Shebang features an international all-star cast of musical luminaries, their contributions recorded individually in locations from Sweden to Japan yet threaded together so convincingly (by Ambarchi in collaboration with Konrad Sprenger) that it’s hard to believe they weren’t breathing the same studio air.
Afterparty from 22:20
On August 12, 2022, we will present the latest edition of our summer program, Summer of Music: IV, with the stellar participation of Argenis Brito who will delight us with specialized versions of legendary chilean singer-songwriter and socialist political activist Victor Jara, both as live and as a sound installation. Latin, hot-blooded and with decidedly tropical tendencies, Argenis promises an experience full of emotions, Latin American nostalgia mixed with a powerful contemporary sound that will envelop the attendees in a magnetic embodied listening experience. Think Mambotur, Señor Coconut, Los Refrescos and many other rum-fueled collaborations held within the confines of slick studios. These are our main character's playgrounds.

HUBRIS
Premiere in 4DSOUND at MONOM Berlin
Film screening, performance, and original spatial sound composition
Opening Days September 18,19 & 20
MONOM is pleased to present HUBRIS premiere in 4DSOUND on 18, 19 & 20 of September. Hubris is a feature film written, directed and produced by Marie Polo. At the crossing between art, performance, music and cinema HUBRIS will be screened in MONOM Studio spatialized by Shehryar Ahmad accompanying the acousmatic music performance by Marie Polo & Paul Behnam featuring actors of the movie. Visitors will embark on a deep inner sensorial journey and a collective catharsis through visual, sound, smell, touch & taste. It is a cinematic introspection with a strong ritualistic dimension.
Shot during 4 years between Berlin and the Fontainebleau Forest near Paris, the film is about the healing process of a young woman - Alice - who experienced a traumatic experience she does not have any visual memory of. The film is structured as a sophrology session during which the audience enters different layers of body memory of Alice, going back and forth between the present and the nightmarish visions of her past trauma.
The sound design and original score of the film is written and performed by Paul Behnam. Throughout the 22 tracks of the album, he navigates effortlessly between ambient, modern classical, rock, funk, house and techno, unveiling his versatility and his talent for translating emotions into music. Even without the images, the story of Alice unfolds inside your ears throughout an hour of eerie, exhilarating and relaxing pieces of music.
The soundtrack also features a collaboration with electronic music mad dog San Proper (Perlon, Rush Hour), playing his own role in the film and singing on « Dr. Proper ». Italian pianist and lyricist Andrea Monticciolo delivers a moving performance on « Oma Ooh Salem », while Louis McGuire and pandeiro player Adriano Tikogo invites us to a gloomy dance on Pandeiro Show.
After HUBRIS, MONOM is pleased to present ''The Rainbow Machine", an immersive installation with both sound & moving images. It was born from the electro-acousmatic piece composed by Paul Behnam, with a similar name, translated in French : “La Machine Arc-en-ciel”. It is the result of a collaboration between Paul Behnam and the painter Alexandre Tanqueray who then created a series of graphic works based on the sound composition. This series was later on adapted and fused within another audio-visual form, closer to an animation film thanks to the work of Jan Luis Gottwald.
The Rainbow Machine is a journey towards the colourful skies, onboard an imaginary flying vehicle. The rainbow colours symbolise emotions and traits of humankind. The different archetypes one can face within a life. The Machine embodies the desire for power, society and the madness it can generate.
Current hygiene regulations are in effect for the duration of the screening.
Filming, recording and photography are not allowed in MONOM Studio
For more information about HUBRIS follow them on social media @hubris_official. For more information about MONOM visit www.monomsound.com For further information regarding the event or interview requests please contact communication@monomsound.com
About Paul Behnam:
Self-taught guitarist, Paul draws his inspiration from Psychedelic Rock, Jazz and the ‘Musique Concrète’ of the 20th century. After many years performing in rock bands, he moved to Berlin where he explored the many ways of playing instruments together with analog machines live, attracted by the endless possibilities offered by electronic music. This is where he started to work on sound design for films, animated movies and delve into acousmatic music, inspired by artists such as Pierre Schaeffer or Brian Eno. Paul is currently working on his first solo LP which will be released in 2021, a concept-album blending French Chanson together with Electronic Music.
On September 12th, we have a very exciting Sound Sculpture Gallery event coming up. MONOM will be revisiting a past collaboration with the label Tessaract, within MONOM's new format.
Through its Sound Sculpture Gallery MONOM offers listeners time and space to be in communal silence, free from distractions, enveloped within its 57 omnidirectional speakers 4DSOUND system. A rare space for deep introspection and reflection, a place for challenging and altering perceptions, internal and external.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
RESO KIIKNADZE was born and raised in the notorious 1960s of Tbilisi, Georgia. After finishing his classical philology studies at the Tbilisi State University, the phase of television appearances with a big band and several festival shows amongst the Tbilisi Conservatory Quintet quickly followed. Making his first and most important compositional development under Micheil Shugliashvili (1941-1996).
Furthermore he studied at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, composition and Georgian traditional music, and was a founding member of the improvisation ensemble "Nuova Sonanza", collaborated with Butoh dance company 'Tatoeba - Theatre Dance Grotesque" and been awarded composition prizes such as 'Marie-Louise-Imbusch-Stiftung' in 1993, and 'Neue Akademie Braunschweig' 1997, continued with MA studies at Musikhochschule Lübeck and started 2000 a collaboration with the contemporary dance company ‘TanzOrt Nord’ („Maria Magdalena“, „Cumulus“ and „DisTanz“).
From 2008 on he became an assistant professor at the Ilia State University in Tbilisi, whilst still teaching Electronics at the Musikhochschule Lübeck as well as saxophone and improvisation at the Lübecker Musikschule. Returning most of his activities back to Georgia from 2011 on, and becoming Rector of the Tbilisi State Conservatoire for last 8 years, Kiknadze’s current life continues in various formations of jazz, contemporary music, free improvisation, both as saxophone-player and computer musician; he is co-author in many projects including dance, visual arts, poetry, theater, with at least the same intensity as before. Having him perform with Mess_Montage on the unique 4DSOUND of MONOM should merge any audiophile's dreams with nowadays technical reality.
MESS MONTAGE is an experimental electronic music project by the Berlin based Georgian composer, performer and educator Tornike Margvelashvili. He merges folk chant inspired drone-y soundscapes with atmospheric field recordings and minimalist modular synthesis. After teaching electronic music at several institutions in Tbilisi, he was an official participant of the Red Bull Music Academy 20th anniversary camp in Berlin. In 2019 he decided to make his Berlin move, where he currently studies Sound Arts at UDK.

