Rovar 17
The phenomenon of Rovar17 (Insect17 in English) was born august 2002, in the workroom of Kálmán Pongrácz. Levente Bod joined the band three days after, and they worked jointly through the end of 2004. They together created the albums Horsehead Nebula, Anything Else The Madness and English Letter with audio collage technique. The line-up widened with fine artist Zoltán Fekete in the debut concert. Zoltán was responsible for the visuals of our live acts. He played a few times in the Rovar17, but soon he made up his own band, first under the name Káoszütemező then Nautilus. Special thanks for the perfect concert sonority of the Rovar17 for Nándor Maller, he is our constant band tech, and has also appeared as a musician (he played either Expander Springs (an instrument of his own making), or a drum sampler. Now the Rovar17 has been Kálmán Pongrácz's solo project, but different kinds of collaboration often occur with musicians, visual artists, performers and theater: Krist_K, Fullogic, Enikő Buday, Lord Medúza, Attila Dóra, Maja, Radikális Szabadidő Theater, Emese aka Oscilla, PLE, Amimal Machine and the Finita La Comedia Art Group.
This act has already seen more than 200 concerts and performances, and has played all across Hungary, in Serbia, Poland, Belarus, Germany, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, France, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, United States of America, Mexico, and Italy.
The method of the Rovar17 audio collage technique:
- first step: Creation.
We create some artificial organisms. Because we haven?t got pure laboratory, and we can?t groom the test-tubes and instruments, the generated living beings are black-hearted.
- second step: Sampling.
We investigate the evil beings & make video and audio record of their behavior. Eventually, finds are presented live to the audience.
You Are Here
A collaborative sound project from Luke Munn and Johnny Chang, exploring the sounds of spaces with site-specific performance, recordings, and activations.
Johnny Chang - A violinist and composer based in Berlin, Germany, Chang studied composition and experimental music with Michale Pisaro, Mark Menzies and James Tenney. His articulated performances have been featured in numerous festivals and series around the world, most recently Maerz Musik. Influenced by the music of Christian Wolff, Salvatore Sciarrino, and Peter Ablinger, his own compositions explore space, silence, and tone. His Microscore Project is an ongoing work featuring dozens of composers, and to date has been performed in Los Angeles, Vancouver, New Zealand, and Berlin.
Luke Munn is a Berlin based sound-artist whose work incorporates performance, composition, and interdisciplinary projects. His practice centres around re-activating, and re-presenting real world sound - from the architecture of a space, to objects donated from the audience and field recordings. His work has featured in the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona and the Venice Biennale Eventi Collaterali, and performances in Berlin, Paris, New York, and Chicago, amongst others.
