Opml is an electroacoustic duo based in Cologne, Germany. This project is composed of Maria Isolina Cozzani on violin and Matteo Traverso on modular synthesizer. Together, their work spans a wide range of artistic expressions, such as site-based and site-specific installations, audiovisual performances, and free or guided improvisation. Their artistic proposition has led them to perform in numerous European contexts, to name a few: Palazzo Ducale, Genoa; Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, Milan; MA/IN Matera Intermedia Festival, Matera; de Thomas, Amsterdam; the Grey Space, The Hague; The recurring musical elements are microtonality, also understood as simple combinations of frequencies that go beyond the tonal and tempered experience, and memory as a continuous overlay and re-proposal of elements and gestures that shun a logical and linear consequence to embrace a more fragmented and reassembled in scattered order, a typical form of the time that inhabits memory. The experience Opml aims to induce is that of immersing themselves, and with them the audience, in an exploratory experience of sound journey through unknown sonic territories. Improvisation for them is a vehicle for the unknown, the possibility of continuously challenging language to reach new dimensions and understandings of sound perception. Jan Wegmann Jan Wegmann (*1992 in Stuttgart) is a multimedia artist, composer and performer from Hamburg. Their work focuses on small details, giving them space to unfold and showing overlaps and tensions between different materials. They create drifting structures of layers, sometimes abstract, sometimes ironic, but always combined with the goal of a holistic and concentrated result. Jan’s compositions often have a performative component, exploring the expressive power and presence of a person on a stage or in a performance context. To realize their work Jan combines various influences and skills and uses a multitude of resources, self-programmed software tools, hardware synthesizers, controllers or sensors. They use found material, sounds, videos, texts, or 3D/VR visuals and work together with other artists to create immersive atmospheres that fill the space and challenge the perception of the audience. https://wegmann.digital/
