This week I will be a part of two events at the CTM Festival in Berlin. The first is a talk with myself & French artist Felicia Atkinson titled ‘Sounding the Non-Human‘. The talk will be led by Daniel Irrgang and will take place at Radialsystem at 15:00 on Thursday February 1,
On Saturday February 3 I will perform in Felicia Atkinson‘s new piece ‘Through The Thinking Iceberg‘. I will guest alongside Australian artist/guitarist Jules Reidy. This 90 minute concert will take place at 20:00 at Volksbühne and will be diffused through an elaborate multi-channel set-up care of d&b Soundscape.
ABOUT THE PIECE:
Inspired by diverse writings such as The Sea Around Us by the environmentalist Rachel Carson and Thinking Like An Iceberg by the philosopher Oliver Remaud, in which he paints a web of reciprocal connections between icebergs and human life, the electroacoustic composer Félicia Atkinson will premiere »Through the Thinking Iceberg,« an experimental oratorio for three characters, with the collaboration of the abstract guitarist Jules Reidy and sound artist crys cole. Here, the scenography is the development of the music itself, unfurling an open reflection about what it takes to care about an environment and each other, and what also links solitude to togetherness, a poetic argument between written elements and improvised words, movements and sounds, a meditation on vulnerability.
