Satch Hoyt, born in London of British and African-Jamaican ancestry, is currently living and working in Berlin, Germany. He makes sculptures and installations accompanied with sound, as well as paintings and drawings.

There is a dichotomy in the genres that define two sides of the same coin: a dual and complementary reflection on the African Diaspora and its multi-fold consequences. The sculptural trope in Hoyt’s work addresses the facts on the ground, so to speak, of black experience, while the drawings tap into a spirit of fantasy, refuge, and transcendence - they are vehicles for an imaginative journey beyond the obduracy and oppressiveness of history. 

With regards to his musical accomplishments Satch Hoyt has composed a number of songs with Grace Jones; noteworthy, is 7 Day Weekend which is on the triple platinum soundtrack album of the Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang. Hoyt played flute on Louise Bourgeois’ OTTE, and is flautist - percussionist in Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber since 2001.

Hoyt has sung and played on numerous recordings and has recently recorded a new album in Berlin, Battlefields Of Peace, under the pseudonym Pharaoh Dreams which includes guest musicians Julia Kent (Anthony and the Johnsons), Cass Lewis (Skunk Anansie), Earl Harvin (Me’shell Ndegocello) and Dave Smoota Smith (TV On The Radio). The album is co-written and co-produced with Dirk Leyers.

Berlin's influence on the creative processes of migrant artists (Hybrid presentation with Q&A)

Berlin has attracted musicians from different disciplines and parts of the world for decades. But what makes Berlin so attractive for artists? My project seeks to understand Berlin's magnetism for so many artists residing in this city. In particular, I focus on understanding how this city affects the creative processes of migrant artists and how these processes intervene in the artists' perception of identity. Through interviews with migrant artists, understanding the history of this city, and making an autoethnography of where I am the subject of study, I intend to know how the experience of living in Berlin shapes my artistic direction. On the other hand, I question how this experience transformed my identity in a city that opened the door to explore different places previously hidden from me.  

/// About Carri 

Sebastián Carrizosa, aka Carri, personal and professional explorations draw on a wide range
of influences. His endeavours range
from the school of jazz music, through the raw sounds of noise and
punk rock, to the polyrhythmic sounds native to the Caribbean and West Africa, through to the manifestation of common meeting points via the sophistication of pop. Sebastián has often experienced a creative torrent that has empowered
him in creating a furious, wild and profound collection of songs throughout his career.
In other moments, according to the broader creative environment,
this strength has been adequately adapted dependent upon the creative
direction and roles as defined by colleagues.

The Amoeba´s Offering (Installation)

Nature is regarded as beautiful. Its image is often serene, a romantic imagination of an untouched landscape. However, how often are we able to see these kinds of landscapes? Do they still exist? The project investigates the extent to which moving images can successfully engage with and promote ecological thought, both within the subject and throughout the production process. It focuses on the ecosystem of moving images, using varying methods to record footage with both digital and analogue techniques. 

In collaboration with Creative Production (Film) MA student, Isabel Villalonga Ortiz, The Amoeba´s Offering is a video installation which transports you into the watery depths of Berlin, away from its external screams and into its consciousness. We find an ancient amoeba who’s eager to tell their story of the land, reconstructing the discarded fragments of memories into a new kingdom. The Amoeba is ready to show you, but will you listen?

/// About Charlie Black

Co_evolve (Spoken presentation with Q&A and installation)

Co_evolve explores the intersection of art, technology, and societal ethics, highlighting issues such as widespread data collection by companies and governments. This project delves into data privacy concerns in today's digital age using advanced technology to track microorganisms in real-time and sonify their data using complex sound design. It challenges traditional artistic boundaries by offering a multisensory experience that critiques the effects of data on privacy. Utilising tools like Yolov8 Object Detection and TouchDesigner, combined with soundscapes created in Ableton Live, the project uses biological specimens as symbols for how our data is being unknowingly collected and the complexities of human-technology interactions. Co_evolve is more than an artistic endeavour; it is a comprehensive exploration designed to engage and provoke thought among audiences through various formats. It emphasises the critical role of art in discussing and reflecting on current ethical issues, showcasing a unique fusion of technical prowess and philosophical depth.

