bill of exploratory music with 3 artists each defining their own sonic
territory. German artist Achim Mohné works across different media
formats, blurring the edges between them and exploring unexpected uses
of modern and outmoded technology. Sohrab is a Tehran born musician
whose ambient works are both a product of his environment and a reaction
against it. Korean sound artist Jiyeon Kim's experiments in resonance
have led to an unconventional approach to field recording.<br> <a href="http://www.touch33.net/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.touch3<span>3.net</span></a><span><br> <b><br>
ACHIM MOHNÉ</b> is a German artist who works across different media
formats, blurring the edges between them and exploring unexpected uses
of modern and outmoded technology. Previous sound works have made a
focal point of the actual media format on which they're released with
2012 cassette release 'And It Could Have Been Dead…' (on The Tapeworm)
focussing "on audiotape itself: as material, as body, as signifier and
as sculpture". Vinyl release 'One To Another' was a specially-designed
one-sided vinyl with an empty groove which collected dust as the needle
moved across it, changing the sound from total silence to a crackling
and thundering music.<br> <a href="http://www.achimmohne.de/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.achimmohne.de</a><br> <br>
<b>SOHRAB</b> was born in Tehran in 1984. He was seven when the Iran-Iraq war
ended. His name, from an old poem called 'Shahname', means 'rouge
water', which can also mean 'blood'. He started a punk band with his
brother and a friend, which lasted about two years before splitting.
Sohrab is totally isolated in Iran, with little or no connection to what
is happening there. He is currently stateless, applying for political
asylum in Germany. In Iran, 70% of the population is under 30 years old,
and this explosive social mix is causing trouble. Sohrab performed one
illegal gig which was broken up by the police. He then took to
performing alone in a desert or other place of wilderness. Various sound
files were sent out before he himself left for Germany in late 2010.
These files were assembled to form his first album, A Hidden Place,
(Touch) which reflects his inner cultural isolation.<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.touchmusic.org.uk%2Fsohrab&h=hAQH-oLzS&enc=AZPcHTrDUKdqZ_LDZjsKSa6WxYWgpUEbxccqAolL_aiT_DL-SCA6AV908cY2-XqsbVc&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>www.touchmusic.org.uk/</span><span></span>sohrab</a><br>

<b>JIYEON KIM </b>started her career as media art project producer, then she
moved to the soundmaker/musician field. She mainly uses field recordings
with sounds made with handmade analogue sound devices and acoustic
objects as her source. Currently she experiments on resonating different
materials in various methods with diy microphones, amplifiers, analogue
oscillators, which leads her to develop unconventional ways of field
recording.<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fteum11.wordpress.com%2F&h=6AQHjTXKm&enc=AZObCy8cAnHoYgQW6bAEYH0F_orLmX2V9mxV24yRspgVs44Sgbfc6lyoCIE2idWwYSI&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://</span><span></span>teum11.wordpress.com</a><br>
