15. augustā no plkst. 20:00 Baltic Analog Lab, ieskandinot savu 10 gadi, kā arī svinot festivāla Process starpgadi, aicina uz saviem ikgadējiem Pagalma svētkiem biedrības pagalmā Lienes ielā 19a ar filmu skatēm un audio vizuālām paplašinātā kino performancēm ar ārvalstu viesiem.

Šogad biedrība svin savu 10 gadu jubileju, kuru gada nogrieznī ieskandinām vairāku pasākumu ietvaros, ar tās gaidāmo noslēgumu šī gada novembrī. Svētkos rādīsim sen neredzētas un senāk tapušas BAL biedru filmas gan analogos formātos, gan to digitālās kopijās. Vakaru sāksim ar audiāli kinētisku performanci ar igauņu skaņu mākslinieki Erik Alaloga, savukārt ar paplašinātā kino performancēm uzstāsies nīderlandiešu māksliniece Estere Urlusa (Esther Urlus), izmantojot 4x 16mm kino projektorus un to optisko skaņu, kam sekos Somijā dzīvojošā Mareka Plučieņika (Marek Pluciennik ) modificēta 35mm kino projektora performance kopā ar itāļu mūziķi Frančesko Carella (Francesco Carella). 

Pasākumā par dzērieniem rūpēsies Nurmes pop-up bārs, kā arī darbosies  grils no pašu atnestiem gardumiem

Programmā:

20:00 Kinētiska skaņu performance ar Erik Alalooga (EE)

Eriks Alaloga ir performanču un skaņu mākslinieks, pedagogs un kultūras projektu vadītājs, kurš dzīvo Tallinā, Igaunijā un šogad ņēma dalību apvienotajā BAL un Skaņu meža rezidencē. Viņš galvenokārt ir pazīstams ar pašdarinātu (DIY) analogo tehnoloģiju risinājumu izpēti un izmantošanu savos mākslas darbos. Kopš 2005. gada viņa radošās prakses centrā ir tiešās attiecības starp cilvēku un mašīnu. Viņa mūziku var raksturot kā psihedēlisku trokšņu mūziku, pseidošamanismu un neoindustriālu skaņu ainavu, kurā tiek izmantoti savdabīgi mehāniski instrumenti.

“Līdz tumsa izgaist”
Esther Urlus (NL)
4x 16 mm projektoru performance, 30 min., 2024
"Tieši krēslā – starp skaidri saskatāmo lietu redzamību un to pilnīgu izzušanu tumsā –, kad redzamās pasaules konkrētība saplūst ar līdz galam neapjaustu un vienlaikus satraucošu vīziju, šķiet, ka prāts atraisās no matērijas, lai to ietvertu dvēseles noslēpumainajā nojausmā."
Tumšos toņos veidotā 16 mm filmas performancē – skanīgā poēmā par krēslu, neskaidrību un nojausmām – cenšos padarīt redzamu depresīva prāta tumsu. Tas ir darbs par manas meitas pusaudža gadu ciešanām. Iedvesmu tam devusi Stīhena slavenā un unikālā fotogrāfija "The Pond – Moonlight" (1904), kā arī Vistlera "Nocturne" gleznu cikls (1870. gadi).

Izmantojot ar roku darbināmas kameras, makrofotogrāfiju un eksperimentālas kino tehnikas, es pētu pļavu un meža zemsedzes smalkās, ikdienā nepamanītās pasaules – faktūru, ritma un gaismas pieredzi. Dzīvā improvizētā skaņa, ko radīs Francesco Carella, tiks pārraidīta no Itālijas.

On August 15 from 8:00 PM, Baltic Analog Lab invites everyone to its annual Yard Festival at the association's courtyard at Lienes Street 19a. The event marks one of the Baltic Analog Lab's 10th anniversary events, while also celebrating the in-between year of the Process Festival, with film screenings and expanded cinema audiovisual performances by international guest artists.
This year Baltic Analog Lab celebrates its 10th anniversary. Throughout the year, we are marking the occasion with a series of events leading up to the main anniversary celebration in November. During the Courtyard Festival, we will screen a selection of rarely shown, earlier works by Baltic Analog Lab members in both their original analogue formats and digital versions. The expanded cinema programme will feature Dutch artist Esther Urlus, performing with four 16mm film projectors and their optical soundtracks, followed by a performance by Finland-based artist Marek Pluciennik using a modified 35mm film projector, in collaboration with Italian musician Francesco Carella.
Drinks will be available from the Nurme pop-up bar, and a barbecue will be set up for visitors to grill brought snacks.

20:00 Kinetic sound performance by Erik Alalooga (EE)

His music can be described as psychedelic noise, pseudoshamanism, neo-industrial, using weird mechanical instruments.

Until the Darkness Goes 
Esther Urlus (NL)
16mm film performance, 30 min, 2024

“It is in the twilight, between the clear visibility of things and their total extinction in darkness, when the concreteness of appearance merges with a half-realized, half-disconcerted vision, that the mind seems to disengage itself from matter to envelop it in a mystery of soul-suggestion.”

In a ‘dark’ toned 16mm film performance, a sonorous poem of twilight, indistinctness and suggestiveness, I’m trying to make visible the darkness of a depressed mind. The suffering of adolescent, my daughter. Inspired on the famous and unique photograph ‘The Pond – Moonlight’ by Steichen (1904) and the Nocturne paintings by Whistler (1870’).


23:00

“Somatic Fields”
35mm film,color, live audio, 30m
Francesco Carella, improvised sound
Marek Pluciennik, hand cranked modified 35mm  projector

This project proposes a road film of miniature landscapes that are perpetually underfoot. By employing hand-cranked cameras, macro photography, and experimental techniques, I explore the intricate, unseen worlds of the meadow and forest floor—an experience of texture, rhythm, and light. Live sound improvised by Francesco Carella will be relayed from Italy.
