The concert is not included in CTM and Connect festival passes, a separate ticket is needed to attend.

Eerste Communie resident Ignez & design studio Lamdini created a beautiful 4DSOUND experience in collaboration with Monom Studios called ‘Paradox’. Break out of reality and enter the black hole prior to Eerste Communie on Sunday, November 6th. Two sessions (14h & 15h).
Extended guitar hero Oren Ambarchi returns with a new long-form piece ''Shebang'' to be premiered in 4DSOUND at Monom Studios on Thursday 15, September 2022, mixed in 4DSOUND by Tilo von Ketelhodt, William Russell & Oren Ambarchi. 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.
Afterparty from 22:20
On July 9 we will have the pleasure of presenting for the first time in our studio Echo Collective, a diverse group of classically trained musicians based in Brussels, Belgium.

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

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.
