555 bugs is a performative installation in which Maria Komarova creates a landscape out of found objects and diy electro-acoustic instruments. In it, elementary materials find new meanings in spontaneous connections between each other. They interact, move, resonate and produce tiny sounds: rustling, crunching, squeaking, cracking. Daily objects become something else, specific sonic creatures with their own qualities. The seeming primitivity and repetitiveness of the soundscape brings the listener into a world of menthol buzzers, one-eye sirens, lemon tadpoles, ginger tigers, plastic bugs and other insects.

In 555 bugs, Maria Komarova uses found objects and self build electro-acoustic instruments to create a landscape where elementary materials find new meanings in spontaneous connections between each other. They interact, move, resonate and produce tiny sounds: rustling, crunching, squeaking, cracking. Objects become something else, specific sonic creatures with their own qualities. The seeming primitivity and repetitiveness of the soundscape brings the listener into a world of menthol buzzers, one-eye sirens, lemon tadpoles, ginger tigers, plastic bugs and other insects.

Maria Komarova performs live with 555 bugs and creates a site-specific performative installation within the historic site of Teatro Romano in Lisbon, where objects resonate the space and the space resonates the objects.

This performance is co-funded by OVERTOON and the Creative Europe program of the European Union within the frame of Oscillations - Exercises in resilience.

A workshop with children where Maria talks and create a simple conductivity circuit. Each child learns to make a simple circuit from the prepared parts: electronics, batteries and tactile buttons.
For children from 5 years old / for approximately 12 people.

This workshop is co-funded by OVERTOON and the Creative Europe program of the European Union within the frame of Oscillations - Exercises in resilience.

Fiesp Cultural Center - Ruth Cardoso in São Paulo presents OVERTOON sound art works on video during Hypersonica 2022

Former Overtoon research resident artist Vica Pacheco creates a sonic environment during a sound performances at Jardins Efémeros.
Animacy or A breath manifest is a series of sound performances consisting in playing and amplifying the sound sculptures, looping and sampling them directly, using granular synthesis and digital sound effects to create an improvised composition, a sonic environment in formation. The importance of emphasising the idea of breathing came naturally when she experimented with it in her home studio. The instruments breathe; they breathe in while swinging to one side and they sing while exhaling while swinging to the other side.
