Ladies and gentlemen,
dear guests,
I am delighted to welcome you to the BLAUES RAUSCHEN festival on behalf of the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr – and especially to an evening that is taking place in Mülheim for the first time, making new worlds of sound and artistic border crossings audible and tangible.
With the Makroscope, this evening will take place at a venue that stands for an open, expanded understanding of art, experimental approaches and the interplay between art, technology and society. The invited artists create new sonic spaces with their performances, challenge familiar listening habits and combine classical elements with digital manipulations, electro-acoustic extensions and visual translations.
What emerges here is more than music – it is a synaesthetic experience, a process of change and redefinition of sound, rhythm and form.
I would like to thank the BLAUES RAUSCHEN festival team, Makroscope e.V. and all those involved for their commitment and courage in artistic exploration.
I wish you all an inspiring festival full of surprises, new perspectives and vibrant sound spaces.
Daniela Grobe
Head of Cultural Affairs of the City of Mülheim an der Ruhr
