Fictional Objects & Music Instrumental Lab
Mnemekinesis is the first project of foMi.Lab (Fictional Objects & Music Instruments Laboratory, Bern). The project addresses the theme of memory and human empathy as a means to stimulate a dialogue between the musical imagination and the world as it presents itself in the third decade of the 21st century. This diffuse state of the real is considered here from four different and interconnected perspectives in the work of the four composers covered in the program: the post-human uchronias in Azzigotti, the indigenous cosmogonies in Pelzel, the expanded cinematic language in Kulikov and geometric-musical relations in Rubino. Through an ensemble of Swiss and Latin American musicians, 8 concerts, 2 lectures, neo-lutherie experiments and digital publications in innovative formats.
