    For “X-Erinnerungen”, local and international artists including myself went for a search of traces. In my case the abandoned factory of Glanzstoff, where my father worked and my Soundinstallation about the working conditions of those workers took place.

About_

Attachment_1645527466-chin.jpg

SEBA KAYAN is a viennese DJ and artist. Her work oscillates between DJing, performances, exhibitions and curating. Her music has a forensic, political and metaphorical approach. By digging into various music archives she collects lost pieces. Her polyrhythmic sets integrate a wide array of musical genres, including Orientalfuturistic electro, techno and Acid. In between, she burns the unmistakable sound of the so called “Oriental" Music into ironclad techno frameworks.

 

A binary vision of an occidental vs. oriental world is not aimed to be created, but both cultures are tried to be embodied and become interwoven.

By seeking the past in archives, an imagination of tomorrow is getting shaped into a hybrid music. Acquiring ascriptions and deconstructing them in the musical process, as a collective improvisation process is an ongoing process for her. This method of relating to the ancestors, to a collective memory, tells also an a-linear historical narrative.

Recent and forthcoming performances include Donaufestival, Sonic Territories, Wiener Festwochen, Impulstanz, Wellenklänge Lunz am See, Popfest, Unsafe and Sound, Lungomare and many more.
