Interviews about sound 07-Michal Cáb

Michal Cáb (*1980) works with sound and image, he is known for his inconspicuous activism and natural humbleness, he is creative, inventive and also a self-collected lonely runner. He plays, teaches and works with open software Pure Data (PD), code and feed-back. In his audio-visual performances he lays equal emphasis on both noise and silence and radically interprets their aesthetic quality.

In the series of thirteen audio-interviews recorded during the autumn 2013 Johana Švarcová spoke to artists who use in different ways „the non-visual element“ – sound. For some of the artists that she addressed, working with sound, sound art, development of instruments (hardware and software), radio art or sound installations have become their major field of interest. Other artists deal with sound or sound track (e.g. video) in their own specific ways.

Interviews about sound 07-Michal Cáb
Ondřej Doskočil knows the weight of inherited political layers of the black metal genre as well as of the problems contained in musealisation and sensation craving colonization of subcultures by marketing ideology. As an insider and a musician he can also distinguish, untangle and give voice to the symbol systems inside of this extreme metal subgenre that would otherwise not speak to uninvolved people at all, or that would not even be heard over the all-encompassing noise. The format of the mobile phone shot "exhibition walkthrough" could confuse while detecting what is the medium he refers to.
