Katie Porter is a Brooklyn-based clarinetist, performer/composer, writer, and artist whose work draws from decades of experimental performance practices to create structures for music perception in space and time (over lifetimes or subtle daily increments/abstractions). She is currently a 2024 Artist-In-Residence at ISSUE Project Room.
Devoted to collaboration, Katie's current projects include: Phase to Phase a bass clarinet duo with Lucio Capece in Berlin, Malosma a bass clarinet and bass flute duo with Christine Tavolacci in LA, Eternities with noise artist Bob Bellerue in NYC, Red Desert Ensemble with percussionist/composer Devin Maxwell, Quartet or Two Duos with James Ilgenfritz, Lucie Vítková, and Teerapat Parnmonkol in NYC, and MUD with poet/filmmaker Anne Penders (Brussels). Katie is working to record a giant multi-year project for solo clarinet in Nancy Holt's land artwork, Sun Tunnels, in the remote Utah desert.
Werner Dafeldecker was born in 1964 in Vienna and studied double bass at the Vienna Conservatory between 1982 and 1985. He has been working as a freelance musician, composer and sound artist since 1986. In 1992 he founded the ensemble Polwechsel and the label Durian Records. In the course of extensive cross-disciplinary projects and performances in the following years, his main interest was the expansion of instrument-specific playing techniques as well as the linking and manipulation of acoustic instruments by means of computer technology and other electronic formats.
Graphic scores for soloists and ensembles were created. His works are often derived from or inspired by extra-musical influences such as architecture, science or film. In 2002 he received a DAAD scholarship and moved to Berlin in 2006. In recent years he has concentrated on site-specific projects, field recordings, working with natural ambient sounds and their synthetic variants. In this context, he developed an extensive sound archive and created electroacoustic pieces for radio, film and other media works. Around seventy sound carriers document his artistic development. He has presented his work in lectures and workshops at the University Bellas Artes- Madrid, Hochschule für Gestaltung-Karlsruhe, Wesleyan University- Connecticut, RMIT University- Melbourne and Edith Cowan University-Perth.
Lucio Capece is an Argentinian musician based in Berlin since 2004. Since 2010 he dedicates to offer works focused in the Perception experience, that he performs mainly in solo and in the context of occasional collaborations based in the same interest. He composes his own pieces that may include improvisation and different ways of writing. He uses tools like Flying Speakers hanging from Helium Balloons moved by propellers, Speakers as Pendulums, Analog synthesiser, Sine Waves and Noise Generators, Drum Machines, Ultra- Violet Lights, Sensors as much as the instruments that he has played for 25 years: Bass Clarinet and Soprano and Slide Saxophone. Beyond instrumentation and tools, the main intention is to focus in the physical-social-spatial human experience.
