Inspired by stories or images, the two Zurich musicians Jordi Fresco and Roger Sommer, alias Fresco/Sommer, create improvised musical fragments that they arrange into compositions. Fresco/Sommer conceive site-specific sound installations in collaboration with artists and use listening events to promote in-depth listening to music (deep listening). Both regularly organize concerts and host a radio show in the environment of the record store OOR Records on Radio LoRa. Fresco/Sommer realize one of their "Found Sounds" installations in the glass and porcelain department of the Brockenstube Gais, where they work with found sound material. The Brockenstube thus becomes a kind of off-space for the festival in the village. The installation in the off-space Brockenstube can be seen from August 28.
Opening hours Brockenstube Gais Saturday (28.8. / 4.9. / 11.9.) 09:00 to 16:00
Wednesday (1.9. / 8.9.) 10:00 to 18:00
Address: Grüt 12 Appenzeller Bahn stop: Zweibrücken
Two pieces were created from the recordings for the sound installation, which Fresco / Sommer had pressed onto vinyl. The records will be available at the festival from 4.9.2021.
