Bioni Samp – “Electronic Journey To Avebury” – 20 minutes, 2013
A remediation of a rare Super 8 film, A Journey to Avebury (1971), by acclaimed English film director Derek Jarman.
Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, located around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, UK. Avebury contains the largest stone circle in Europe and is one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain. The ‘Journey To Avebury’ part of the title comes from a rare Super 8 film, A Journey to Avebury (1971), by the acclaimed English film director Derek Jarman (1942-1994), documenting a summer visit to the stone circles in the early 1970s. Electronic Journey To Avebury retreads this path forty years later, in winter. Through processed video and sonification of electromagnetic fields, it reveals a hidden message among the stones.
To make the video and audio for ‘Electronic Journey To Avebury’, I went to Avebury stone circles with my Binaural Beeframe EMF Detector (2012), Hive Tool Resonance Detector (2012) and video camera. I was hoping to hear something interesting. I was wondering if the stones were perhaps magnetic or had ley-lines between them which could be followed. Readings of electromagnetic radiation and transmitted resonance were recorded from and around the stones, forming part of the soundtrack. The soundtrack was then mixed with my Hive Synthesiser and other home-made instruments. My Hive Synthesiser attempts to create a symbiotic frequency relationship, like those between pollination and nectar exchanges, or between beekeeper and bees.
In each honey bee colony there are three types of bee: drone, worker and queen bees. Each of these have their own individual frequencies in the following ranges: low – 200 Hz or less, mid – 200-400 Hz, and high – 400+ Hz, just like the earth has its own special frequency of approximately 9 Hz. Bee frequencies are created by modular oscillators sensing light. Electronic bees are carefully guided over the Hive Synthesiser interface to electronic flowers. Numerology of bees and beehive habitat patterns, hive logs and cycles are used as circuit starting points. Known for its calming effect upon the beehive colony, The Electronic Beesmoker acts as a modified breath controller.
The aim of this project was to learn more about bee frequencies and to create a work that would raise awareness about bees and their increasingly fragile ecosystem.
ANASTASIA FREYGANG 4 PILGRIM AGE 2
FOR PILGRIM AGE SHOWCASE & PUBLICATION HIAS 2014 for VORSPIEL CTM BERLIN
having to mark a transition, to call upon a rite of passage
to set a point to grow further from there
leaving this behind and expose
some of its key moments,
of a time
mostly
in dispear
oblivious to this hurting
a will arose to battle this
to dance to this
and manifest a physical existence to these very times and feelings in metaphors
only a grasp of its full content can be sourced from my head alone
the moving image monuments describe the circumstance and condition
let to read breath and eye s focus, expression on the face and mannerism
in retrospective
in this for what I was I m glad I can re-access. share to re- access. say its ending.
cleansing for the paths ahead to be taken with a lightness close to innocence
one knows what is what and its time to give the times a last prayer a last call for showcase
the first to be fair
but the last
in relevance
with aknowledgments to all involved
to all once breathing besides me. knowing that eyes can meet unconditionally
in a french world and beyond
PILGRIM AGE for CTM 2014
PILGRIM AGE 25|26th january here
An assumed equation of the empowered self in the age of raised consciousness. Inspired by personal tendencies we address the trend of pursuing the call of one’s soul.
The evoked intention to share out a personal pilgrimage aims to provide a format of re-access.
Mezmerizing video art, poetry, soundworks, writing,installation and performances are exteriorising inner findings whilst sharing its path there.
10 insights into personal experiences and mental journeys are brought together in a quest of subjective and entagling transmission.
Anatums Abode is a project space in london limehouse and the headquarter of HIAS health in the arts initative,where we experiment with settings for togetherness. PILGRIM AGE was part of an OPEN LECTURE there in 2013, we consequently have been invited to apply our methods of transmission and translate the format to the o tannenbaum in berlin neukölln as part of the club transmediale festival.
with ten contributors from different background and disciplines the weekend of the 25 and 26th of january is going to be dedicated to the pursuit of following the call of the soul and its initiation transmitted for re-access.

Homage to Cornwall’s pilgrim path|Lee Fukke
it is argued that the shapeshifting psychodelic colouring of the images represent a mood synced reflection of the energetic sphere.

Personal pilgrimage to the quarry| Chatlotte Wendy Law
In spatial terms it is a safe semi circle for a soul to listen to the recordings Charlotte gathered along the way. Her return to the quarry is a private investigation touching upon sensitive areas of her own life in her home town Devon.

Simon ward
The Inverted Spiral
Simon discusses the transition which deconstructed his notion of the soul whilst reading poetry dealing directly with the theme.
In a truly objective sense purpose and meaning have no life. Though through our kind these concepts acquire dignity and inform our drama. In the same way that a mirage may give hope a to dying man before he eventually succumbs to thirst.
