Andreas Trobollowitsch presents his self-built mechanical turntables: rotating, carved wooden discs are played with small branches acting as tonearms. Through friction, texture, and continuously variable speeds, complex rhythmic patterns and flowing soundscapes emerge, layered with subtle, organic samples of wood and forest sounds. Andreas Trobollowitsch is an Austrian multidisciplinary composer and sound artist. He focuses on relations between structure, materiality, and time, with an emphasis on timbre and spatial perception. He received the Austrian State Scholarship for Composition and the Vienna City Annual Scholarship for Composition, and in 2017 he was selected as a SHAPE artist. His work has been presented internationally, including Konzerthaus Vienna, Musée des beaux-arts Rennes, Serralves Porto, Novas Frequências Rio de Janeiro, and Instituto Moreira Salles São Paulo. He has received commissions from institutions and ensembles such as Ensemble PHACE Vienna, Filmarchiv Austria, Musikprotokoll Graz, Todays Art The Hague, Synaesthesis Vilnius, Sinfonietta Rīga, and The Rhythm Method New York. His releases appear on Schraum (Berlin), Monotype (Warsaw), Crónica and Sonoscopia (Porto), mAtter and ato.archives (Tokyo), and Futura Resistencia (Brussels/Rotterdam). https://trobollowitsch.hotglue.me/ Karl Ekdahl is a musician, arts organizer and instrument designer.
