Hypernatural Sounds #5: destination unknown (21.10.2017 @ Harvestworks, NYC)

Wandering, crossing borders, getting lost, fiddling with the unknown – we invites artists perform and reflect about being in transit to an unknown destination. Artists: Thessia Machado and Ranjit Bhatnagar. Talk by: Daniel Bejar.

Hypernatural Sounds #4: Objet Autre (12.02.2017 @ SomoS Gallery, Berlin)

We are investigating le “objet petit a” — as in autre, the other. Our emphasis is on the dynamics that arise between the musician and objects that pertain the sounds. Artists: Mario de Vega, D’incise, Daichi Yoshikawa. Talks: Elizabeth McTernan and Emiddio Vasquez.

Hypernatural Sounds #3: exit strategies (22.08.2016 @ Liebig12, Berlin)

An exit strategy is often described as a "means of leaving one's current situation". Strangely, in this business world "exit" leans towards an escapism, something to be avoided. Instead, we will engage directly in the heart of this discussion with experimental music. Artists: Mikko Savela, Liz Allbee and Martyna Poznanska. Talks: Allegra Solitue, Lieke Ploeger, and dj shluchT.

Hypernatural Sounds #2: unheard (01.02.2016 @ SomoS Gallery, Berlin)

“Unheard” is a paradoxical event, dealing with the theme of making audible the intangible and imperceptible processes, from organic rivers to data flowing. This is what the hypernatural series discusses: transformations of natural into art, digital into natural. Artists: a.melodie and Marco Donnarumma. Talks: Interspecifics Collective.

Hypernatural Sounds #1: sampling/re-sampling/un-sampling (28.08.2015 @ Acud Macht Neu, Berlin)

Artists: Sumbu Dunia, Lukatoyboy and Samuel Hertz followed by an open discussion about their relation towards sampling as a creative technique. Looping, chopping, filtering, serializing, the quest for originality, the use of found material, and how the re-contextualization of sounds contributes to an immersive experience for the musicians and the audience.
