The german audiovisual artist Amelie Duchow explores in her works the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form. The translation of her creative concepts are driven by the process of sonic and visual experimentation. Her compositions are characterized by the use of subtle multilayered sounds, accentuated by intensive electronic structures and rythms. Her live performances unfold a very personal vision of Amelie’s investigation on the relationship between electronic sound and visual perception. Her works have been presented internationally at new media festivals throughout Europe. Her debut album TONSTICH has been released in 2014 on Sync. In 2018 Resident Advisor featured her in the documentary “ See what I hear ” by Lucy Werrett. The Design Museum London features the live video of her audio/video project TONSTICH in the group exhibition ELECTRONIC From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers in 2020/21. Currently Amelie is working on her new audio/video project LOGOS MATER which takes its inspiration by her interest in the sonorous character of languages. Motivated by the common interest in electronic music and visual art she starts collaborating with the media artist Marco Monfardini. The duo works under the moniker SCHNITT since 2007 in the transitional area between music, art and technology focusing with their projects on the coherence between audio and video. Custom-made, innovative software and electronic devices allow SCHNITT to develop complex A/V installations and site-specific live performances. In 2010 they found the platform and label for audiovisual artist Sync on which they release their albums SYNCHROPATH and MEMORY CODE. Their projects have been shown in international museums and festivals as Elektra Festival (CA), LEV Festival (ES), Mutek Montreal (CA), e-phil (DE), Act Festival (KR), Sonica Festival (UK). The duo SCHNITT cofounds in 2018 with the creative coder Gianluca Sibaldi EXTRAsync, interdisciplinary platform developing innovative multimedia projects and electronic devices. SCHNITT presents at the LEV Festival 2019 in collaboration with Gianluca Sibaldi the site specific audio/video performance SCANAUDIENCE. The project is based on the realtime scanning of the audience. In WHITE BALANCE, their current a/v performance, the duo creates a relationship between space, image, light and sound by reversing the use and role of audio and video using four photosensitive devices as sound generators. In 2023 SCHNITT and Gianluca Sibaldi present the large scale audio/video installation SCANSCAPE during the exhibition Future Legends at ACT Festival 2023 in Gwangju South Corea. This site-specific project was commissioned to the artist trio by the ACC Asia Culture Center, Gwangju, South Korea.
