DESCRIPTION:20:00 Stefan Maier\n21:00 Pablo Diserens\n\nOn November 20th\, 
 LOM space will host the 66th edition of Mikrozvuk\, featuring performances
  by Pablo Diserens and Stefan Maier. What happens if we shift our perspect
 ive and sense of scale to embody that of a glacier? With this question in 
 mind and following their recent album “ebbing ice lines”\, Pablo Diser
 ens invites listeners into the sonic intimacy of glaciers and the Low Arct
 ic environments\, animals\, and technologies that surround them. Performin
 g spatially on a multiple-speaker set up\, Diserens proposes to journey do
 wnstream\, from the astonishing expressivity of glacial bodies\, via the d
 roning machineries of local scientists and industries\, to the tumultuous 
 birds and drift ice of the polar coastlines. Together\, these sounds form 
 an acoustic portrait of the Low Arctic and its vulnerability. Pablo Disere
 ns (they/them) is a field recordist\, artist\, and the co-founder and cura
 tor of the publishing house forms of minutiae. Pablo is devoted to listeni
 ng practices\, non-human realities\, and possible forms of interspecies co
 existence. In practice\, Diserens plays with a wide array of microphones t
 o listen to the minute\, often little-known and inaudible\, sounds of anim
 als\, geologies\, and technologies. Rooted in ecological engagement and si
 te-specificity\, their work emphasizes listening as a political practice t
 hat centers presence and permeation for a radical planetary interrelation.
  Imaginary Magnitude explores digital synthesis as a technology for specul
 ative worlding. Empty\, originless sounds sketch crude alternate models of
  reality: a cartoonish synthetic bouncing ball obeys the physics of anothe
 r world\; natural phenomena unfold under unknown atmospheric conditions\; 
 an uncanny speech-organ—evolved along some divergent evolutionary pathwa
 y—jabbers on in comedic abjection. In imaginary magnitude\, synthetic so
 und becomes both aesthetic vehicle and organon for these speculative reali
 ties\, reconfiguring perceptual frameworks and estranging us from habituat
 ed modes of listening. Stefan Maier is an artist and composer from Vancouv
 er\, Canada — the unceded\, traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy
 ̓əm (Musqueam)\, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)\, and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-
 Waututh) Nations. His multimedia installations\, performances\, writings\,
  and compositions explore sound as a tool for speculative worlding. Highli
 ghting material instability and unruliness\, his work explores the flows o
 f sonic matter through buildings\, sound systems\, instruments\, software\
 , and bodies\, to uncover minor histories\, sonic fictions\, and alternate
  modes of listening and authorship. His work has been presented by institu
 tions such as INA-GRM (FR)\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (DE)\, Festival d
 ’Automne (FR)\, Julia Stoschek Foundation (DE)\, Liquid Architecture (AU
 )\, Deutschlandfunk Kultur (DE)\, or Ultima festival (NO). --- This projec
 t is supported by the City of Bratislava\, the capital of the Slovak Repub
 lic.
