De Player: ultrahobbyism

Liquid Architecture is an Australian organisation for artists working with sound. LA investigates the sounds themselves, but also the ideas communicated about, and the meaning of, sound and listening.

Liquid Architecture

bitter absurdity, mundane sounds and poetry

Loop Project Space & Bar

Rotterdam publishing house De Player’s interest is in the reproduction of sound, the optic and acoustic qualities of vinyl as well as the untapped potential of its materiality. The work invariably reverberates somewhere between intellectual pursuits and nonsense, expresses a fondness for “ultrahobbyism”, and is characterized by subversive undertones.
In this performance reading, De Player general director and artist Peter Fengler seeks to turn bitter absurdity, mundane sounds and poetry into elaborate and precise soundcollages, through the use of vinylrecords, sculpture, installation, performance and multiples. Fengler deals with the implications of reproduction of sound and language throughout its history through a mix of theory, facts, fiction, poetry, soundbites, images and gestures.
De Player is a polymorphic production platform in Rotterdam producing interdisciplinary programs and publications of performance, experimental music and visual art. Issues of concern in include language, character, notation, sound, communication, community, shaping, transformation, use and abuse, and conducting. Animating concepts are anti-copyright, recycling, coding, post-punk, circuit bending, outsourcing, amateurism, file sharing, networking, pop culture, concrete poetry, nuclear processes, destruction, guerrilla, romance, electronic literature, etcetera to shape, form, texture and the senses.
