Berlin based sound art label Corvo Records celebrates its tenth anniversary with the timeless 10 - Festival. Programmatic focuses are voice research, graphic notation and reinterpretation of the label catalogue.

The Viennese turntablist dieb13 (Dieter Kovacic) receives the commission from the festival to produce an electro-acoustic composition from the entire label catalog on vinyl and the label archive. The stylistic range and instrumentation of the catalog (prepared piano, sound poetry, field recordings, synthesizers, microtonal tuba, feedback, ringtones ...) creates a multi-layered work that deals in terms of content and form with the main medium on Corvo Records, the vinyl.

The duo concert by Elena Kakaliagou / Ingrid Schmoliner with the unusual line-up of horn and prepared piano, as well as vocals closes the festival. They reinterpret Greek and Austrian folk songs, moving them from the traditional to the contemporary context. Like migration mixes cultures, the two musicians question affiliation without denying tradition and home. They put spiritual similarities in place of constructed national identities.
