ABOUT THE CON­FER­ENCE:
In col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Zurich Uni­ver­sity of the Arts, Gen­der Re­la­tions in New Music will re­al­ize the GRiNM Net­work Con­fer­ence 2019: Ex­pe­ri­ences with Gen­der and Di­ver­sity in Con­tem­po­rary Music. The con­fer­ence will take place be­tween 14.11. – 16.11.2019 in Zurich. The goal is to bring to­gether thought lead­ers from across con­tem­po­rary music, in­clud­ing artists, schol­ars, ed­u­ca­tors, fes­ti­val lead­ers, and lead­ers of music venues, in order to ad­dress these sys­temic is­sues to­gether across the en­tire mu­si­cal ecosys­tem, and learn from each other’s prac­ti­cal ex­pe­ri­ences ini­ti­at­ing change.

NEO HÜLCKER
Neo Hülcker is a com­poser per­former whose work fo­cuses on music as an­thro­po­log­i­cal re­search in every­day life en­vi­ron­ments. Their com­po­si­tions evolve as sit­u­a­tions, per­for­mance-in­stal­la­tions, ac­tions and in­ter­ven­tions, and deal with dig­i­tal sub­cul­ture (like ASMR), child­hood, human-an­i­mal-re­la­tions, queer prac­tice and cul­tural hack­ing.

FÅGELLE
Swedish Fågelle makes music where lay­ers of noise and frag­ile con­struc­tions of con­crete sounds meet pop melodies, ex­plo­ration of rhythms and the sub­ject of power. With her elab­o­rate array of ped­als, syn­the­siz­ers and sam­plers, she dives into the sounds and tex­tures, ex­per­i­ment­ing and tin­ker­ing until she finds what will come to­gether with po­etry to cre­ate a com­pelling song. In col­lab­o­ra­tion with the pro­ducer Hen­ryk Lipp (Anna von Hauss­wolff, Blue for two) the ideas are grown into sound worlds, storm clouds. From the small­est text frag­ment to the rolling in of the biggest thun­der. With lyrics in Swedish about our times in micro and macro-per­spec­tive, how time is painful and al­ways slip­ping away and about power and pow­er­less­ness. Her music has been de­scribed as “a soft punch in the face”.
