Portrait Stefan Voglsinger 'VV'
The duo VV dissects the sound of the violin. While Pynzenyk draws rich textures and tones from the instrument, Voglsinger uses live sampling to fragment the sounds into an independent musical voice that merges with the acoustic instrument as an electronic echo. Alyona Pynzenyk is a Ukrainian violinist based in Vienna, specialising in free improvisation, contemporary music and performance. She believes that collaboration and interaction between artists is a great source of inspiration, discovery, self-reflection, mutual growth and, moreover, fun. She actively performs as a soloist and collaborates with renowned national and international contemporary music ensembles such as Klangforum Wien, NeuRaum, Schallfeld.
Stefan Voglsinger (*1986) is a musician, composer, and performer based in Vienna. He studied drums from an early age, earned a Master’s degree in Music and Movement Pedagogy and later specialized in sound design and film music during studies in Cuba. He has toured internationally and is known as an interdisciplinary experimenter working at the intersection of sound and image. He regularly conducts workshops at universities, schools, and festivals on music, D.I.Y. electronics and listening—combining music, movement, and technology in playful, hands-on formats. He develops compositions, performances and audiovisual installations using self-built and modified electronic circuits and curates concerts and transdisciplinary events at his artspace Setzkasten Wien. He works at the austrian film museum, curates the sound art festival Klangmanifeste and performs with the vegetable orchestra. Stefan Voglsinger performs outdoors, integrating environmental sounds and field recordings into his music. He works with unstable systems, merging electro-acoustic textures with environmental unpredictability. His improvisations bring the studio into the field – using reamping, resonators, and found objects as percussive elements.
