February 24th – March 4th, 2023 @ A-GRAZ @ Rhizom
Bordun, Italian bordone, means “humming bass” and refers to the sustained bass tone accompanying a melody. It forms the elementary component of drone music, to which the Bordone Ensemble, founded in Graz in 2019, has dedicated itself.
In the form of an installation, the space is occupied by interwoven pieces by the individual musicians of the ensemble, in which elements of acoustic and digital sound generators, field recordings, and tape manipulations intertwine.
Related building blocks are found on a visual level in the projections of the film and projection artist collective OchoReSotto – photographs, found footage and manipulations of the material. The loops used by the collective also represent a central element in Drone Music.
The installation opens with a concert by the Bordone ensemble, and closes with Nadeshda, who creates dense soundscapes from tapeloops and tape manipulations.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an overview of the current projects of the musicians involved.
