KCMD x DAAD

With Yana Shliabanska, Javier Areal Vélez

The KCMD x DAAD programme taking place this autumn brings together DAAD Music & Sound Fellows and artists and cultural professionals from Ukraine to present collaborative sound projects they developed during their shared time in Berlin. For the first installment on October 26, Yana Shliabanska and Javier Areal Vélez will welcome you in a very special sonic setting at Grüner Salon. Developed and produced by Sebastian Dürer, Lina Martin-Chan (DAAD Artists), Les Vynogradov and Albert Saprykin (Kyiv Contemporary Music Days) Yana Shliabanska is a composer and sound artist, author of the chamber, orchestral music, interactive sound installations, music for theatre and performances, and electroacoustic music, which has been performed in Ukraine, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Germany, Spain, and the USA. She graduated from the National Academy of Music in Kyiv (Faculty of Composition). After a long trajectory as a cultural manager (Javier Areal Vélez founded the experimental music series RUIDO, which he still directs, and also coordinated the Sound Art Center – CASo in Argentina), and as a musician who focuses on unconventional uses of the electric guitar, his recent artistic work cedes structural control to autonomous robots. The human being becomes part of a bio-mechanical assemblage—not as an expressive agent, but as one negotiator among many forces.
