Borut Savski at Ars Electronica

bowl2
 Borut Savski’s metaphoric objects Bowlfulls of Sound found its (back-) way to Ars Electronica festival – as a part of artworks and concepts presented at Kapelica gallery Ljubljana during the last 15 years. It was exhibited during 4th to 9th October at the Lentos Museum in Linz / Austria.
Bowlfuls of Sound is the name of two moving spherical objects – bowls – made in late 2005. They have simple motorics and a little bit more complex sensorics. The are susceptible to the sound they hear and they also produce the sound. This is why the bowls are full of sound. They can potentially sense each other (infrared sensor) and then they change direction. This should allow for the bowls to slowly zigzag closer to each other, but this is not an interest to us – as for the bowls itself this may be defined as a motive. May one bowl therefore be male and the other female. A simple autoreferential algorithmics produces / gives birth to a kind of autonomy – let’s call it life.

Trivia Records Zapisi
  • Lately i am acquiring some finger dexterity again. The victims are some relatively newly developed instruments (turboguitars, turboflutes and cirkulinos). Here is a selection of cutouts from various live situations - mostly as parts of Cirkulacija 2 program - from 2020 onwards.
  • Celjska interdisciplinarna impro zasedba s projektnim imenom Umoblodnica v sestavi: Iva Tratnik, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Estela Žutić, Simon Macuh, Dalibor Bori Zupančič, Borut Peternelj – Amper-o-mat. Posnetek nastopa 20. maja 2021 Cirkulaciji 2 | podhod Ajdovščina.
  • Generative algorithmic composition excerpts based on realtime video data for Francisco Tomsich "ELEGIJA | ELEGY" video installation presented from 10th to 21st July 2020 at Cirkulacija 2 Ljubljana Slovenia. Elegija (Elegy) is a mournful song performed by ensemble of video installations, sculptures and sound installation – made specifically for Cirkulacija 2’s premises. The installation setup was totally site-specific – for the new space of Cirkulacija 2 in Ajdovščina subway.
  • Field recordings in air and water during the Cirkulacija 2 visit in Finland. The place of rest and contemplation was at Future Lake near Helsinki and the performance place was on Merikerho club/ ship in Helsinki harbor. Boštjan Leskovšek was using the underwater recordings as his instrument. Here it is as separate album.
  • A recording of Cirkulacija 2 (Stefan Doepner, Boštjan Leskovšek, Borut Savski) performance at Merikerho club Helsinki Finland on 20th October 2018. Visit was part of two-way exchange between Ljubljana and Helsinki (Cirkulacija 2 and Koelse = Association of experimental electronics – Kokeellisen Elektroniikan Seura)
  • V gosteh v C2 je bil John Duncan, eden temeljnih sodobnih radikalnih umetnikov zadnjih štirideset let. Z Duncanom smo v veliki dvorani Cirkulacije 2 v treh dneh pripravili kvadrofonsko situacijo v kateri smo se zvrstili vsi sodelujoči. Domači sodelujoči: Iva Tratnik, Stefan Doepner, Boštjan Leskovšek in Borut Savski.
  • Double-bill/ triple action. On the occasion of Mike Hentz' Mental Landscapes lecture at Cirkulacija 2 - a concert occurred: Javier Areal Vélez – Argentinian composer and guitar improviser claiming to be open to any kind of participation visited C2. He was joined by the two local strummers: Leskovšek and Savski.
  • Moške sodobne različice vokaliziranja so izven gostilne ali cerkve (formatiranih oblik pevskih zborov) redke. Na pobudo Košnika, ob neposrednem nedavnem vzoru Tomažinke, je nastala ideja za uporabo glasu kot izhodišče in elektroakustične prijeme kot berglo za tri zvočne raziskave.
  • Ob otvoritvi sezone Cirkulacija 2 | leto 2017/ letnik X - prigodni kulturno-umetniški program – impro session, dva ali trije. Mali synthi velikega Boštjana in otožni zvoki mandolin – Savski + Cirkulino ter Kristl.
