Artists collective with focus on soundart, multimedia performance and music theater.

KosmetiKRadio deals with the notion of extended reality, so to say, we use "sound make-up" to lighten up some aspects of life that are not always perceived. We do this because we´re searching for a lost perception, we want to wake up for what we see.

Geschichten des Wartens – Fluchtwege nach Europa
Eine mediale Installation zur Völkerverständigung
Interview der kooperierenden Künstlerinnen
Gudrun Schlemmer (Konzept und Ausführung)
Laura Mello (Sounddesign)
Zur Ausstellung im Kunstpavillon im Januar 2009 in München

Wortbeitrag mit Hörbeispielen
Gudrun Schlemmer und Laura Mello sprechen über ihre Erfahrungen, Motivation und Hintergründe, die sie während der Arbeit an ihrer Installation „Geschichten des Wartens“ gemacht haben.
Gudrun Schlemmer zeigte einen überbordender Kahn, eine schwer überwindbare Festung mit unzähligen aneinander gereihten Zeichnungen. Schicksale von Einwanderern und deren Angehörigen wurden dem Besucher interaktiv via CD-Player und Kopfhörer direkt zugänglich gemacht.
Die Soundkünstlerin Laura Mello komponierte für die Audio-Aufnahmen ein konzeptuelles Sounddesign.

10 Jahre Grand Prix d'Amour
Freitag, 22.Mai 21:00 Festsaal Kreuzberg
Wir feiern dieses Jahr 10 Jahre Grand Prix d'Amour und da es um die Liebe geht feiern wir mit Schweiss und Gänsehaut, Lachen, süssen und bitteren Tränen. Verändert hat sich nicht viel, die Regeln sind die alten geblieben die Liebe fühlt sich auch immer noch so an.

Eine Live Übetragung aus der nahegelenten Umgebung

In dieser Sendung wird kein Thema diskutiert, keine vorproduzierten Aussagen gefällt: Alles, was erzählt wird, ergibt sich echtzeit... Oder auch nicht.
Die Sendung wird von keinem herkömmlichen Radioteam produziert, hier sind Menschen nicht wichtiger als das technische Equipment. Sie sind wie defekte Filtergeräte, die durch ihren eigenen unkontrollierbaren Parameter die Wirklichkeit durchlassen.

Musiktheater (to be performed at "Lange Nacht des Musiktheaters" UdK Berlin 2008)

Two observers (a man and a woman) walk through the same space where other things are happening (other pieces from the Lange Nacht, they would be the „observers“ of the night, they could go from one theater play to other and watch the people going outside or at the entrance, talking either about what they´re seeing, either about what they think about it and how they imagine it could look like, if it wouldn´t be what it is. They see the space, the people and their relationship.

Each one of them has a headset microfon.

Try out reports scenery was the Hans Eisler University in Berlin, during the TRY OUT days for the "Lange Nacht des Musiktheaters" (coming soon). In a june afternoon, when students were practicing in the rooms, the “observers” walked through the corridors.

Three sound sources are mixed live for the audience according to the score: synthesized atmospheres by Laura Mello and two processed Voices from the actors. The audience sits in front of an empty stage - or can listen over radios - to the live mix getting into a state between voyeurism and sympathy

Installation
at Studiobühne Ritterstrasse by Ladyfest 2007

An itinerant installation uses WCs as platforms for exchanges among(st) cultures. The walls are empty to be used for written thoughts of anyone using the facility. A television showing a video from the last installation and what is written on the wall is the source for the sound: the act of writing is recorded and the result is processed. In the first installation the video is made of transparent templates for Chinese characters, which will allude to the last place of installation, China. For the next installation, the video will report the previous installation, using the messages as sources for new video and audio material, and so one. Going into the WC installation, people from different countries and cultures can experience intimate thoughts about each other. After the installation reaches the final station in China, a video will display all of the videos at the same time on a big screen.

Tales of FM

2007-07-29T21:15:00.001+02:00

More than a composition this is rather a political statement. When I first saw this green night-sight-cameras with bombs over Bagdad on TV I was ashamed. How could it be that civilized nations staged war like a game ? Is it true that the winner is the one who successfully controlled the minds of the people behind television sets ? No. These are ferry tales of frequency modulated radio waves.

So I tell a different story with different means of expression: yust with sound. I see an American souldier lying in the desert - occupied with completely other things than "officials" might be.

People have told me that this is a very sad atmosphere. But I don't think so. I don't feel sorry.
