Artists performing: Pia Palme, Isabella Forciniti, Paul Ebhart
I perform my new solo piece
THE BIG WITH
a performance ritual, using voice, bass recorder, electronics, video, paper
Consider the old hall: it sounds by itself. In my performance, it is my living collaborator. I ask for their permission. It is alive and speaks WITH me. It allows me to project my video onto its surface. The hall performs WITH my instrument, reflecting, resonating, masking sound waves. My voice is WITH the floor, crawling into the basement. No, this is (not) another kind of animism, it is purely scientific thinking. My breath enters my instrument, flows through the big tube and exits through holes and openings. Softly, my sounding breath touches the walls, the columns, and moves up towards the glass ceiling. I listen to its history. We bow to each other.

ISOLATION ISLAND – Reisebericht von einer Dämmerungslinie (2020)
This is the premiere of my 41 minute radio composition – or should I say radio experiment? – commissioned by KUNSTRADIO. It’s about my experiences and explorations as an artist in residence on Örö, a tiny island in the Finnish archipelago. Woven into field recordings, electronic music, and remixed compositions that were inspired by the residency, I talk and play my contrabass recorder. And, of course, I reflect upon some more recent observations about the lockdown, which reminded me so much about the exposed and isolated situation in Finland.

A post-residency concert & kick-off performance
of the FWF research project
On the fragility of sounds
A story about a personal journey to a remote island.
A performance, in times of transition,
to celebrate the beginning of my research project about music theatre.
“Twigs flap against my face, as I roam through boreal forests on Örö Linnake. I think of my grandfather and grandmother, my heart cracks wide open, with melancholy moods spilling out, drifting towards the twilight shoreline. Longing fills the air, beside crisp smells of sea kale. I listen deeply into the landscape, and into myself.”
“Erforschend
wenn nichts ist zur Unterhaltung
musst du hier bleiben
kannst nicht weg
weder zu Fuss noch zu Kopf
wenn, dann zu Herz”
(Örö, im November 2018)
Dusk songs entstand in einer Übergangszeit und markiert zugleich einen Anfang. Im letzten November hat für mich ein künstlerischer und persönlicher Prozess begonnen: den ganzen Monat hindurch lebte ich auf Örö, einer entlegenen, kleinen Insel im finnischen Archipelago. Als Artist in Residence erforschte ich die Insel, konnte dort schreiben, komponieren, üben (mein Instrument reiste mit mir), performen (an unterschiedlichen Orten, meist im Freien), filmen, aufnehmen, beobachten. Im Dämmerungsraum zwischen Herbst und Winter erlebte ich die einsame Landschaft als unerwartet abwechslungsreich und kleinräumig, vielseitig, zugleich ruhig und friedlich. Meinen täglichen Streifzüge brachten mich immer wieder an dieselben Orte, zu denselben Felsen, Buchten, Wäldern, Bäumen, und, ja, Pilzen. Ich entdeckte den Reichtum kleiner Veränderungen und verlor mich im diffusen Licht einer versinkenden, verborgenen Sonne.
Unmittelbar nach der Reise erfuhr ich, dass mein Antrag für ein künstlerisches Forschungsprojekt über Musiktheater vom FWF Austrian Science Fund bewilligt wurde. Unter dem Titel On the fragility of sounds arbeite ich somit, bis 2021, an Kompositionen im Feld Musiktheater, werde Projekte realisieren, weitere Kompositionsaufträge vergeben, sowie gemeinsam mit meiner Mitarbeiterin Christina Lessiak über diesen Prozess reflektieren und schreiben. Untertitel: Musiktheater als feministische Praxis. Für das Projekt springe ich als Komponistin kopfüber in die akademische Welt an der Kunstuni Graz. Die Performance Dusk Songs bringt erste Ergebnisse – oder vielmehr: erste Fragen und Reibungen – auf diesem Weg. Die Choreographin und Tanzperformerin Paola Bianchi wird mich dabei länger begleiten. Der Sängerin Anna Clare Hauf, der Oboistin und Lektorin Molly McDolan sowie dem hervorragendem Ensemble airborne extended und der Klangregisseurin Christina Bauer möchte ich für ihre künstlerische Mitarbeit danken. Da ich von der Barockmusik her komme und von dort vielfach inspiriert bin, ist das eine ideale Besetzung für eine erste Performance im Transit, für einen Ausgangspunkt. Überraschendes trat vor Kurzem über meine Familiengeschichte – genauer: über meinen Großvater väterlicherseits – zutage. Folglich wurzelt Dusk Songs tief in der Vergangenheit und weist zugleich in die Zukunft.

Örö Residency Programme | www.öres.fi
As Artist in Residence
I spend the entire month at Örö, a remote island in Finland
composing, performing, filming, writing.
In cooperation with Wien Modern 2018
Embedded Remote Security Blog
https://wienmodern.at/Home/WienModern/Embedded-Remote-Security-Blog
The residency and work is supported by SKE Fonds Austria and the
Örö Residency Programme.
During this residency, I plan to work on a series of outdoor and indoor performances, as well as associated compositions to be performed at a later time. The idea of my performances and experiments is to listen deeply into and at the specific sites, including plant and animal life, and at the same time into my own mind and body. In particular, I want to explore into the connection or conflicts between nature & humanity, warfare & artistic action, military architecture and biological patterns. I intend to look into closeness and distance in communication, working with perception, reflection, and imagination.
How far can I go?
How deep can I listen?
Do I still feel secure?
Can I stay with the trouble, with the precariousness?
Can I stay with the vulnerability and gentleness?
Where does sound find stability?
The proposed performances can be composed of several disciplines, such as music, sound art, field recording, video, installations, texts, and instrumental performance on site (I bring my Kueng-contrabass recorder). In my practice, the elements I compose with react and interact with each other, like living beings. Left alone, they develop a life of their own, in a biological way.
I understand what I do as putting together a hot heap of compost, that is, I bring together artistic and sonic matter – to ‘compose’ means to ‘bring together’. This way, the compositional practice becomes a biological process – composting as an approach towards art.

