SKOP Festival • computermusic IV
In cooperation with ECHOFLUXX, Prague - www.echofluxx.org
9./10. September 2022
Hall of University of Frankfurt
Computer music is a very broad genre. From sound synthesis with MAX/MSP at Julia Mihály, waveset synthesis at Bernd Schurer to Dan Senn, who uses the computer as a "simple tool" or Peter Wiessenthaner, who writes programs for augmented reality instruments, the possibilities of using the computer in music uses are extremely diverse. Only a few are mentioned here. We are pleased to be able to present these artists at SKOP.
We were pleased that Harald Kubiczak presented his new book, "Sound Art at Kästrich – recordings 1991–1999", Verlag Circuit-Art_ with us. The book was published in August 2022. In this book there is also an article about Dan Senn.

NOW
SKOP-Festival • 20./21.9.2019
Hall of University of Frankfurt
Why does a probe need to fly nine times on Earth, Venus, and Mercury, so it can fly into orbit around Mercury? How can a composition be realized that requires a certain spatial expansion? How does the Great Beerer Reef get into a concert hall? How is a performance to be understood in which music, the fine arts, performance meet? Is this music when only "noises" are heard?
Are we getting satisfying answers to these questions?

Traditional and new instruments
25 years SKOP
22.- 23. September 2018 • Hall of University of Frankfurt • Frankfurt am Main
In our festival we presented contributions with traditional and novel instruments. We explored the question of what makes the difference between new and old instruments. What is the advantage of a new instrument, where is the disadvantage? Can instruments with tempered tuning be used with instruments that are free from tempering? What are the difficulties?
This festival was about these questions. We were curious to see which "solutions" the various participants presented on 22 and 23 September 2018. The final improvisation with Birgit Ulher, trumpet - tempered; Peter Wiessenthaner, electronic bass flute and special acoustic flute - not tempered; Thomas Gerwin, drums and not least Claudia Robles-Angel, Electronic Music; gave a musical answer to the questions asked above.
The festival took place in the hall of the old university of the city of Frankfurt am Main, participants were:

Music with usual means II
10th and 11th of November, 2017, 8 pm
In the hall of the Cyriaksgemeinde • Alexanderstrasse 37 • 60489 Frankfurt am Main
Usual means such as well-known instruments, objects, and methods meet us in this event. But you treated like her was anything but "usual". More than 20 years ago presented SKOP 1996 already once an event under this title. If we introduced at that time artists who experimented with the bar code or with the overhaed projector with an very special voice-performance, you then met as "usual" as a violin, a guitar, a saxophone or a bass flute in the two evenings. Or so usual instruments as: violin machine or electronically steered flute. However: Music with usual means. Oh anyhow we forget it: So usual means like an ISS experiment to the origin of the Chondren.
