I was surprisingly glad about reactions from audiences, even someone climbed up to the stage at the end, you can see it in second photo🖤
Yuko Araki's superficially cool and expressionless but emotionally charged delivery was also special.
In Riga, Araki created a continuum of samples, noises and wave and noise material that, when hooked with rhythm, effectively bit the audience. Packed house tuned into the frequency, rushing in front of the stage so that towards the end of the show, participation was indulgent. Someone got even closer to the pulse by sticking her head in an enormous subwoofer, while another fan crawled on stage on all-four. No wonder, the poker-faced Araki bursted into a wide smile in the finale.
A great review of @skanumezsfestival on Finnish web magazine @soundilehti , words and photo by Matti Komulainen.

Moniek Darge / Vanessa Rossetto — Dream Soundies (Erstwhile)
Belgian Moniek Darge and American Vanessa Rossetto, are sound artists who work primarily with collected sounds. Each sources their material from a practice of recording everyday environments, but since their respective days are as different as their emotional orientations, their respective works are different. Darge has traveled the world, often seeking out what she finds to be sacred. Rossetto has spent her life in a small number of American cities, and her personal struggles tend to get folded into her work; she once made an album that dealt primarily with the sounds of a hotel room that she had trouble navigating and the limited distance that she could move when she escaped it.
Their differences prove to be complementary on Dream Soundies (Darge applies the word “soundies” to her audio productions, using the diminutive term to escape the limits of music). Together, these two women who are accustomed to working with anything at hand turn a selection of regular sounds into a soundtrack that is simultaneously ineffable and ordinary. It’s definitely a soundtrack, since sounds often deploy in a cinematic fashion. Loops create continuity, and the arrival of each new element — a chirping bird, a slammed door, a banging disco party, a distant hum that might be a car engine — advances the action as purposefully as the introduction of a new character or visual perspective moves a film along. But these action sequences do not add up to a narrative. Why should they? Sounds were around for a long time before stories, and their vibrations will surely persist much longer than story-bound humans are likely to last.
One might as easily turn to painting to metaphorically describe Dream Soundies. Each moment is layered with sounds, like a thick crust of oils applied to canvas over a span of time. Sirens wail and critters cluck, church bells toll and lesser metals clatter, flutes call and respond and harmonize in compatible disregard with music boxes and ducks. And just as a painter stops at just enough paint (or at least refuses to show you the works where they didn’t stop at the right time), even the densest moments of Dream Soundies are never overloaded. That’s what separates this work from, saying, opening the windows and turning on the TV and radio at the same time; it is arranged, and even if you can’t grasp the rules governing its arrangement, it resonates because of them.
