* Fellowship of Musikfonds: Invert Sound Lab *
* Sound-Art: Album: Hör-Spiele (2022) *
We are very happy to have been selected for a fellowship of Musikfonds !
Invert Sound Lab: Natascha Nike (vocalist) & F.X.Randomiz (electronics).
They twist, move, dismantle and extract sound structures until their essence, basis, soul. This they unveil, turn the inside outwards, mix it with unknown particles, spice and contrast it so that new forms arise and new shapes emerge. The two musicians glide within an experimental field not on the horizontal surface, but they dive in the vertical of the inside.

New album // Invert Sound Lab: > Hör-Spiele < for two players
Composition by Michael Vetter
Natascha Nikeprelevic: voice, recorder
F.X.Randomiz: electronics
(Production: 2022)
Excerpt: Score Hör-Spiele by M. Vetter (1977, Universal Edition Wien)
Album production of the cybernetically notated 6-part composition „Hör-Spiele“ (Sound-Plays) by M. Vetter (1977, Universal Edition, Vienna).
The score contains 36 graphically notated communicative basic principles, each consisting of a general rule that is broken down into 8 variations each – in total 288 variations.
The hybrid notated score equally requires players to improvise, interpret and co-compose in real time. This triple role opens up a maximum scope while at the same time focusing on the core composition. The purely structural specifications enables us in our Duo < Invert Sound Lab > (voice, recorder and MPE based electronics) to think and play in completely new ways. The cycle was never performed or recorded as a whole, which is why we work on a Live-Performance version as well.

Sound-Art – Eine phonizistische Phonorgie > WDR Studio Akustische Kunst
Hörstück in 14 Szenen mit einem Intro und einem Nachwort. (54 Minuten).
F.X.Randomiz (Elektronik) und Natascha Nikeprelevic (Stimme) ignorieren die Grenzlinien zwischen Sprache und Musik.
Zentrales Thema der neuen Produktion von Natascha Nikeprelevic und F.X.Randomiz ist eine von ihrer Semantik befreite Sprache und der Raum hinter dem, was Sprache auch sein kann:
Eine Sprache, bei der es nicht um Verstehen geht, sondern um die Eigenschaften ihrer Bestandteile. Buchstaben als Anlass zu Form, Sprache als Spiel, Wörter als Klang.
Die Vokalistin Nikeprelevic abstrahiert in sukzessiven Abstufungen Sprache in Richtung Klang.
Die elektronischen Klänge greifen Dynamik und Facettenreichtum der menschlichen Stimme auf und treten in einen gleichberechtigten Dialog mit ihr, wobei Elemente von Spiegelung, Kontrastierung, Imitation und Erweiterung zum Einsatz kommen.
Bewusst wird dabei darauf verzichtet, die Stimme als physikalische Grundlage für digitale Bearbeitung zu benutzen. Das Sampling der Stimme ist tabu, der Umweg über Processing wird übersprungen – man geht den direkten Weg.
Wortähnliche Sprachgebilde imitieren elektronische Klänge und umgekehrt.
