Call for music/sound during a Balkan exhibition by Harry Szeemann

[Dr. Karlheinz Essl]

To whom it may concern:

Currently I am preparing a series of 4 concerts/performances and 
eventually sound installations which will accompany an exhibition on 
contemporary art of the Balkan, curated by  Harry Szeemann (former 
Biennale di Venezia director). This show entitled "Blut und Honig" 
("Blood and Honey") will be presented between May 15th - Sep 28th, 
2003 at the Sammlung Essl in Klosterneuburg/Vienna:

I am searching musicians and composers from the Balkan who are 
engaged with electronic music, (interactive) sound installations and 
live performances and who have to capability to perform their works 
themselves (--- persons acting as composer/performer).

"Balkan" here refers to the following countries: Croatia, Serbia, 
Slovenia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Macedonia (and all other parts of 
former Yugoslavia), Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Turkey.

I am mostly interested in individuals or groups which are reflecting 
their socio-cultural heritage into an contemporary language using 
electronic media with/out acoustical instruments (preferably those 
instruments which are also used in folk music, but without just 
reproducing it).

Cheers,
