With Sub_Bar, Eufonia launches a pioneering series of events exploring music, subfrequencies and the haptic sense. Ignored by compositional practices, our sense of "touch" is home to our deepest memories and most instinctive reactions, talking a language of pain and pleasure, traumas and comfort, summer and winter. What happens when we stimulate it with music? We invited hearing, hearing impaired, and deaf artists to create original works using only subfrequencies, more specifically, frequencies between 30hz and 150hz: their compositions will be played through a powerful subwoofer system, transforming UTERO into a musical pressure room, for a unique listening experience that activates the whole body. Electronic music heavyweight Byetone, founder of the renowned label Raster Media, Deaf Rave mastermind dj Troi Lee, and subfrequencies expert Stefanie Egedy, are some of those responsible for composing these unique Sub Works, alongside other international diverse artists coming from sound and silence. We also teamed up with Zabra, one of Lisbon’s most innovative and visionary art platforms, and invited the talented, always surprising Carincur and Joao Pedro Fonseca to create an original performative installation. These shows will be supported by a live performance from Cigarra, a musical reference in the local music scene and a multifaceted artist, composer and dj, and by “Blink Time”, a performance about time, mass and communication by Sub_Bar resident and Eufonia co-founder Atelier Francesco. We'll also host one reactive installation from Julia Karnaś, transforming hand movement into vibrations, and one haptic artwork from Lisbon's rising eclectic creative maysa,, taking haptic art one step further. But Sub_Bar is not only art: it's also research and education. We'll host a workshop on how to create music using subfrequencies, and three talks coming from prof. Antonio Duarte, professor of Psychology at Ulisboa specializing in the psychology of art; Kornelia Bloch, a multisensory researcher at SWPS University in Warsaw, and Tony Weaver, deaf actor and director behind European projects such as "Beyond Signs". All the talks at Sub_Bar are translated into Portuguese sign language - and vice versa. Sub_Bar is a vision dedicated to sub-frequencies, a space that invites everyone to meet, interact and experience music in an innovative, inclusive, and immersive way. | | Sub Works | | Byetone (Raster Media, DE) Myles de Bastion (Cymaspace, US) Stefanie Egedy (Coisas Que Matam, BR) Grischa Lichtenberger (Raster Media, DE) Troi Lee (Deaf Rave, UK) Christian Duka (Amoenus, UK) John Kameel Farah (Neue Meister, CA) Martine Nicole-Rojina (Mpathy Studio, DE) | | Performances | | “No more questions about endlessness” by Carincur & João Pedro Fonseca (Zabra, PT) “Blink Time” by Atelier Francesco (Cocoon, IT) Cigarra LIVE | | Talks | | “Music, composers and inspiration” by Prof. Antonio Duarte (Portuguese and Portuguese sign language) “Touching up haptics” by Kornelia Bloch (English and Portuguese sign language) “Deaf Identity and artistic creation” by Tony Weaver (Portuguese sign language and Portuguese) Workshop: Music Composition for Subfrequencies using Ableton Live (Portuguese and Portuguese sign language) | | Installations & Haptic Artworks| | Julia Karnaś maysa,, -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Program Thursday 26th | | Sub Room 19:00 / 19:30 - Subworks 19:30 / 20:00 - Workshop: Music Composition for Subfrequencies using Ableton Live 20:00 / 23:00 - Subworks Buffer Room 20:20 / 20:40 - “Music, composers and inspiration” by Prof. Antonio Duarte 20:40 / 21:00 - “Touching up haptics” by Kornelia Bloch 21:00 / 21:20 - “Deaf Identity and artistic creation” by Tony Weaver | | Program Friday 27th | | 19:00 / 20:00 - “16hz” by Byetone 20:00 / 20:30 - Atelier Francesco presents “Blink Time” 20:40 / 21:10 - Cigarra LIVE 21:20 / 23:00 Carincur & Joao Pedro Fonseca present “No more questions about endlessness” -------------------------------------------------------------------- TICKETS: https://bit.ly/3E36p69 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub_Bar is kindly supported by Musikfonds, Dgartes, and Ableton.
