</div><div><br><br></div>\\\ Artistic Residency at MAAJAAM<br>Valgamaa, EE.<br><p>- The residency will serve to
develop new writing towards the realisation of a new musical
performance for body technologies to be premiered at Spectrum, NYC, this October.<br></p>
<p>MAAJAAM is a project space in an old farm in Estonian countryside
where art meets technology. Substituting the urban environment with a
hilly rural landscape allows us to observe technology in it’s pure form
and analyze it’s connections to us and the nature.<br><a href="http://maajaam.ee/">http://maajaam.ee/</a></p><p><br></p>\\\ Olematute kylade projekt / Project for Non-existent Villages<br>Võru, EE.<br><p>- One-day tour playing electro-acoustic and biophysical music across several abandoned villages in the Estonian countryside. <br>
</p><p>Expect some modular and visceral sounds resonating crackling walls:</p><p><a href="http://macumbista.net/?page_id=482">http://macumbista.net/?page_id=482</a><br><a href="http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/ominous/">http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/ominous/</a><br>
</p>
<p>Audience, curators and artists travel together on a bus throughout a
whole day of sound, silence, ghost houses and unexpected acoustics.
Those villages are considered as null pointers; those points existing on
maps and in cultural memory but which have lost the objects being
refered to. Participating artists excavate embedded meanings in these
culturally changing environments and search for intersections of
traditional and contemporary cultural practices.</p><p>Book a spot for on the bus for 1 Euro by emailing to <a href="mailto:buss@taavisuisalu.com">buss@taavisuisalu.com</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>\\\ Soundboxes + Xth Sense workshops<br>
