Bjarni Gunnarsson - Vicinity pulse
'Vicinity pulse' is an interactive electroacoustic composition that concerns scope, influence and fluidity of sonic events. It represents in some sense a simplification. Processes that focus on pulsations, clear events and straight synthetic pitches. It brings forward a certain view of mutual influence. How to engage with a running process, but also to let it evolve and be open to its influences? It always takes a certain time to perceive important characteristics of a sound process. These boundaries and the ways of interacting with a changing development is an important element of the piece. 'Vicinity pulse' is composed in 2017 for a 4-channel environment.

Eventless plot - Reoccurrencies
In Ephémère Eventless plot will present two electroacoustic semi- compositions based on a variety of material. By manipulating field recordings ,analog sources, electronics and other instruments the trio is trying to amplify similarities and oppositions occurring from the multidimensionality of sound.
Eventless Plot borrows elements from different genres and aesthetics to build their own hybrid of sound. Formed in Thessaloniki in 2002 by Vasilis Liolios, Aris Giatas and Yiannis Tsirikoglou, the trio exhibits great attention to sonic details expressed in different forms of experimentalism. From free impro and noise to new electronica, electroacoustic composition and jazz, their music remains always unconventional and contemporary. They use a variety of instruments, analog sources, field recordings and Max/MSP patches. Eventless plot often collaborate with Chris Cundy (bass clarinet), Angelica Vasquez Salvi (harp) and Stefanos Lazaristos (bass saxophone). Eventless plot have several releases in their archive including “ikon” (Granny records 2009), “Recon” (Aural terrains 2012), “Points of attraction” (Another timbre 2013), “Structures” (Creative sources 2014) and “Killing Realism” (Granny records 2015). Moreover, the trio has performed live in different cities such as Bologne, Milan (O gallery), Thessaloniki, Porto (Sonoscopia), Coimbra (Salao Brazil), Skopje (Swiss music days festival), Athens (Synch festival). Eventless Plot are also working on designing sound and composing for art installations, films and dance projects.
