Evening program:
Eric Leonardson: Solo for Springboard
The Springboard is an experimental instrument to explore the sonic potential of coil springs and other readily available materials. The inaudible vibrations of these materials are amplified by a single very affordable piezo disc contact microphone. When played with cello bows and homemade friction mallets, it produces extraordinary sounds that belie the humble origins of these materials.

Brane Zorman: Hidden Materia
Sound performance/electro-acoustic composition for two computers, several networked iPads, controllers and a video projection audio work for broadcast (stereo), installation or live performance.

The sound composition and performance Hidden Materia (2014) is inspired by and conceived as an ongoing journey of the raw, liquid, vivid force of terrestrial magma carrying an unparalleled, hidden amount of energy and threat.

Petr Nikl: Cockroaching – Beetle Works
Kinetic-sound-visual performance. Robo-bugs dance seemingly chaotic pattern around their shepherd.
