Hörbar: Katt Hernandez & Marina Cyrino / Sandro Nicolussi / Isak Han (BLURRED EDGES FESTIVAL)

Katt Hernandez: violin
Marina Cyrino: prepared flute
Sandro Nicolussi: found film, audio recordings
Isak Han: nUFO, electronics

This evening at Hörbar brings together four interdisciplinary artists whose performances conceive of experimental music as a living, process-driven act.

For the first time, Katt Hernandez and Marina Cyrino perform as a duo, uniting prepared flute and violin in an encounter that pushes the boundaries of their instruments through extended techniques, physical gestures, and electronics. Their performance becomes a dialogue between the acoustic and the digital, between precise virtuosity and spontaneous sonic exploration.

With his audiovisual work “Fair Use,” Sandro Nicolussi interrogates questions of originality and artistic appropriation: Using found film and audio recordings, he probes the moment where nostalgia tips into critique - and where piracy becomes an artistic act.

Isak Han places the body at the center of computer music: With his self-built instrument “nUFO,” he transforms code in real time into a responsive, almost organic sonic experience. Here, the machine is not operated but played.

Together, these four artists reveal the rich diversity of contemporary experimental music: as a space for collaboration, a form of resistance, and an act of playful discovery.