MONOM, Chris Salter, Alexandre Saunier, and Takashi Ikegami together with MUTEK 2020 - Hybrid (Montreal) are pleased to present: SNN #3: Forms of the Living, world premiere on September 11th, 2020. This performance will take place live for one night only simultaneously in four distant locations: live in Montréal, Berlin, and Tokyo and online on Mozilla Hubs.
Using light, video, sound, VR, and artificial life algorithms and neural networks, Salter, Saunier, and Ikegami together with a group of international collaborators orchestrate a global experience that while internationally shared, is impossible to grasp in its entirety. Source material produced during the COVID pandemic is employed to physically and algorithmically generate a schizophrenic combination lying somewhere between a wild and disjointed Jean-Luc Godard-like collage of news feeds, epidemiological data and statistical models and a slow, meditative and almost hypnotic feeling of a new science-fiction-like world one marked by the entangling of human experience with viral proliferation and machine tracing and forecasting.
In Montreal, Alex Saunier uses video, special analog lenses, and optical modulators to manipulate images taken from hundreds of hours of news media responding to the pandemic condition, visualizations, and simulations of the pandemic outbreak, and video archives of human, machine, and wildlife activity around the world. In Berlin, Chris Salter in collaboration with MONOM’s sound artist Ro Stambuk uses MONOM’s world-renowned 4DSOUND system to create a massive 57 channel spatial sound environment that plunges a live audience (restricted to 50 people) into experiencing the shifting acoustic conditions of the world since March 2020 – where the stoppage of the world economy resulted in a 50% reduction of human-made sound. In Tokyo, physicist and artificial life expert Takashi Ikegami manipulates the audio stream from Berlin, turning the pounding sounds of world cities into the sound of natural landscapes that have re-emerged since the pandemic and sending the stream back to Montreal. Finally, the online audience can experience yet another version of the performance in online VR in three specially designed Mozilla Hubs rooms that transform the media content created in Montreal, Berlin and Tokyo – where, contrary to the belief that the Internet is a new free space for social gathering, social distancing will also need to be practiced since only 25 visitors will be allowed in at any one time.
EVENT SCHEDULE AND DETAILS
MONOM Lounge with sounds curated by Chris Salter: 21:00 - 3:00
Late-night performance SNN #3: Forms of the Living : 00:00 - 1 :00
Ticket price: 20 EUR
Limited capacity of 50 people
MORE ABOUT FORMS OF LIVING
FOTL explores the challenge of sharing our individual experiences with the experiences of strangers around the world while also having to rethink our ways of sharing a world with non-living others - viruses and machines. This combined sense of wonder and utter confusion and uncertainty that seems to intensify daily in the face of current worldwide events is re-materialized in FOTL. The performance thus transforms media content in real-time, back and forth across time zones and continents in a shared experience that is nonetheless impossible to fully grasp by every audience.
SENSUS - a Berlin-based artist platform - will officially launch from 5 to 6 September at MONOM

