Digital Musics & Sound Art Anerkennung - Honorary Mention 2011

Not by Note

Serhat Karakayali, sebastian meissner
In search of new ways to explore power, religion and identity through art, Sebastian Meissner and Serhat Karakayali have invited eight musicians from the Middle East and former Yugoslavia to a one-week art lab in Banja Luka, jointly elaborating a psychogeographical score that critically describes the mesh of relationships between the two regions and Western Europe.

A collective composition was presented as a six-channel sound installation and a live-streaming Kunstradio performance at musikprotokoll 2010 in Graz.
Workshop participants: Boikutt (PAL), Dror Feiler (IL/SE), Amir Husak (US/BA), Manja Ristic (SER), Asmir Sabic (BIH), Cynthia Zavan (LB), Jan Rohlf (DE), Premil Petrovic (SER), Sharif Sehnaoui (LB)
