Isabella Forciniti, JSB Trio, Caniche

Isabella Forciniti is a Vienna based sound artist from Italy. Her work maneuvers within tensions evoked by the substantial aspects of sound and improvised music. Her intention is to explore deliberate states of sounds through examining relationships among interwoven sound surroundings, informal practice as well as their intrinsic abilities. Her work thrives to release streams of thoughts at the margins of the unknown.

Jürgen Berlakovich uses a specially developed DNA sonification software for his compositions and live-sets. This DNA-sound-translator is able to transform DNA sequences into sound and music on the basis of a genetic system called Codon. The DNA sequences thus become almost fully-fledged musicians and independently „play“ various synthesizers and virtual electronic instruments. Berlakovich performs live together with drummer Stefan Voglsinger.
The resulting music spans – depending on the DNA sequences, for example from mammoths, peyote, dengue and malaria pathogens, various mosquito species or even the SARS-CoV-2 genome – a narrative framework of its own, oscillating musically between melancholic jazz sounds, ambient textures, rock and noise.

Born and raised in Dresden, Caniche evolved her specific preference for Rave Techno, which she would describe as fast and wild but also very groovy and even melancholic at times, while living in Berlin. First attempts of deejaying took place soon after moving to Vienna, where she still lives today and plays most of her gigs. In her sets you will find genres like Schranz, Groovecore, Hard Trance and Tribal Techno, as well as sound of the early 2000s. Although she mainly plays records from the past, keeping an eye on recent releases is very important to her. She is organized in the newly founded Push - Female DJ Network to support and connect other FLINTA* DJs within the scene.
