Ö1 Kunstradio is joining the international Art’s Birthday parties for the 20th time in 2019!
The celebrations will take place in the ORF Funkhaus in Studio 3 in Vienna with Electric Indigo, Martin Brandlmayr and Nicholas Bussmann with the piano robot by Winfried Ritsch, Bela Elektra Brillowska and Felix Kubin, verenasinn and Mirre M & Luma.Launisch.
For Kunstradio’s contribution to the EBU Satellite the Austrian DJ and composer Electric Indigo will develop her new piece Ferrum [2019] celebrating the birthday of art. Ferrum is a large-scale exploration of inharmonic timbres, oscillating between brutal grinding textures and intricate percussive singularities, created by digitally transforming recordings of various metallic objects.
Electric Indigo, DJ, composer, musician, has performed in 38 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. She represents an intelligent and distinguished interpretation of techno and electronic music. Her DJ-sets are characterized by a wide variety with a clarity of vision and a depth that comes from a deep understanding of the music and the art of DJing. As a composer and musician, she creates music for concert spaces, clubs, sound installations and occasionally for stage plays and short films. In her compositions and live performances, she emphasizes the spatial-temporal placement of subtly elaborated sounds and structures, often generated from speech recordings. Electric Indigo shuttles between Vienna and Berlin.
Electric Indigo’s first solo album was released on imbalance computer music in March 2018.
