interview:
Psychedelic Baby Magazine - Marie Vermont "Improvisational communication"
"My idea was to incorporate the 6 soundbikes into my setup by playing more delicate and high frequency sounds on them - I split these up individually. I thought of this metaphorically in a way, like birds in the sky moving around in a swarm while making noises. The specific architechtural possibilities of the spiral bridge and the soundbikes moving up and down, constantly shifting elevation in a way that is almost never possible in an indoor space, the movement, the open air and the dimensions gave the sounds a very special character. I like to work and interact with outdoor environments in many of my projects by playing and recording outside with a certain setup of microphones, but also by listening and transcribing simultaneous sound movements to later translate them into electronic and electroacoustic sounds in a studio."
The concept of the commons runs through both visual and acoustic fields of marie vermont's artistic work. It is about impressions of places that can be entered and enlivened simultaneously by several living beings without consumption. Fragmentary field recordings and drawn translations of movement sequences for further examinations, as well as finished works (scores, recordings, settings and installations) emerge from stays and recordings in these public, undesigned non-places. These artifacts from the outside world find their place alongside soundscapes created from various wired boxes combined with percussive elements, mics, tapes and other acoustic instruments in the broadest sense. Depending on the format, these simultaneities can be heard, seen, read and/or played - aspects such as wind and weather too. Duplication and reproduction thereof takes up a large space, mostly in the form of cassettes, with and without guest performers.

BILLA ENSEMBLE
Michiu (RO), the concept horse (US/AT),
turmeric acid (UK/PL), Marie Vermont (AT)
BILLA ENSEMBLE was formed on the rare occasion of Michiu, the concept horse, turmeric acid and Marie Vermont coming together in Vienna, in the Winter of 2023. Coming from different musical background, working with tape in various forms (reel to reel, cassette, minicassette) as an immediate medium for recording and an instrument to be performed with is a shared interest and approach to listening and music making that ties them together. This shared approach is then broadened into different forms of electroacoustic and analog instrumentation in live performance such as bells, contact mics, mallets, feedback, analog synths, and even odd handheld electronic kitchen devices. Each member is active with diverse solo projects as well as curating small labels for experimental music on tape: Czazska Records, Molt Fluid, Beach Buddies Records, eë editions
