Miha Ciglar - (text by Luka Zagorinik) Miha Ciglar, a sound engineer and sound artist, has in the recent years devoted his musical efforts to the sound research of feedback and to environment creation, into which he positions, besides the technology and objects, also his own body. Often producing sound objects out of everyday objects, Ciglar places into the electric circuit a round glass container, for example, filled with water or soapsuds, or a television screen, while modulating the constituting sound field of the feedback with the movement of his hands, with a washing sponge or the body, thus carefully tailoring a highly expressive sound landscape of noises, high and low frequencies, pulsations, and interferences. The material, the space, the medium and the interface, and especially movement are essential. Because Ciglar so frequently relies on the latter, his performances can also be seen to belong to the field of sound performance art, in which he over the years developed an exceptional sense for the whole, be it in his work in the field of performance art and multimedia environments or in the gap between art and science, in a field which can be defined as many-sided, ambiguous even, as an extraordinary reduction of sound to basic elements and the examination of the act of performance itself, role of the performer and contemporary technology. Ciglar has been for a number of years adopting a rather unique position in the field between music and sound, which can be delineated through the field of sound art, a field which Miha Ciglar significantly co-creates with his nongovernmental institute IRZU Institute for Sonic Art Research through an on-going organisation of theoretical reflections, workshops, discussions, lectures, round tables, and ultimately, with the festival Earzoom, which is with numerous collaborations with similar nongovernmental producers of similar contents becoming the central festival of sound art in Slovenia.
