Restaurant LA2023
Audiovisual installation and concert
A concert and laboratory, live in the LA Restaurant. The result is a meshwork, a system of feedback loops. Instruments are interconnected and result in a kind of ecosystem. Acoustic instruments are miked and their audio signal is processed live, alienated and further developed. This processed material in turn influences the playing style that produced the initial material.

LANDSKRON I ︎
Burgruine Landskron2022
Performance
Michael Anklin and Janiv Oron combine two diametrically different approaches to their music-making, their instruments are interconnected and form a kind of organism. Acoustic objects are miked and their audio signal is processed live, alienated and further developed. This processed material in turn influences the playing style that produced the source material. The result is a meshwork, a system of feedback loops. Electro-acoustic constructions shaping a palate of resonant sounds into abstract, narrative arrangements that evoke ritual atmospheres and purpose.

2021
Audiovisual installation
Sound and concept: Anklin | Oron
Light and scenography : Thomas Giger & Charlotte Martin
Stories: Michael Fehr
The groove course bursts into the room. A trip without stop on demand. The power and control - everything has been taken away. Delivered on the run, curiosity keeps the trip going: demolition, departure, the next planet pops up in this galaxy. Surrender like a forbidden temptation. As if hidden behind rocks, voyeurs delighted in sacred voodoo rites. The wicked utopia soon becomes gloomy dystopia. The optics turn inversely, a xylophone made of skulls with disembodied hammering on it. Ethereal raging or playful attempt? Crystal blocks in the sky in which gray weather prevails. We are spinning our own thing.

2021
Vinyl: Side A 10 Dioramas | Side B 5 Panoramas
The debut album by Michael Anklin and Janiv Oron combines two diametrically different approaches to music making on two sides of the same disc. Insights and views: The groove course bursts into the room. A trip without stop on demand. The power and control - everything has been taken away. Delivered on the run, curiosity keeps the trip going: demolition, departure, the next planet pops up in this galaxy. Surrender like a forbidden temptation. As if hidden behind rocks, voyeurs delighted in sacred voodoo rites. The wicked utopia soon becomes gloomy dystopia. 1920s, “Shores of Forgetfulness” by Eugen Bracht - no people, no humanity, just dark fantasy: a xylophone made of skulls with disembodied hammering on it. Ethereal raging or playful attempt? Eerie, abstract. Order is lost. Are you yourself in danger? Pale light shimmers. Should one follow it? Is redemption there, who lurks there? Shadowy face, clear intention: you want to communicate. The repetition is scary, haunting, engaging, full focus: me. Should I only feel this or understand it as well? Suddenly the clear realization: The problem on foreign planets is that when you meet other beings you don't really know how to interpret their behavior. Be open, engage, be naive, that way the discovery will never end - at least in an ugly way
