[event] are you listening? – ARKAODA, BERLIN
https://www.facebook.com/events/396548161046930/
For this debut in Arkaoda’s bar room, “Are You Listening?” welcomes three experimental performances by Joke Lanz, Bernd Schurer and Novo Line.
Laura Not, curator of the evening, will take care of the DJ decks in between and after the concerts. Sit back and let sound be your interlocutor.
JOKE LANZ
Turntablist Joke Lanz creates autonomous sound-cells that melt into a language free of any function. He combines ritual reductionism with anarchistic playfulness, atmospheric soundscapes with cut-up noise and physicalness with unpredictability. Massive scratches, walls of sound, grooves, loops, noises and voice modulations!
He collaborated with: Shelley Hirsch, Christian Marclay, Olaf Rupp, Ken Vandermark, Lasse Marhaug, Jorge Sanchez-Chiong, Strotter Inst, Christian Weber, Charlotte Hug, Audrey Chen, Ute Wassermann, Peter Kowald, DJ Olive, Sophie Agnel, dieb13, eRikM, Martin Tétreault, Eklekto Ensemble, Alexandre Babel, Christian Wolfarth, Jonas Kocher, Mat Pogo, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, just to name a few.
Best known for his international acclaimed Noise project ‘Sudden Infant’, Joke Lanz is presenting his work since more than 25 years all over the world. Born in Switzerland and currently operating out of Berlin, Joke Lanz is one of the most prolific and profound artists working in the border zones where performance and body art meet Improvisation and Noise.
BERND SCHURER
Swiss-born german electronic music composer and sound artist Bernd Schurer investigates human perception of sound through a multitude of auditory perspectives, computational- and phenomenological methods. Based on foundations of the number as a common denominator of mathematics, sound, space and time, he explores extended techniques of perceptional possibilities via the means of digitally created sound-pieces and applied psychoacoustics.
In his recent work “debris (redux)”, elements of live-coding combine with pre-synthesized sound materials to create a dramatic sound-study that deals with the synchronisation and self-organisation of periodic processes, massive granular re-synthesis and some recurrent neural network experiments on raw audio (the original piece is from 1996).
He extensively exhibited and presented electro-acoustic works internationally on various scales, from micro-galleries to the Venice Biennial.

NOVO LINE (JACK WOLFSKIN FM)
Jack Wolfskin FM is an Adventurer and Explorer, investigating the MIDI wilderness alone for months, uncovering the archaic MIDI preserved in Cambrian Limestone rock formations and 1980’s tech. His discoveries are often repurposed for danceable use by Novo Line, but on rare occasions he presents his findings at international noise conferences. sources missing.
