Listening Lab
LIEU : Casino Display, 1, rue de la Loge, Luxembourg
.As part of his artist’s residence at Casino Display and the University of Luxembourg, artist Sam Erpedling. organises a series of events combining music, technology, and artistic research. The series will span the entire period of his residence.
The first event brings together Sam Erpelding, Se-Lien Chuang & Andreas Weixler, a.k.a. Atelier Avant Austria, who will present their latest works in electroacoustic multichannel composition, improvisation, contemporary sound, and real-time computing. Together, the three of them will offer insights into contemporary ecoacoustics, computer-generated music, and cross-disciplinary collaborations in a mixture of lectures and performative experiences, creating a space in which acoustic and electronic sounds merge into an experimental and vibrant environment.
The evening concludes with galR and their supporting programme Debrief, a musical act designed to mark the end of the research weeks of the post-master programme 2025/2026 and to acoustically connect both Sam Erpelding’s residence and the post-master.
