Christian Tschinkel /  Matthias Makowsky, “EXA”
“EXA” is a transdisciplinary cyborg composition and sound art project by Matthias Makowsky and Christian Tschinkel that combines acousmatics, cybernetics, and science fiction. Tschinkel composes the fixed-media music, while Makowsky controls the interactive sound design in real time. Performers, as "EXA," move through a multi-layered soundscape in a sensor-equipped body suit as exoskeleton—their movements additionally generate and shape sound via synthesizers, samples and Max/MSP. This creates a hybrid work that oscillates between sound, music, dance, performance, and musical theater.
The title opens up numerous semantic and aesthetic associations, from witch (Hexe) to ex machina, from hexatonics to exabytes, and plays with concepts of transhumanism, mechanical sensuality, and digital execution. “EXA” adds new dimensions of physicality and embodiment to Tschinkel's acousmonautic works, while simultaneously referring to astronomical expanses, cybernetic dream worlds, and the question of the mind within the machine.
Duration: ~45 min.
