Hypersurface
is a NYC-based trio consisting of Drew Wesely (guitar/objects), Lester St. Louis (cello), and Carlo Costa (percussion).
Hypersurface explores timbral, durational, and formal aspects of improvisation with lenses focused on their instruments‘ acoustic particularities alongside employing tiles, railroad spikes, ceramic plates and other objects to expand them further. In coming together Carlo, Drew and Lester wanted to create a music that puts emphasis on the erasure of sonic boundaries, embracing the liminal spaces between their instruments, their sounds and the greater sonic environment. Timbre, gesture, duration, particles, layers… a real time tapestry of its own. The trio has given performances throughout the United States and Europe in a diversity of concert settings from clubs to large halls and galleries; with each utilizing the acoustics to follow potent musical pathways. https://drewwesely.bandcamp.com/album/hypersurface
beauchamp*geissler (UK/IT/AT) are a duo from valdieri (IT) and vienna (AT) mostly residing in vienna these days. Exceptionally diverse genre-wise, they juxtapose italopop with free improvisation and visual art approaches. For this occasion they present a multichannel performance that further develops compositions and concepts written for site-speci c performances [Ars Electronica (Linz), Semperdepot (Wien), Österreichischen Skulpturenpark (Premstätten)], which deal with sychronsation and desynchronisation of pacemakers, resonant frequencies of tubes, mimesis of natural sounds via musical instruments. beauchamp*geissler’s usual instrumentarium is extended by the presence of tubes, bouncing balls and feathers which behave as instruments during the performance and sit together in the form of an installation before and after stage time.
beauchamp*geissler’s music juggles with multilingual texts, shifts between composed and improvised music, and intersperses songs with soundscapes. They released their rst album “0_00_0__0” in January 2023 and EP “0___0_0” in June 2024 on Goldgelb Records, have toured a number of countries in Europe and appeared at festivals such as 23 Jahre klingt.org and STERRRN festival.
