The sound performance series Sonic Specters is the first part of the program centering on AIL’s new topic: Haunted
– Persistence of the Past. In cooperation with Struma+Iodine, curated by Shilla Strelka and Elisabeth Falkensteiner
What do you mean when we say that substance matters?
Perila is a St.
Petersburg-born, Berlin-based sound and visual artist, DJ and performer exploring sensitive borderlines and depths of subtle
matter. Her sets are thick narratives drifting through rich sound palette imerging a listener into pretty personal trip. Constantly
shifting moods and textures of mixes create comfort space for emotions to float, merge, evaporate and ride in a deep context.
Apart from sound practice and research Perila constructs intimate visual, textual, contextual, performative layers to affect
a listener on many levels. Practice is aimed to challenge and overcome boundaries and share this expansion with the Other.
Stay in presence. Impermanence and balance.
Afrodeo is an Istanbul-born producer, rapper and radio personality
based in Vienna. Influenced by Eisenstein’s montage theory, his sampladelic work generates poetic evocations of memory and
fantasy through the combination of sounds from a vast sonic palette ranging between tape loops, field recordings, TV/film
samples and ethereal singing. Besides releasing music, Afrodeo has been hosting a thematic radio show called Sovyet Montajı
since 2016.