Hard Shell (Spoken presentation with Q&A)

Artistic research on how the patriarchal system and the socially promoted gender norms influence heterosexual romantic relationships. This research aims to explore how the socialisation of men and women and specifically the development of patriarchal masculinity affects heterosexual relationships. It will explore how this type of a performative identity affects the characters involved and their relationship. This study aims to shed light on how the development within a relationship is not independent of the patriarchal system in which people are socialised. Its main objectives are the exploration of cases of gendered expectations and subtle forms of abuse within heterosexual relationships and the development of a fictional narrative that can represent the effects of the patriarchal system within a romantic relationship.

/// About Evgenia Papazisi

Evgenia Papazisi is a filmmaker and actress from Athens, Greece. She is currently doing her master’s degree in creative film production at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology. Her bachelor’s degree was in English and Drama and she graduated from Queen Mary University of London where she mainly focused on stage directing and performance art. She is interested in exploring the concepts of human connection, community and romance within the socio-political context of the patriarchal and capitalist western societies through the mediums of film and performance art. Her practice aims to examine the various influences of the individualism that is enforced by this system on the human experience.

Other Voices (Spoken presentation with Q&A and installation)

This research project explores the boundaries of the auditorily familiar to find insights into the unfamiliar and presents its findings in an immersive auditive field. Sound explorations and fictitious narratives of encounters with the unfamiliar form the basis of several experimental modules, ranging from spectromorphology to speech analysis, spatial audio distribution methods and avant-garde vocal techniques. To expand upon the concept of immersion, the researcher enters the field of immersion on a meta-level, exploring possibilities of relating to fictitious characters by becoming one of the characters himself and sharing sensory experiences with fictitious characters created by him. The final format is to be a spatial audio play. It follows 10 protagonists, portrayed by 10 speakers in a room, encountering the unfamiliar in various fictitious worlds, which question the linearity of time and space, playing with the physical and thematic separation between them through music, vocal sound design, and soundscaping.

/// About Jonas Kern 

Multimedia artist Jonas Kern has published work in the form of soundtracks, audio-visual live events, installations, and pure audio albums. Some of the films he scored have been screened at various international film and short-film festivals, while his installation and live art is based in Berlin.

Systems aesthetics in electronic music: a manifesto (Spoken presentation with Q&A)

This project serves as an initial investigation into the impact of applying the concept of systems aesthetics to the composition of electronic music. So far, this process has involved a practical exploration into how aspects of systems theory can help us to better understand and develop compositional techniques and technologies. The final focus of this project lies more in the philosophical effects of situating electronic music composition within a modernised conception of systems aesthetics. Using my own relationship with the theory surrounding systems aesthetics and its connection to my compositional practice, I will present a manifesto outlining the results I have found and explain why I think this consciousness around the concept of systems in the composition of electronic music may be useful to other artists and other disciplines. 

/// About Joshua Mellard

Josh Em (Joshua Mellard) is an electronic musician from West Yorkshire (UK), currently based in Berlin (DE). His focus currently lies in the production of his own musical work, and with both live electronic and DJ performances. Josh is particularly interested in playing with musical structure, using concepts involved in his masters degree research into systems theory and systems aesthetics to develop this. He is passionate about understanding music in terms of its connections, be they aesthetic or contextual, rather than through often arbitrary distinctions.

Land other (Installation)

Land Mother is a photographic projection capturing the intimate bond immigrants share with their homeland. Centring on queer and female perspectives, this project explores the transformation of memory through embodiment. Exploring how sound, textures, and smells bring back unexpected memories. Inspired by the concept of the "motherland," Land Mother draws parallels between our relationship with our homeland and motherhood. Our relationships with our mothers can be complex and uneasy. Land Mother produces the former sentiment analogous to the volatile connection to our homeland, a figment marred by both love and pain.

