Markus Mehr (Sound) and Stefanie Sixt (Visuals) Audiovisual Live Performer Markus Mehr and Stefanie Sixt founded their audiovisual band in 2009. They have been discovering how the interaction of music/sound and visuals takes the audience with them on an unusual journey. The associations of each recipient are singular according to his or her background. This experience is especially accentuated by the atypicality of the complimentary mix of organic and artificial music in conjunction with the strong and rhythmic visual work. see also:Markus Mehr

an empty church under construction was the extraordinary venue of the new audiovisual performance "transit" of markus mehr and stefanie sixt. the premiere took place at the moritz church, augsburg, 12.10.2011, 20h. markus mehrsŤ mantric soundconglomerates are emphazised by technical various devices. these including iphone, guitar and analog filters. In part, they directly influence the parameters of the primarily geometric black and white visuals of stefanie sixt. markus mehr and stefanie sixt have been developing their audiovisual performances since 2009. after "synchron" and "komo" ,"transit" is asking the question of a spiritual existence after the physical death. free entrance! come over, share and bring friends! "KOMO" KOMO is an aural Mantra. The introverted and self-contained a minimalistic string phrase circles upon itself. The use of a traditional canon compacts the already repetitive character of the piece. Digital sound irritations by IPhone App, Laptop and analog distortion are conciously builing up a contradictory Dialogue, based on the melancholy atmoshpere of the loop. The minimalistic progression of the sound elements are emphasized by visuals. Comparable to the music the originally formalistic structures are opened out beyond recognition by stylistic devices as blur or reduction, as well as the manner of composition and mixing and are set into a new context. The origin of the visuals are most of the times black and white nature shots, which remain in the end as a feeling. SYNCHRON Markus Mehr and Stefanie Sixt create a stand-alone piece by combining music and visual arts. On purpose sound-patches implement a latent visual quality, freed from structures and metrics, from greaceful noise to tasteful kitsch. The music is taken from the album "Lava" by Markus Mehr, published by Hidden Shoal Recordings, Australia in 2010. The visuals are based on animated, colourized and partially longterm exposed, monochrome nature photographs. The pictures are already abstracted while the photographs are shot. By interweaving the clips form compositions are created - reminding of moving paintings. This show was recorded at H2 - Museum for Contemporary Art, Augsburg, Germany.
