Specialising and Exhibiting

Week4-Sound Arts Lecture Series

Antye Greie also know as AGF was born and raised in East Germany. She is a vocalist, digital songwriter, producer, performer, e-poet, calligrapher, digital media artist. In the last decade Greie released 20 full length records and played over 300 live performances worldwide. 

The start of her solo work was marked by the artistic exploration of digital technology. On her first solo album HEAD SLASH BAUCH (Orthlorng Musork 2001), she converted fragments of HTML scripts and software handbooks into a form of electronic poetry and deconstructed pop. 

Her poetry, which she converts into electronic music, pop songs, calligraphy and digital media, has been presented as live performances and sound installations in museums, auditoria, streets, theatres, concert halls and clubs throughout Europe and in North America and Asia in festivals such as Ars Electronica Linz, Sonar Barcelona, Transmediale Berlin, GRM Festival Paris, Roskilde, Sync festival Athens, AudioVisiva Milan, Intern. Open Book Festival Moscow, Sonic Acts Amsterdam and staged solo performances in venues like Pompidue Paris, ICC Tokyo, Akademie der Kuenste Berlin, ICA London and many more 

Honestly speaking, I am not very interested in this sound artist though she make me awake. I watched her piece which related to the dance video is called “33TheyRooted Trailer”. I found the video is not really matching the sound. And the sonic white noise, in the end, was just a bit annoying. I don’t understand about the sound of AA Uh Uh, it was very awkward to me and I just did not have any relevant information about it.

Her sonic boat journey sounds better and kind of makes more sense to me, which is taking the sonic voices through the space in the boat. It let me think the canal dream project I was doing at the moment and kind of matching the way I wanna develop in the future.
