9⁰ (10)

April 2024

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, 901 Editions launches a virtual residency program, inviting artists to share their creative process during the time span of a month. They have no pressure on any side and are really free to do whatever they want. We encourage them to focus on a specific theme/concept or methodology of their choice, as well as to follow their own spontaneity. We believe that uncertainty and hesitation are part of the creative process and have their own value. Life is a process, we learn by doing. The pieces will be uploaded irregularly on a dedicated Bandcamp page, only when artists are willing to do so. Just for the residency period, we offer the work as “free / name your price”. We called the residency program 9⁰, playing with the numbers 9, 0, and 1: any number to the power of 0 is always 1.

Peter Strickmann is a Berlin based sound artist and performer. Through the use of radically simple and sparse means, he aims to reveal and rewire the multiple listening habits that evolve from daily rou- tine and sudden surprise. While observing and animating the vibrant „thing“ and its social, acoustic and theatrical feedback he enables shared listening environments in exhibitions and performances. He studied Audiovisual Art with Christina Kubisch at HBK Saarbrücken, runs an ever growing Schnarcharchiv (snoring archive) and performs solo and collectively with his diy wind- and percussion-instruments. He appeared on festivals like audiograft (UK), Seanaps (D), Delta Wave (BE), blurred edges (D), The Listening Biennial (intl.), Musik- festival Bern (CH) and published his solo and group-sounds on labels like Ana Ott, Errant Bo- dies (upc.), Rayon, meudiademorte, Stenze Quo, econore, SPAM and Dazy&Holy.
