Aura Satz: LITTLE DOORWAY TO PATHS NOT YET TAKEN
LITTLE DOORWAYS TO PATHS NOT YET TAKEN
Film
Aura Satz, 'Little Doorways to Paths Not Yet Taken', 2016
Following on from Satz's previous films on electronic music composers and inventors, this short film provides an intimate view of the studio of American composer Laurie Spiegel (b 1945). Known for her electronic-music compositions and her algorithmic composition software, the film also reveals all manner of music and technology paraphernalia, from music scores to DIY inventions and quirky toy collections. The soundtrack features electronic music composed by Spiegel, and Laurie's voiceover musing on electronic music and the compositional process.

'Mappe Sonore'
Three-person exhibition at
KunstRaum Goethe-Institut, Rome
Micol Assael, Christina Kubisch and Aura Satz
'Mappe sonore,' cosi si chiama la mostra che inaugurea il prossimo 29 settembre 2018 al Kunstraum Goethe, lo spazio interdisciplinare del Goethe-Institut di Roma. A tentare di dare concretezza visiva alle onde sonore, a creare visioni e nuovi immaginari, sono tre artiste fra le piu interessanti protagoniste della scena della sound art contemporanea: Micol Assaal, Christina Kubisch, Aura Satz. Tre artiste che sono anche l'esempio di una tendenza preponderante nel mondo dell'arte: rendere visibile qualcosa che in apparenza si nasconde, dare fisicita ad elementi pensati da sempre come intangibili. Suono e scienza applicata, strumenti fai da te, software e algoritmi, le opere in mostra aspirano a dare forma all'invisibile, un compito che oggi riesce grazie anche alla nascita di tecnologie e intelligenze artificiali sempre piu evolute. Con incontri, perfomance e workshop, saranno approfonditi i sempre piu labili confini tra reale e virtuale e come questi incidono sulla nostra percezione del reale influenzando la nostra vita e gli spazi fisici in cui viviamo.

Showing as part of 'She Recalibrates' - Solo exhibition at ARTIUM, Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo, Vitoria-Gasteiz
Aura Satz's film and sound works are made in conversation and use dialogue as both method and subject matter. The works included in this show are part of a long-standing interest in compositional practices, in particular those of women in electronic and electroacoustic music. In addition to three film-sound portraits, the exhibition includes a series of drawings centred on early modular synthesizer compositional practices by women.
In Z Gallery programme, Aura Satz presents the films 'Oramics: Atlantis Anew,' 'Little Doorways to Paths Not Yet Take' and 'Hacer una diagonal con la musica,' three works based on three pioneers in the field of electronic music. 'She Recalibrates' (2018) are a series of drawin fine-tuning the sound in a listening feedback loop.
*Hacer una diagonal con la musica*. 2019. 10 min. A short film about Argentine electroacoustic composer Beatriz Ferreyra, a pioneer of musique concrete together with Pierre Schaeffer during the 1950s and 1960s. Here she discusses her 'sound hunting' recording techniques, and other thoughts on sound montage and spatialization, illustrated through onomatopoeia and dynamic hand gestures. In the key opening scene, Ferreyra is seen listening to the miniscule creaks produced by a door, expanding the simple binary of open vs closed to encompass an entire sound universe, an expanded bandwidth of what can be heard and how we might listen.
*Oramics: Atlantis Anew*. 2011. 7 min. Conceived as an artist's film that pays tribute to Daphne Oram, pioneer of British electronic music and co-founder of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1958, the film depicts a close encounter with her unique Oramics machine invention, housed in the Science Museum in London.
*Little Doorways to Paths Not Yet Taken*. 2016. 8 min. Following Satz's earlier films about women composers and inventors of electronic music, this short film offers an intimate look into the studio of American composer Laurie Spiegel (b. 1945). Renowned for her electronic music compositions and algorithmic composition software, the film also reveals all manner of musical and technological paraphernalia, ranging from sheet music to DIY inventions and collections of quirky toys. The soundtrack features electronic music composed by Spiegel and Laurie's voiceover reflecting on electronic music and the process of composing.
The* Z Gallery* (Z for zinema, cinema in Basque) programme is neither a season of films nor an exhibition. It is a project that constructs an intermediate space from which to reflect on and draw attention to works by artists making the leap into the cinematographic field as well as filmmakers exploring the exhibition format. It is a programme arising from the determined gesture of thinking about the moving image in the museum. A programme that aims to bring to the public authors interested in searching for new narrative forms by questioning the genres that historically categorise cinematographic language.
Curator: Garbine Ortega. Catalogue includes newly commissioned essays by Jo Hutton and Xabier Erkizia.

