Program Charles kwong is a composer from Hong Kong whose practice approaches music as collective experiential situations – within, but also beyond, listening and sounds.His creative output spans orchestral music, collaborations with performers across diverse musical cultures, site-specific and transdisciplinary projects that depart from the conventional concert paradigm, and the exploration of performativity in electronic sound synthesis. Rituals, fictionality, chaotic systems, nonhuman temporality, social ordering in performances, and intertextuality and hauntology arising from classical forms are some recurring core preoccupations that underpin his creative process and agenda across different media.

feyz (emre sar.) comes from Istanbul, Turkey and is since 2009 based in Zürich, Switzerland. Since an early age he has been engaged in improvised musical practices as a bass player and middle eastern instruments. Having a keen interest in electronics and computer science, he stepped into the world of synthesizers and modular electronics which lead him to develop his style combining microtonal music and electroacoustic improvisation, and explores rhythmic, harmonic or atonal patterns by use of analog synths and acoustic instruments that intervene and mix into one another in noisier and quieter ways.
Description Acousmo is a concert and sound art series focused on intentional listening. It offers a space for concentrated engagement with live sound and aims to counter the fast and superficial consumption of music. In this cycle, Acousmo introduces a new format: each evening begins with two solo performances by musicians or sound artists that are curated by the community. These are followed by an improvised set where both artists perform together. The program concludes with DJ sets.
