Outernational Listening Session „Sounding Changes“ Wendy M.K. Shaw, Timothy Morton
Curation and dramaturgy Elisa Erkelenz
The series begins with the Berlin Trickster Orchestra's new programme, "Disturbing The Universal / DIY", which joins together musicians of different traditions to create a new tonal language. During the concert, philosophers Timothy Morton and Wendy M.K. Shaw will reflect on the genesis of the new in an "Outernational Listening Session". A concert by Kamilya Jubran is to take place in December 2020. The singer joins a string quartet and a composer for a multimedia performance, and in March 2021 for a session of baroque, Persian classical, and electronic composition.
The concerts are preceded by comprehensive artistic research that not only tracks down scenes and contemporary musical developments, but takes into account questions of "musicking", i.e. performance practice and contextualisation as well. The aim of this exercise is to open up new spaces for outstanding artists positioned far from the mainstream. Curator Elisa Erkelenz develops the concerts in close dialogue with the artists, and around each performance, background information on music, instruments and participating artists is published in the VAN digital magazine Outernational: www.van-outernational.com