I present the performance lecture
No Noise is an Island –
Gender als performative Vielstimmigkeit
Kann ein Genderkonzept ‘mit anderen Ohren’ gedacht, komponiert und aufgeführt werden? Die Komponistin Pia Palme erforscht seit Jahren ihre Umgebung über die Wahrnehmung des Hörens. Für ‘No Noise is an Island’ geht sie von der Annahme aus, dass eine feministische Haltung die persönlichen Hörgewohnheiten verändern kann: das Hintergrundrauschen der Gesellschaft wird wahrgenommen, der jeweilige Umgebungsraum in seiner Stille und Tiefe ausgelotet. Die Verletzbarkeit der individuellen menschlichen Existenz wird zum fragilen Klangereignis, zum flüchtigen Geräusch. Körper werden hörbar und interagieren auf akustische Weise. Die Hörwahrnehmung ist ein kreativer und performativer Akt; das Ohr kann die Strukturen menschlicher Interaktionen in ihrer Vielstimmigkeit – samt den darin wirksamen Genderidentitäten – genau, detailliert, flexibel und als Ganzes kartografieren. Mit diesen Themen im Zusammenhang mit der aktuellen Neuverhandlung des Genderbegriffes gilt es, performativ zu experimentieren.
Die Künstlerin mischt dafür theoretische Untersuchungen mit Elementen des Storytelling sowie elektronische mit instrumentaler Musik. Ein Video über eine Insel aus Gras inmitten in einer Regenlache dient als Angelpunkt für einen vielfältigen Diskurs – über das Hören als feministische Praxis, über die Erforschung innerer und äußerer Klang- und Körperwelten und über den Kompositionsvorgang als politische Handlung. Die Komponistin stellt die Körperlichkeit der Performance der Entkörperung im digitalen Alltag gegenüber; sie präsentiert mit den Mitteln heutiger Musik ein Modell für ein polyphones Genderkonzept, das zugleich fließend und präzise sein kann.

HER VERY NOISE, HER GUISE (Palme 2017)
and works by Fabrice Fitch and Gavin Osborn
Two new scores are now ready to be performed later this year.
was commissioned by the Vienna-based choir Gegenstimmen. The ensemble connects people who love to sing and think politically. The text for STROPHE was provided by the choir, it was compiled from texts the singers had written. For the short and minimal composition, my focus was to organise and sculpt the singers as a social body. The choir becomes a community that vocally contracts and expands, and is at times synchronised, at other times not, sometimes in unison and sometimes divided into separate strings of voices with different sonic roles that keep changing. Organic minimalism?
Here, I take up an idea that had grown into a couple versions between 2011 and 2014 and bring it into a new form. I’m very much looking forward to hearing this one live; I love the baroque oboe instruments. The sheer haptic experience of the oboe da caccia is a feast: the curved instrument is coated with black leather. Also, thanks to the oboist and caccia-performer Molly McDolan, with whom I collaborated on a number of occasions; her expertise and marvellous instrument once again inspired the work.

Program note
“Für dieses Werk umkreise ich einen überaus großen Baum, eine gewaltige Platane. Dieses alte Lebewesen steht inmitten einer grünen Senke in einem Randbezirk von Wien, umringt von pastellfarbenen Häusern aus den Fünfzigerjahren (zum Großteil Sozialbauten der Gemeinde Wien, die bis zu neun Stockwerke hoch sind). Der Baum bildet ein mächtiges und doch ruhiges Zentrum, er füllt den Kreis der Bauten und ragt darüber hinaus in den Himmel. Er ist ein Relikt einer einst weiten Gartenlandschaft, die an dieser Stelle im 19. Jahrhundert angelegt wurde und mittlerweile längst zerteilt und verbaut ist. Der Bach zu seinen Wurzeln ist eingehäust; unbemerkt rinnt das Wasser heute tief unter den Häusern Stadt. Ich umrunde den Baum, ziehe engere Kreise. Stiller ist es hier und kühl, eine feuchte Frische steigt vom Boden auf und weckt ein fernes Bild einer Landschaft aus einer anderen Zeit. Die wuchtige Kraft der Platane berührt mich, ich horche hinter den Lärm der Stadt. Die feine Stimme der Sehnsucht durchbricht das Hintergrundrauschen der Vergänglichkeit. Unter der zerfurchten Rinde steigt meine Wut hinauf bis in die höchsten Äste und tanzt mit den Blättern im Wind.”

Program note
This work is written along the mechanisms of perception and listening, as observed by the composer during her process of working. The vocal part features fractured voice personalities: in a very personal way, Pia Palme re-composes ficticious inner and outer soundscapes. Intimate thoughts are voiced, hidden voices become audible, the “space between her ears” is amplified and appears as a noisy counterpart to the singing voice. In a format that draws on the baroque bass continuo structure, the solistic vocal part contrasts the cello part, with the bass flute hovering in between: the flute merges the flow of breath, articulation (an activity that connects to the speaking voice and happens in one’s mouth, in one’s body cavities) and instrumentality. Palme’s English and German text reflects on how perception, dreams, and imagination are fired by a deep longing to connect to the world.
