DOMUS
(Spain/Australia)
Originating from the Latin domus ecclēsiae (‘meeting-house, house of assembly’), a translation of the Ancient Greek οἶκος τῆς ἐκκλησίας (oîkos tês ekklēsías), DOMUS represents an abode of sound. Exploring the source of all that is physical in existence as a reverberation or vibration. And where there is a vibration, there is sound.
DOMUS introduces a journey through live improvisational soundscapes, by Spain-born artist Tarik Rahim and Australian-born artist Mo Aung. Their performances are a fusion of their explorations, from abstract electronic beats to contemporary neofolk. Each artist brings their background and experimentation to the stage, creating an interplay that is both subtle and compelling. The dialogue between Rahim and Aung blends their sounds into a unified, resonant experience.
Their new collaborative project re-contextualises these diverse influences into an auditory soundscape through live improvisation incorporating sounds such as field recordings, synth textures and ethereal vocals.
Tarik Rahim and Mo Aung have deeply explored experimentation in sound with their own individual works, ranging from abstract electronic beats to contemporary neo-folk, merging influences from their Southeast Asian and South American heritage.
COREY FOGEL (US)
Corey Fogel is a composer, drummer, and artist based in Los Angeles. He works across genre and medium to explore many facets of improvisation. He approaches sounds, textiles, collaborators, gestures, and objects as viable materials for spontaneous, strategized, time-based experimental performance, often incorporating sculpture, video, music traditions, theatricality, and ritual.
Fogel performs and composes in many rock, jazz, noise, folk, and chamber music capacities. He can be heard on over one hundred recordings as a percussionist. His compositions range from collaborative media scores to aleatoric ensemble compositions which use a combination of traditional and novel notation. For two decades, he has worked with alternative music notation, creating innovative and novel systems that encode and visualize the behaviors that comprise musicians’ improvisational vocabulary. His scores use digital design techniques to represent sonic trajectories, relational dynamics, and situationism in space. Once an exclusive transaction between composer and performer, this work has grown into site-specific, immersive mural paintings for an expanded audience. This creative activity became the subject of his doctoral dissertation, entitled Graphic Score On Trial - The Utility and Emergence of a Transciplinary Linguistic.