'Deep Minimalism' festival, Southbank, London
Friday 24 June 2016 - Sunday 26 June 2016
A weekend celebrating music that takes its time, which envelops the listener in deep sound and leaves space for contemplation, curated by Southbank Centre Artist in Residence Oliver Coates.
Explore tonal beauty and meditative listening with music by Laurie Spiegel, Pauline Oliveros and Eliane Radigue. We invite you to bring a cushion or a mat, and lie on the floor to hear music from composers including Laurie Spiegel. Emerging in the New York new music scene of the 1970s, Spiegel pre-dates many significant composers as a pioneer of electronic, algorithmic music. Experience a selection of her works and see a new film about the composer, created by artist Aura Satz, which is premiered at this performance.
Amid the Baroque architecture of St John's Smith Square, Sound Intermedia diffuse her works for contemplative listening.
Written for and with trailblazing harpist Rhodri Davies, who performs it here, OCCAM I marked Eliane Radigue's move away from synthesizer and tape composition into the mesmerizing acoustic possibilities of instrumental music. He performs using two bows, which allow the harp to develop a deep tonal sustain.
Edmund Finnis makes music from melodic figures and patterns. These allude to rich landscapes of effervescent sound, in this work for viola, violin, cello and electronics. Soloists from the London Contemporary Orchestra and violinist Daniel Pioro interpret Finnis' exquisite lines that hang suspended in the air, heightening our perception of fine details and heart rending beauty.
Hear Catherine Lamb's String Quartet, which returns due to popular demand, 18 months after its premiere. It creates cascades of shimmering harmonics through delicate manipulation of tuning, which hover, glowing in the concert space.
Pauline Oliveros, a composer who has inspired generations of listeners to go deeper into the mysteries of sound, is present through the festival and here joins us on stage. The Vocal Constructivists, who are eloquent collaborative interpreters of Oliveros' work, present her Lullaby for Daisy Pauline, a work for singers and a chorus of taped cicadas and frogs.
This is followed by a rare and unusual opportunity to take part in a massed participation performance of Tuning Meditation, led by Pauline herself. Under Pauline's direction the audience and choir create a polyphony of sound, finely tuned to each other and to this extraordinary moment.
Meredith Monk's Dawn from the soundtrack to her film Book of Days closes the festival. This short choral piece unfurls, using vocal melismas and a repeating ground bass to approach a sense of euphoria.

'Fort Process' festival, Newhaven Fort, East Sussex
Fort Process is an expansive multiÂdisciplinary music and arts festival that takes place in the evocative spaces of Newhaven Fort in East Sussex. After a very well-received debut in 2014 the festival is back for a second edition, with an extensive programme featuring site-specific sound installations, international musicians, talks, films, poetry and workshops.
The Fort Process experience is quite unlike any other: half the festival-goers are hidden underground, making their way through a warren of tunnels to listen to performances in eerie chambers and bolt holes. Meanwhile, above ground the other half are roaming in and out of gun emplacements, radio shacks and laboratories on the fort's ramparts.
Built in 1860, Newhaven Fort is an alluring site, rich in human and natural history. After being decommissioned as a military facility the fort has undergone neglect and subsequent restoration, with many of the features of its inner architecture remaining intact, including the rumoured ghost in the Caponier. Built physically into the geology of the South Downs, it gives it a unique perspective of Newhaven town and the hills and sea of the area.
