Join us for the inauguration of The Fridman Gallery Listening Room, an 8-channel 3D spatial sound studio inside Fridman Gallery’s office/showroom, designed by sound engineer/artist Daniel Neumann and CT::SWaM. It features an archive of works that were specifically composed or performed for this system and it will be used for future installations, listening events and the continuation of the CT::SWaM ExChange series.
This live listening activation will include works by members of Velak Collective: agar agar and Nava Hemyari + Frederic Stritter

agar agaragar agar is an audiovisual performance by Martina Moro and Fabian Lanzmaier. Combining analog and digital tools they create an immersive space of abstract sound and visuals. Setting up an instrument in which the visual and auditory parts influence each other, they generate a system with its own dynamics and dependencies, resulting in a synesthetic experi- ence. agar agar is a performative instrument, a miniature stage, that under many spotlights, reveals an ecstatic choreogra- phy of patterns interacting with each other.
Velak is a series organizing concerts and performances with the focus on electronic, experimental and improvised music, consistently and regularly for almost 20 years. The concert series hosting local and international acts has a nomadic form of organization playing in different settings and spaces around Vienna / Austria, but also has collaborated with other organizers from abroad to play velak-export events and was engaged to run a radio stream around the world over the last years.
