Hidden frequencies – from field recording to deconstruction and symbiotics

Hier ist nicht da in Gelsenkirchen is one of those special cultural venues that grow organically out of a community – intimate, inviting and open to new ideas. An ideal space for tonight’s three artists: Felicity Mangan, Cavid Dhen and Ra-Sunt V.

Australian Felicity Mangan will perform her exciting sound-based field recording project Poly’bio’rhythms for the first time at the BLAUES RAUSCHEN Festival. She combines a technique related to model synthesis (also known as wave function collapse) with bioacoustic recording methods, transforming the natural sound space into digital structures and creating a synthesis between organic and synthetic soundscapes. Cavid Dhen and Hannah Endrulat deal with the deconstruction of classical musical works and their transformation into a new context. By removing the pieces from their historical framework, these works are not only heard anew, but also changed in their structure and meaning – a kind of musical recontextualisation that interweaves past and future. Javier Galan’s project Ra-Sunt V combines synthetic sound experiments with radical experimental aesthetics to create a journey into psychedelic soundscapes and twilight visions. In SCYRER he explores his understanding of sound and visual art as a symbiotic relationship.

The evening at Hier ist nicht da promises us a unique mixture of innovation, nostalgia and surprise and takes us on a sonic journey of discovery.