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Carla Chan
Born in 1989 in Hong Kong, lives and works between Berlin and Hong Kong. She works with a variety of media including video, installation, photography and interactive media. Much like the never-ending development of new technology Chan considers media art as a medium with infinite possibilities for artistic expressions. Carla Chan’s is an award winning artist whose work is minimal in style and form. Chan’s works often toys with the blurred boundaries between reality and illusion, figure and abstraction. Her recent work focuses on the ambiguity in nature. Bridging natural transformation and unpredictable computer algorithms, her work is consolidated with a cohesive dynamic between form, means and content, exploring AR and digital media.

George Jasper Stols
is a CGI filmmaker and photographer based in London who produces films, live visuals and artworks. His work can be characterised by constructing vignettes and scenes, that blend digital experiences with physical entities using intuitive, digital processes.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgejasperstone/?hl=en
Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s
Born 1987 in Bonn, Germany, lives & works in Berlin. Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s works play with the intersection of materialities and imagery, while deliberately staging painting and photography in the sculptural field. A desire for drawing reveals itself in moments of struggle, employing its unpredictability in her process. The moment when drawing becomes a model and morphs into physicality, allows for the beauty in potential surface failures of the objects that result.
Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s art making constantly transforms what is at play and fuses both peculiar yet familiar items and situations: an empty champagne flute begging to be filled, yet at one and residing in the clear plastic painting that is being admired, or sexy digital imagery collaging the oversized tropical forest leaf littering the ground.
Website: http://www.hannahsophiedunkelberg.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahsophiedunkelberg/
Isabella Fürnkäs
Born 1988 in Tokyo, Japan, lives & works between Berlin and Düsseldorf
Isabella Fürnkäs is an artist who works in a variety of media. Her body of work involves equal shares of video, multi-media installation, performance and drawing. By manipulating the viewer, Fürnkäs creates contextual shifts revealing an inherent awkwardness that echoes our own vulnerabilities. The artist combines digital with archaic forms, tying bonds between different materials and contexts, causing friction. She puts the viewer on multiple tracks and wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator. This creates compositions or settings that generate disruptive yet poetic images, leaving traces on the edge of recognition and alienation.

Yolandé Gouws
Born 1985 South Africa, lives & works in Berlin
Yolandé Gouws creates poetic spatial constructs using elements of weaving and architecture, reminding us of our origins in craft and the interconnectedness of all things. Her artistic practice is inspired by the spatiality of architecture and the complexity and potential of weaving. Gouws has a keen interest in colour theory and a love for materials and their properties.A qualified architect, Yolandé Gouws’ formative years were spent working closely with the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson with whom she developed numerous exhibitions and works.
Website: https://yolandegouws.com/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yolalande/
Hannah Hallermann
Born 1982 in Nuremberg, Germany, lives & works in Berlin
In her multidisciplinary work, Hannah Hallermann combines clear, essential forms with complex social issues. In her sculptures, which partly evoke abstract architectural elements or sports equipment, she explores the relationship between bodies and objects, the contemporary narratives of constant optimization and the need for leaps of faith, new beginnings and breakups. The strong spatial presence of the work is closely linked to a metaphorical level.
Hannah Hallermann's objects and installations are never unambiguous and address individual growth, as well as collective transformation. Her work provides paradox with form and refuses to accept stagnation.

Her current other projects are JH1.FS3 and Body Sculptures. The performances and releases portrays her work methods to be many and diverse from textured sound collages and noise, to straight forward industrial music. She has performed throughout Europe, Japan, Russia, Canada and America.
ZOYA ZERKALSKI is a fictional character, who explores the world of electroacoustic improvisation and live performance. Initially inspired by the resonant frequencies of accordion and experimentation with the instrument, lead her to denote her musical expression via means of drone. Through significance of disharmony and sonic dissonance, Zoya is shifting frequencies between intricacy and intensity.
Non-conventional forms of vocal manipulations are strong elements in her compositions, self-performed or often in collaboration with other vocal artists.
