“Chromatic Wednesdays”is a bi-weekly event series organized by Apartment Project, which promotes artistic expression across various disciplines and formats. Each month, Chromatic Wednesdays focuses on a new theme, for which two events are realized. In 2022, the themes were: Improvisation, Exile, Precarity, Mutualism, Recurrence, Echoes, Divergence, Instability, Curiosity, Resonance, Sanctuary and Inversion. In 2023: Solidarity, Upheaval, Resistance, Light, Comma, Mythology, Position, Urbanism, Unbound, Dystopia, Home and Intelligence. Chromatic Wednesdays invited artists, musicians, performers, scientists and cultural practitioners to collaborate, experiment and share their unique research, practices and experiences with each other and the public. The events included a wide range of multidisciplinary, hybrid formats, including concerts, performances, workshops, film screenings, lectures, exhibitions, readings, and panel discussions.

In 2021 the project came to life as a reaction to artistic disruption caused by the pandemic.  Today numerous challenges persistently endanger cultural production. How do artists and  audiences from different backgrounds and mediums come together? What forms of new expression can be explored or can be expanded? What kind of new networks between institutions and artists can be established? How can these networks sustain the survival of the artists?

As part of Chromatic Wednesdays’ Season 2 and 3, a total of 167 participants from countries, such as Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Ukraine, Norway, Japan, Iran, Poland, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Russia, China, the U.K, USA, Portugal, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Namibia, Israel, Egypt, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Russia, Taiwan were invited. Of them, 92 female, 63 male and 12 non-binary participated.

The very first editions were streamed online due to Corona measures. Since June 2021, the events have been held in a hybrid format, mainly at the Apartment Project and online.

Wednesdays

Season 2
Episode 17

Theme:
Resonance

12 October ´22


PHANTOM POWER & ERIBÓZ

Performances:
Phantom Power (Kai Fagaschanski: clarinet; Michael Vorfeld: percussion and string instrument)
Eribòz (Erika Sofia Sollo: voice and electronics; Fabrizio Bozzi Fenu: electric prepared guitar, objects)
Resonance magnifies a stimulus by allowing vibration to make it oscillate – a phenomenon explored by Chromatic Wednesdays in the new monthly theme. In this edition, two performances revolved around resonance. Phantom Power, founded in 2014 by Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Vorfeld, offered melodic and rhythmic aspects in which clarinet and drum merge in sound phenomenological ways. By interlacing both instruments with interferences and difference tones, they invited a third player to join their duo as a psycho-acoustic phantom.

Similarly, the duo Eribòz’s performance expanded the definition of a musical duo, as their music evolves between the two individual positions, represented by Erika Sollo and Fabrizio Fenu, and their collaboration, where their voices and instruments merge into each other’s sounds. Objects resonate, creating an ever-changing flow of sound. The music hovers between concrete and electronic music, searching for unexpected sounds that lie beyond melody and rhythm.
Kai Fagaschanski (b. 1974, Dennenberg/Elbe), based in Berlin, is a clarinetist, composer, and performer focusing on subtle musicality, noise, and sound phenomena. The autodidact has developed his own musical language, characterized by a sophisticated multi-sound technique. Rooted in the abstract, it contains an enigmatic expressivity and pre-melodic quality. His current projects include The International Nothing (with Michael Thieke), The Dogmatics (with Chris Abrahams), The Magic I.D. (with Margareth Kammerer, Christof Kurzmann, and Michael Thieke), Musik (with Burkhard Stangl), Los Glissandinos (with Klaus Filip), as well as Berlin’s 24-member Splitter Orchestra.

Musician and visual artist Michael Vorfeld (Berlin) plays percussion and self-designed string instruments, realizing electro-acoustic sound works. He is active in the fields of experimental music, improvised music, and sound art. In addition to developing site-specific installations and performances with light and sound, he also works with photography and film. He is a member of various formations and cooperates with artists from different fields.

Turin-based vocalist Erika Sollo works mainly in the context of improvised and experimental music, both as a soloist and in ensembles. She explores unconventional uses of her voice through extended techniques and electronic processing. Her work includes sound poetry and improvisations over texts and graphic scores. She has collaborated with musicians such as Gino Robair, Tomomi Adachi, Ernst Reijseger, Jim Black, Anthony Braxton, Eyvind Kang, Jessika Kenney, Patrizia Oliva, Stefano Giust, and Tristan Honsinger. In addition, Sollo has performed interdisciplinary works with theater, dance, and visual artists.

Fabrizio Fenu is a guitarist, improviser, and “sound seeker” from Italy, living in Marseille. He is devoted to noise and its expressive possibilities, using adapted instruments and experimenting with non-conventional techniques involving bows, feedback, and electronics. His path through the practice of free improvisation led him to interdisciplinary work, such as in video, painting, dance, film, and music. He played with leading musicians of the free improvisation scene, such as Gino Robair, Masahiko Ueji, Luca Pissavini, Ed Williams, Vincent Laju, Francois Wong and Utku Tavil.
