 These little groups, live sessions, or bedroom recordings form an expandable piece, inspired by nature, and will be at one stage combined into an open-ended whole (is a hole?). The resulting at hoc band could be called **Harmonia Ruina** or **The-Far-From-Equilibrium-Choir**?

+==== The BirdSong Sessions ====
+We were using field recordings of morning and evening concerts of birds, done over summer.
+By listening to these non-human birdmade compositions and joining in, our usual concepts of playing music alone/together got easily changed, inspired by the different rhythmical and timbral nature of birdsongs. Most of the participants played in a different way than they usually do.

+==== The next Marching Arts Fanfarý (at Next Festival Bratislava) with Ataxik-Gaits ====
+==== nextfanfary2021 ====
+For The Next Festival in Bratislava, which had to happen completely online due to the lockdown situation in SK, we assembled everything around the idea of a band. It looked like we were somewhere together, but actually we were playing at home or in the studio, and were only together as 3D avatars in the virtual Next Festival environment.
+As an exercise in embodied music, we revived the good old concept of the fanfare/marching band/fanfáry/harsonaszó (?): playing while walking, presumably outdoors. Any small handheld objects that produce sound could do: battery operated electronics, resonating objects, your voice,… We used some megaphones and small amplifiers, but all wearable, like the sensors in the soles of our comfortable shoes. The advice to the musicians was clear. Preferred walking speed: about 2.0 metres per second (7.2 km/h or 2m/s) modulated by time to destination, motivation, and metabolic efficiency. Let’s move! And the audience walked along, in 3D as well and on the screens.
