The starting point for this programme, Strom II, is the piece by Kevin Juillerat that we wrote for our first project, Strom, and which gave us a great deal of inspiration. In this work, our instrumental voices are sampled live and are in turn influenced by the space, among other things. The samples and our amplified instruments are distributed around the room via four loudspeakers. This is a piece with great potential for development, in collaboration with Thierry Simonot, who supports us as sound artist and technician. 

We have also commissioned three compositions. The three composers each have their own personal approach to electronic music, which is expressed in their compositions:  

Santiago Diez Fischer, currently a doctoral student in Berne, seeks to describe in his composition the imaginary worlds that our memories create from fantasies and recollections. Swiss composer Manuela Villiger is looking at the physiological, emotional and cognitive conditions of bodies, while Finbar Hosie, who lives in France, will be taking a musical approach to food habits and labels in his latest piece.

In all the compositions, the emphasis is on an organic relationship between electronics and acoustics.
