Dea Karina and "TABULA RASA vs. KODACHROME"
Willa Theatre, in collaboration with composer Kaspars Rolšteins and film director Jānis Putniņš, is returning with a new season of free-thinking music titled TABULA RASA vs. KODACHROME. The series will center around the interplay between musicians and 8mm film reels. Drawing inspiration from archival amateur film footage, which will be projected onto the screen using analog technology during the concert, some of Latvia’s finest experimental music and film artists will engage in spontaneous creative expression.
The first event of this season will take place on October 1 at 7:00 PM at Willa Theatre (Stabu Street 18C, Riga). Among the artists is Dea Karina, who is currently participating in the Skaņu mežs micro-residency as part of the sound art project tekhnē.
Dea Karina is a Berlin-based musician with roots in noise music. She completed her master’s research on DIY practices as a form of resistance to planned obsolescence. In her music production, she uses various methods and instruments, including “stealing” radio broadcasts, a cigar box guitar, DIY synthesizers, an analog synth, microphones and contact mics, effects pedals, loopers, and DAWs.
