Associates curators is hosting : Otter Holding Hands by Ambra Viviani, Giulietta OHH, season 3, Loving in Between 2025  Artists: ALY-X & Gotgha Title: Elegy for the Age of Spasm co-production: Giulietta and Lumpen Station supports: Pro Helvetia, FSRC - SWISSPERFORM  “Turning and turning in the widening gyre  The falcon cannot hear the falconer;  Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,  The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere  The ceremony of innocence is drowned”  William Butler Yeats, “The Second Coming,” 1919 This piece is a sonification of the final moments of Joan of Arc’s here-and-now existence, as portrayed in The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). It follows the procession leading her to the stake, and her appeal to God for safe passage — free from suffering. The call expressed in this piece is not directed toward God — and yet, it calls out nonetheless. Calling into the void. Calling the unknown. Death — one of the most mysterious transitions, whether into non-existence or into one of the afterlives proposed by various religions. A passage, nevertheless. This unknown is often aesthetically framed by culture. Graveyards, for instance, not only offer a resting place for the dead; they also provide a frame for the unknown that death embodies — soothing, perhaps, in the sense that death lies beyond experience. Aesthetically, this piece borrows from black metal — a genre that often revolves around death, giving it shape, sound, and landscape. This musical work is a sonic framing of that unknown. BIO ALY-X, the solo moniker of artist Aleyna Günay. She works with sound, sculpture, installation, performance, and writing, and critically examines power and control, exploring how these forces shape and influence systems and individuals. Since starting her project ALY-X in Paris in 2018, where she collaborated with artists from the scene, she has performed at venues such as LUFF, cave12, Palace, and Karmen Camina in Switzerland and Europe. Her recent exhibition was shown at CAN Centre d’art Neuchâtel as part of Plattform 25. ALY-X is a reflection of perpetual violence. Her new project, Malrine, emerged to shed light on that violence. She combined both projects on this record, alongside Gotgha. Gotgha (aka Luc Häfliger, they/them) is a Zurich-based composer, performer, and sound artist.Their practice revolves around the question of how we can recode space through sonic experience. Through the lens of noise, they explore sonic and performative states in which the boundaries between control and ecstasy become fluid. Their works seamlessly weave together composition and improvisation. They are a founding member of doxa shroti, a collective that organizes monthly guerrilla concerts in underpasses—acts of listening and community-building within Zurich’s experimental music scene. As a collaborator, Gotgha regularly performs and composes alongside Joseph Baan, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with Baan’s performance and visual arts practice. They also work closely with Margaretha Jüngling, creating sonic environments for her multisensory performances. Gotgha’s work has been presented in both national and international contexts, including les Urbaines, Drifts Festival Helsinki, Kunsthalle Zürich, Kunsthalle Baselland, Tanzhaus Zürich, ZKM Karlsruhe, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, and various performances in Yogyakarta and Taipei.

Associates curators is hosting : Otter Holding Hands by Ambra Viviani, Giulietta OHH, season 3, Loving in Between 2025  Artists: Elena Matamoro & Iago Fernández Title: IN BETWEEN VIBRATION-S co-production: Giulietta and Lumpen Station supports: Pro Helvetia, FSRC - SWISSPERFORM  Vibration that exists in sound related to the degradation in color and Nature  The experience that we want to talk about through our sound composition is the space in between vibrating waves, where the in-between sound, its waves or vibrations are found in different intensities in color, relating the space that sound occupies (and the fading of such) to the degradation of color that exists from one color to another. We also can find this “in betweenness” in Nature when the Wind talks and whistles their numerous symphonies The sound is divided into three movements and we interacted with self recordings from the wind, an harmonica played by the wind, a piano, its sounding board, a flugelhorn and a drum set. BIOs Elena Matamoro Elena Jones, is a multidisciplinary artist and composer from Vigo, Galicia (1997).She studied Fine Arts in Pontevedra and in Lisbon.

After this she could do her Masters in Art Gender and Nature at HGK, FHNW, Basel, where she is still living and working. She did different Art Residencies in Iceland and Mexico, developing different specific projects for each place. She focuses in sound even though her works always have a visual base, where nature and theoretical music, imagination, and poetry come along and have their own way of existence in the investigation that she has been following for at least seven years, called, ‘The look that listens’ Iago Fernandez Iago Fernández is a drummer who plays and composes as if he were writing poetry. He studied the Masters in Basel and won the FOCUS programme finishing his studies in 2023. Fernández explores his inner self and deals with the essence of his psyche. A balancing act between sun and ocean, light and dark. His spectrum ranges from jazz music to Radiohead, from classical music to popular music from Brazil, Portugal and Galicia, recorded on six albums with collaborators such as Mark Turner, Yumi Ito, Joris Roelofs, Reinier Elizarde "El Negrón", Enrique Oliver and André Fernandes, among others.
