Material Features - A Performance by Paolo Thorsen-Nagel

++Performance Friday November 14, 7 pm

Material Features, Paolo Thorsen-Nagel's new performance commissioned by KM
Temporaer / LEAP, numerous speakers are spread across a room, attached to
its surfaces and buried in its material features. Each speaker has its own
physical identity, ascribing yet another spatial and functional dimension
to the architecture. The piece describes sound as a tangible mass,
performing itself and the room rather than being directed from the
performer's hand into the listener's ear. On the contrary, the audience is
invited to experience the architectural space as a kind of sound system,
each listener creating their own map of the room and its acoustic,
architectonic, and emotional qualities. Time becomes a redundancy consumed
by the music's own logic of loops, delays, and contorted guitar sounds.


Paolo Thorsen-Nagel (*1985, Chicago) is a German-American guitarist, sound
artist, and occasional filmmaker. Recent projects include various
location-specific solo concerts tied to visual art exhibitions. These
include the Robert Ashley tribute “6-4-2,” with Quinn Latimer,
LiveInYourHead, Geneva; the residency and performance program “Pleasure
Principles,” Fondation Lafayette, Paris (2014); “Learning From Warsaw,”
Kunstverein Zürich in Warsaw (2013); “S.S.O.R.,” with Adriana Lara,
Kunsthalle Basel (2012); “The State Of Making Things”, with Annette Amberg,
La Rada, Locarno (2013); and a featured performance in Alexandra
Bachzetsis’s “Etude,” dOCUMENTA 13, Kassel (2012). In addition,
Thorsen-Nagel created a new collaborative performance with Calla Henkel,
Max Pitegoff, and Tobias Spichtig for New Theater, Berlin, and the LISTE
Performance Project, Basel (2014). Studio activities include recent
releases with the experimental rock band Aie ca Gicle (Speak Easy, A Tree
in a Field Records, 2013) and the Paolo Thorsen-Nagel Projekt (And On,
Material Records, 2013).
