iubar project

04.07 Tue 19:00

Iubar is a project by Pol­ish artist Mar­tin Kos­zolko, based in Aus­tralia, a music pro­duc­er known for his col­lab­o­ra­tion with the elec­tron­ic acts KOshowKO and Phi­los­o­phy of Sound. The philo­soph­i­cal­ly charged music of the iubar project is an ode to resis­tance and hope; it invites lis­ten­ers to con­front the raw real­i­ty of a world in cri­sis and to look towards a pos­si­ble future.

The char­ac­ter­is­tic sound of iubar is ambi­ent cre­at­ed using a mix­ture of ana­logue and dig­i­tal instru­ments and field record­ings. In live per­for­mances the musi­cian employs mobile music-mak­ing tech­nolo­gies as well as audi­ence sam­pling tech­niques. The artist inves­ti­gates impro­vi­sa­tion and co-impro­vi­sa­tion tech­niques, and the agency of the audi­ence in elec­tron­ic per­for­mance, using, among oth­er things, live sam­pling of voic­es and non-ver­bal sounds pro­duced by the audience.

Be part of the concert

We encour­age you to record and send, before the con­cert, a response to the ques­tion: “col­lec­tive­ly or individually”?

Here are a few fur­ther prompts (though you can also speak freely with­out them):

Do you believe there is strength in num­bers? Or are you more of a lone wolf type?

When are you in your ele­ment — work­ing with oth­ers or independently?

Do you have any wild sto­ries about group projects or indi­vid­ual work? Share them!

Do you know what your “super­pow­ers” are in team­work or as an individual?

Do you pre­fer team­work and brain­storm­ing, or do you pre­fer to make a deci­sion alone and act quick­ly with­out consultation?

What obsta­cles do you encounter when work­ing as a team or indi­vid­u­al­ly? How do you deal with them?

Do you have any fun­ny anec­dotes about sit­u­a­tions when col­lab­o­ra­tion pro­duced great results, or on the con­trary, took chaos to a high­er level?

Audio sam­ples sub­mit­ted online and record­ed live dur­ing the per­for­mance at Hash­tag Lab are syn­the­sised, sequenced and processed by the per­former using mobile devices. The per­former will present 2 dif­fer­ent musi­cal inter­pre­ta­tions of the sound mate­r­i­al record­ed with the audi­ence, and the audi­ence will be able to choose their favourite ver­sion by vote.

The Con­tem­po­rary Music Space Hash­tag Lab is co-financed by the Cap­i­tal City of Warsaw.
