SCHNITT is a collaboration between the experimental musician Amelie Duchow and the media artist Marco Monfardini evoked from the common interest in electronic music and visual art.
The
duo
works
at
the
intersection
between
music,
art
and
technology,
with
a
strong
focus
on
the
cohesiveness
linking
audio
and
video.
Custom-made,
innovative
software
and
electronic
devices
allow
SCHNITT
to
develop
complex
A/V
installations
and
site-specific
live
performances
adapted
to
various
exhibition
venues.
Their
use
of
abstract
media
elements,
combined
with
their respective perceptions toward technology, creates an equilibrium between their work’s form and concept.
In 2010 SCHNITT presents SYNCHROPATH an audio/video project focused on a synchronism as a method of composing, released on Sync | DVD and 12” LP.
With SYNCHROPATH, SCHNITT participates at several international festivals as the Elektra Festival, Open Source Festival and Robot Festival.
In the same year they launch the platform and label for audio visual artists Sync, with the focus to enlarge musical experience through concepts expressed in new forms of video and sound.
SCHNITT
presents
the
audio
video
live
performance
MEMORY
CODE
a
project
focusing
on
the
visual
memory
in
museums
and
various
festivals
for
digital
art
throughout
Europe
and
in
Asia, the album MEMORY CODE is released in 2019 on Sync.
