Form and Code

Micaela Trombini (Argentina) Sound artist and educator. She uses live coding and experimental algorithmic noise techniques, creating custom instruments and sound interfaces from code. This gives her performances flexibility and improvisation, turning noise into art that challenges traditional music and offers immersive auditory experiences.
Her performance is a live dialogue with the machine, where algorithms are executed and rewritten in real time. This creates unpredictable soundscapes, textures, and layers of noise, transforming the space into a field of sonic exploration.

\unexCoder (Argentina) Audiovisual artist and programmer. Since the mid-2000s, he has explored programming languages and algorithmic techniques in musical and visual processes. His work blends computational concepts like generativity, noise, and fractals with ideas like modularity and hybrid systems (digital-analog, human-machine). He is also focused on live coding and improvisation, creating music, audiovisuals, video art, and digital drawings. He has performed at festivals across Argentina and Europe. _hypercubx (Performance)
_hypercubx exists between mathematical dimensions and volumetric projections. Algorithmic flows shape sound and light into dynamic sculptures, with performances hacking the system to break structures and express noise.

Floating Spectrum

Floating Spectrum is the moniker of the Taiwan-born, Berlin-based composer and audio technologist Mei-Fang Liau. Her music blends technological craft with intuitive emotion. The heavily processed samples and synths form the mesmerizing base of her music. Inspired by how simple rules can produce complex nature, she created custom synthesizers that enable her to create rich sounds filled with organic details.

Abe Pazos (Finland, Spain) produces audiovisual art based on rules and algorithms. He reveals connections between mathematics and the organic, raising awareness of natural vs human made phenomena. To achieve this he observes and captures textures, shapes and behaviors, analyzes the rules that led to their existence, and imitates and plays with those rules. He writes software to process media, data and sensor input to produce collaborative interactive installations. Abe is a co-organizer of the Creative Code Berlin events since 2013, is author of a world-renowned creative coding course and gives workshops and lectures in various institutions.

Hyper Transport

Gilbert Sinnott aka Autr is an audio and video artist working with hacked and repurposed vintage analogue video equipment as a means for live video painting and sensory exploration. Following a format of synaethetic experimentation and improvisation, audio stems and sketches are remixed and performed by Music For Airports Berlin host Douglas Brennan, guiding a live performance of psychedelic, constructivist and other-worldly forms. Previous work by Autr has included live visuals and music videos for Venetian Snares, Planet Mu Records, Vortex Traks, and audio-visual performances across Berlin, Czech Republic and UK.

Music for Airports is an ambient listening session which takes place on the last Sunday of the month through autumn and winter. The ambient listening session involves live ambient new age and experimental performances plus audiovisual compositions and DJ selections of a compelling nature.

Sound insights

Ape Finger of the Stars is a Berlin-based improvisational drone quartet with members from Finland, Germany, Italy and Sweden. They use synthesisers, drum machines, tapes and the saxophone to create soothing drone, ambient and downtempo music.

Last March they released their debut album “Mountain, Forest, Ocean” on Die Brücke. It takes its title from the three approximations of eternity that appear in John Berger’s video essay on time (carting away all the rocks of a mountain in a wheelbarrow, cutting of every branch of every tree in a forest, watching a duck drink the ocean).

Explorations in the correlation between sound and light

Media artists trio from Mexico / Spain based in Berlin. Focused on experimental approaches to sound and live visuals. Have been working on a reductionist approach of sound sculptures, using live electronics and custom technologies, and its corresponding translation into images that capture the essence of sound and transform it in light effects.

The AV performance is in a continuous evolution through improvisation, adaptation and exploration of the space and the resources. Their work has been presented at the Psst sessions in Spektrum, Experimontag at Madame Claude and Automaton art show in Green House.
