Gangan Ensemble je odprta igra gibljive slike in zvoka, ki raziskuje situacijski potencial žive improvizacije, saj se osredotoča na neposredno izkušnjo, riskiranje in medosebno interakcijo med performerji, občinstvom in prostorom. Je poskus združitve različnih oblik improvizacijskih tehnik interakcije med video performerji in glasbeniki ter interaktivnega jezika v celovit modularni sistem.
Gre za kompozicijo z velikimi razponi praznega prostora v katero se interaktivno vključujejo zvočni in vizualni umetniki. Princip interakcije sloni na grafičnem zapisu, ki jo beleži in hkrati vodi igralce z naborom vizualnih ključev in pripadajočih pravil s katerimi se performerji igrajo znotraj časovnih omejitev, ki jih določa sistem ali ansambel sam.

Vstopnine ni!

The Gangan Series is an open-ended system that combines the interplay of sound and moving image (video, etc), and emphasizes the situational potential of live improvisatory performance of video and sound artists, by putting the focus on direct experience, risk-taking and intra-personal interaction within the space and audience in a collective sense. Every Gangan Ensemble performance is unique on its own since each performance is built upon a variety of reconstructed / reconstituted ideas and structures collected from a collaborative effort of the group and the performance in the past. For this performance, we exhausted all the possible combinations of a quartet and came up with 15 sections whose duration are randomly chosen by a computer.

This Thursday, the Gangan Ensemble Ljubljana will be the first performance of this series in Europe.

Biography:
The Gangan Ensemble is loosely composed of improvisers who work on both sound and moving image and was created to explore the intricately different kinds of interaction and ways of harnessing sound/energy/musicianship alongside moving images. The evolving participation involves a variety of video-performance artists to electro-acoustic musicians hailing from the Philippines, Singapore, USA, Germany, Australia, UK, Malaysia, and Indonesia since its incarnation in 2007. The ensemble has performed in various countries in South East Asia, notably in NCCA's Sinemusikalye in Manila, in Choppa 2008 in Singapore, in the Cellsbutton Media Art Festival in Indonesia, and recently with electro-acoustic composer Chris Brown in Manila. Gangan Ensemble Ljubljana will be the first performance in Europe. It was founded by intermedia artist Tengal with video artist Tad Ermitano.

Tengal is a Manila-based interdisciplinary media artist, composer-musician, curator-producer, and filmmaker. His work puts the focus on direct experience, risk-taking and personal interaction between artists and audience, and emphasizes the situational potential of live performance, the interplay of various media – sound and image, in particular – and candid exchange between sub-cultural and academic initiatives.
In 2005, he founded SABAW Media Art Kitchen – a not-for-profit, artist-run umbrella organization and network platform for all kinds of information and communication carried via modern electronic media art focused specially in the region of South East Asia. Since then, SABAW has been producing concerts, workshops, inter-artist dialogues and forums, music albums, festivals for new media art, and experimental music and live cinema performances -- most notably "Sinemusikalye", a 50-feet audio-video installation-street-concert for the National Arts Month of The National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA) in the Philippines; "Transmissions Gangan", an audio-video performance for 5 radio channels on an interactive space with California electro-acoustic composer Chris Brown; "Fete dela Wasaque -- festival for outerfringe art", and most recently "ASEUM.09: Asia-Europe New Media Art Symposium" and "EAR2EYE: festival for cutting-edge music and moving image."
