========BIO===========Tatiana Heuman /Buenos Aires, Argentina
Her musical career began playing trumpet and drums with the free improvisation band Ricarda Cometa around 2009. Her unique approach to musical production was founded essentially in a free, intuitive and experimental self-made territory where genres and tags are fluid and in permanent mutation.
By 2014 Tatiana had already started her solo electronic music project. After two EPs released in 2014 and 2016, her first album was out in August 2018: ‘QEEI’ released on the label Astro Nautico (NY). Her aesthetic language has also been enriched through the collaboration with artists from all art fields but mainly working on sound design and music composition for films and performing arts.
In the academic context, Heuman has studied Dance, Corporal Expression (UNA), Expanded Music (UNSAM) and is currently starting her Master in Media Arts in KHM, Cologne, Germany.
Tatiana actively develops a series of music production laboratories and workshops with the principle of understanding audio processing as a means of manifestation. She is part of the communities #VIVAS (female* sounds platform) and TRRUENO crew, both based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ján Solčáni / Poprad, Slovakia
His activities lie between field-recording, curatorship, theory and VJ-ing. In his PhD research he focuses on the phenomena of our culture that are perceivable and expressible with sound – via listening, sound work, sociological imagination, recording, reinterpretation, oral and audio history and acoustic ecology. As a curator and university teacher he is interested in the processes of sharing knowledge and giving voice to the “invisible”. He collaborates with Tatiana Heuman setting up visuals for her live sets based on homemade-footage processing. His academic background is in aesthetics, new media theory, sound and listening as a part of his current PhD studies. He is a member of collective and label Skupina and cultural space PRAHA. Simon Whetham
is a professional Sound Artist. For him this term has been considered and refined over a decade of practice and experience of working creatively with sonic phenomena and perception.Projects combine sonic investigation of place and site, historical reference, collaboration, workshops, performance and installation. Exchange and engagement are integral to his working practice, as are exploring transduction of energies and unpredictability.He currently lives as a travelling artist, directly engaging with smaller communities and audiences, often with an aim to reach those who are normally excluded from art and culture.His projects have been commissioned and hosted internationally, most recently in South Korea, Indonesia, Germany, Italy and Norway.For live presentations Whetham is currently developing a way of presenting and affecting sound through an array of speakers and transducers, manually manipulating materials and details through microphone proximity and placement, extending his practice of using the microphone and speaker as instruments.
