Nomadism is a spatial sound performance by PHØNIX16 that explores sound and its migration.
Nomadism is the way in which one crosses the plane of immanence and the many becomings; in fact, nomadism exceeds the ancient rhetoric of the subject because its disposition belongs to the multiple and to the environment in which it can unfold. Migration is the radical interpretation of a mobile society.
The program contrasts the radical work of Slovenian-French composer Vinko Globokar, Airs de voyages vers l'intérieur — in which Balkan rhythms break through the idioms of avantgarde musical language, culminating in a pseudo ritual dance by the singers — with the sensual and poetic Marian Antiphons by Ukrainian composer Maxim Kolomiiets, who lives in Leipzig.
Commissioned by the festival, Amol-Born World Citizen Samir TimajChi’s piece “/toʊ/” reflects a state of emptiness and loss. Finally, the program includes a collective composition, Transmission with Katalin, for singer and electronics, in reference to the legendary serbo-hungarian poet and performance artist Katalin Ladik, who expanded the boundaries of poetic expression through extended vocal techniques, concrete poetry and a recourse to archaic forms of folklore.

He studied composition and conducting with René Leibowitz, counterpoint with André Hodeir, and continued his studies with Luciano Berio. Globokar has premiered numerous works for trombone by composers including Luciano Berio, Mauricio Kagel, Karlheinz Stockhausen, René Leibowitz, Louis Andriessen, Toru Takemitsu, Jürg Wittenbach, and others. From 1973 to 1979, he led the department of instrumental and vocal research at IRCAM in Paris.

Globokar’s music features unconventional and extended techniques, emphasizes spontaneity and creativity, and often incorporates improvisation. His extensive body of work remains largely unknown outside experimental music circles.
