THE GATE, A FREQUENCY PROGRAM (in alphabetical order): »a gesture of a triangle« by aloisius »Chromatic Circles« by Tony Wagner »When Dust Settles« by Ursula Winterauer The Vienna based music labels and event promoters Tender Matter and Ventil Records joined forces for a collaborative event to mark their respective fifth and tenth anniversaries. The program will feature two premieres of new works by Tony Wagner and aloisius, specifically commissioned for this occasion, and one Viennese premier of a work by Ursula Winterauer aka Gischt. The architectural and acoustic properties of the AIL – with the fomer cashier hall – are a constitutive element in the conception of the works being presented. The program explores the perceptual boundaries between composed music and sound performance, with pieces anticipated to engage with methodologies and aesthetics of ambient, drone, noise, and contemporary classical music. The selected date, set in a period of seasonal transition, informs a conceptual framework examining themes of structural permeability, communal gathering in response to external conditions, and the potential for auditory experience to serve as a site for collective imagination and discursive disruption. The event positions itself as an inquiry into the capacity of sound to reshape the perception of architectural and social space. Tender Matter (5 years) and Ventil Records (10 years) have established themselves as significant institutions within the Austrian experimental music scene. This collaboration underscores their ongoing commitment to the facilitation and documentation of avant-garde practices, providing a platform for the development and presentation of new work by both local and international artists.