By allowing participants to select the memories they embody, Land Mother ensures their voices remain at the heart of the project.

/// About Karo Pelc

Long American Film (Screening & interview)

This project is an adaptation of the play Film Ameriki Tawil by Ziad Al Rahbani, a Lebanese director and composer. The title of the play translates to Long American Film. It tells the story of several patients in a mental hospital in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war in the late 1970s, all of whom were admitted to the hospital due to traumatic experiences caused by the war.

The adaptation took the form of a mashup short film, combining elements of the mentioned play and the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Miloš Forman, 1975). The mashup short film depicts a shared narrative of a group of individuals who endured war-related trauma. The remarkable aspect was the uncanny parallels that emerged between the two pieces.

/// About Lara Khattar

The Sound of Memory (Spoken presentation with Q&A)

The project explores the way to build collective memory practices through an artistic approach. This under the crescent wave of musicians approaching new genres and raising the popularity of a national identity that processes collective pain through culture. I’m analysing a key moment for artists from Colombia’s capital and our responsibility of building a discourse that’s self reflected about the ghosts of our shared experiences.

/// About Maria Paula Mondragón

Berlin-based Colombian artist exploring the electronic music world beyond her long journey in live performances with Bogotan band, Babelgam and as live sound engineer for other acts. Inspired by the musical diversity of both cities that fuel this project (Bogotá and Berlin), María’s solo project Gugol Maps is a result of the investigation within the sound of memory. This process seeks to understand the core of being a Colombian during post-conflict times from a musical and sonic perspective.

This isn't Me, This is a Representation of Me (Spoken presentation with Q&A)

People; including queer trans, non binary, female-presenting and colonised bodies have been mainly viewed through the male, colonialist heteronormative gaze. Being able to take pictures for themselves, having this autonomy to see their process of exploration, mutation, shape shifting, to keep an image of themselves, or to share to the world how they feel comfortable is emotional, personal and raw. It becomes a small ritual for a person taking their picture in the moment, it can be spontaneous or very curated. I will argue that this relatively new process of representation isn’t superficial. It can be a way of self expression, nostalgia, and a way for the queer community to share themselves, explore their visual identity and ultimately explore the bodies they inhabit. My research is about this self exploration through photography and this place to find themselves and present themselves in a more accurate way.

Leaving a Lover (Performance)

This musical theatrical performance-in-making has a fairytale as the main inspiration for the content. By investigating fairytale changes through history and following archetypal messages in research, POMA, as a performer, pays attention to those moments in the story when emotions were not told or expressed. The idea is that music allows the character to reflect on what happened. Imagining a character who is going through breaking up a relationship and asks Autumn for help in letting go, the performer on stage is an older woman who embodies all women in us: the one who needs help, the one who can provide advice, and the one who is telling the story. Through seven songs and performative intermission, we follow non-linear storytelling built upon archetype reading, fear of letting go  and associative series.

/// About POMA

Through the author's alias POMA, Maja Posavec combines her musical and theatrical practice, creating projects as an experimental approach to personal storytelling in theatre. “Leaving a Lover” is a continuation of her exploration in this field.

The Mirror With a Soul (Installation)

In the rapidly expanding field of performance music and sound installations, gesture mapping technology is emerging as a significant innovation. In the past, mechanical audio output was primarily generated through the physical interaction of instruments with the human body. However, contemporary music studios have evolved into multi-device environments equipped with specialised musical equipment to fulfil various tasks, including sound synthesis, recording, and mixing. Modern electronic music performers must closely manage a myriad of pre-recorded instruments, software, and rhythms, which limits their ability to utilise more traditional human-computer interaction methods. In contrast, gesture mapping technology utilises cameras and algorithms to capture gestures, enabling interaction between the human body and computerised instruments. The goal of this research project is to design a "soulful mirror" capable of capturing users' movements and transforming them into sound. This novel sound device allows participants to engage in sound interaction with their own bodies, thus sparking reflection on the relationship between humans, nature and the ecological environment.
