BIO | Amelie Duchow The german audiovisual artist Amelie Duchow investigates the experimental relationship between sound, space, and visual perception. Her conceptual approach unfolds as an interplay of subtle, multilayered microsounds and intensive electronic structures transmuting into immersive visual articulations that challenge perceptual boundaries. She is a member ofFemale Pressure, thetransnational database and network of women working in the realms of electronic music and visual arts Female Pressure. Her debutalbumTONSTICH has been released on Sync, audiovisual platform and label she runs together with the media artist Marco Monfardini. Together they build the project SCHNITT working in the transitional area between electronic music, digital art and technology. Their audiovisual performances and installations have been shown worldwide in museums and festivals as LEV Festival (ES,) Mutek Montreal (CA), Elektra Festival (CA), e-phil (DE), ), Biennale Némo (FR), Act Festival (KR), Sonica Festival (UK).

How does a language sound beyond the meaning of its words ?How much does the sound of a language influence us?How does the sound of a language resonate with us? The project LOGOS MATER by Amelie Duchow stems from a deep reflection on these questions. The audio composition of LOGOS MATER draws inspiration from diverse phonetic and acoustic elements linked to the intrinsic nature of the world's languages. Amelie Duchow invites people from all over the world to participate in this project by providing a webpage where anyone is able to capture their own voice, leaving it to the artist's sound analysis and the resulting creative process of manipulation and alteration. https://www.extrasync.net/logosmater/index.html Every sound used in the audio composition derives from the vocal contributions which will confer identity and uniqueness to the development of the live performance. The composition of LOGOS MATER emerges in a global language that does not express itself with words, but with sound, seeking to “speak” and connect us, at least for a moment, by transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. The webpage remains active throughout the projects presentations and every live performance of LOGOS MATER will incorporate the latest voice contributions. The composition of LOGOS MATER is among the winners of the open call initiated by raster - media for soundtrack Europe 2025. https://europe2025.raster-media.net/inthefield/The performance invites the audience to reflect on the significance of languages in shaping our individual and collective identities and on the fact that humanity today is facing a massive extinction: languages are disappearing at an unprecedented pace as over 40% of the world’s approximate 7,000 languages are at risk of disappearing.The webpage remains active throughout the projects presentations and every live of LOGOS MATER will incorporate the latest voice contributions.
For the live performance a specially developed device in form of an language trigger-world globe permits the artist to control and manipulate the world languages in real time.The voice contributions from all over the world and the ones left a few days before the performance get assigned on this special globe to their respective countries, allowing to create live a deep and eclectic layering of voices that bridges cultures and geography through sound.
