Michael Schrotter, Graz

That's me - those are probably big words. The fact is that I still don't know. In any case, I am describing my musical development so far.

I have always been fascinated by the creation of sound. As I didn't have the opportunity to learn music as a child, I learnt the guitar self-taught when I became more independent in my youth. Music lessons would have forced me too much into constructs.

Soon, in the 90s, electronic music, synthesiser sounds and the sampling of sounds from nature and the environment were added. A sound spectrum opened up for me that I immersed myself in back then and that I am still discovering with enthusiasm.

Valentyn Korotkevych (@valevych) is a Ukrainian-Canadian somatic therapy practitioner, spoken word and movement artist. His work integrates Polyvagal theory, Deep Tissue Massage, and poetry of being an active body-mind- connected system. As a masseuse & dancer, he has facilitated & provided his services across Europe and Asia.

His approach to CI (Contact Improvisation) lies in the root of introspection, contemplation & fundamental feeling of honesty, inclusivity & mutual care.

Valentyn studied, lived & pursued the cinematic art media in Canada for 7+ years, creating & receiving recognition for his subtle independent films while discovering his identity in the medium of combined art-movement-therapy-poetry in motion of life & modern pursuit for balanced being.

As a dancer, he was lucky to pursue the consistent dream of deciphering the form of movement & somatics of body-mind through retreats, classes, events & workshops across Finland, Austria, Moldova, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, Thailand, S Korea, Honk Kong, Macao, China (Guangzhou), Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore & Japan.
