seiner konsequent kompromisslosen kuenstlerischen haltung und einer ausgepraegten aesthetik. ersichtlich an seiner praesenz in der wiener improvisationsszene, der mitwirkung in diversen projekten und ensembles, ortsspezifischen und interdisziplinaeren arbeiten sowie spontanen improvisatorischen konstellationen mit zahlreichen auftritten in und ausserhalb von wien.
