TUNED CITY - BETWEEN SOUND AND SPACE SPECULATION

Tuned City - Between Sound and Space Speculation is a comprehensive exhibition and
conference project planned for July 2008. The project searches for a new evaluation of
architectural spaces from the perspective of the acoustic through the facilitation of
dialog between the discourses of sound art, architecture and urban planning as well as
the commissioning and exhibition of several site-specific works in various locations
around the city of Berlin.

Tuned City presents artistic work and theoretical approaches derived from a critical
preoccupation with sound in the context of urban and architectonic situations and their
socio-political implications. Invited participants reflect in their work on the
aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions of sound art projects and demonstrate the
potential in using existing architectures in new ways or designing new spaces. Tuned City
extends current discourses on urban development and planning from the perspective of
artistic sound production.

On the weekend 26/27.1.2008 the project will present a 2-part preview of its work at
clubtransmediale.08. At the Ballhaus Naunynstrasse on Saturday 26.1. international
theorists from the fields of music and architecture will introduce various aspects of the
project and outline the main issues to be addressed at the conference. On the following
day, Sunday 27.1. sound performances preoccupied in unusual ways with the interrelation
of architecture, urban space and sound will be presented in Maria am Ostbahnhof under the
title Tuned Space.

(1) TUNED CITY - SYMPOSIUM

Date: 26.1.2008
Time: 12 - 19h
Venue: Ballhaus Naunynstrasse
Tickets: 5.- EUR

The lectures and presentations at this symposium introduce the different aspects of the
topic and outline the key points of the planned conference. Sociologist Detlev Ipsen will
open up the symposium with some basic thoughts on recent urban developments, followed by
the philosophical position of Gernot Boehme defining space through the aesthetics of
athmospheres. The architectural historian and theorist Ulrich Winko will give an
introduction of the history of music and architecture and will hand over the topic of
sound art to the writer and artist Brandon LaBelle. Coming from a critical sound and
space dicourse himself, LaBelle is going to question one of the pioneers and major
figures of sound art, Max Neuhaus. Between the single lectures artists participating in
the project in July 2008 will give short presentations of their work.

(2) TUNED SPACE - PERFORMANCES

Date: 27.1.2008
Time: 21h
Venue: Maria am Ostbahnhof
Tickets: 12.- EUR

For the Tuned Space program, artists from across the sound-art spectrum have been invited
to make their own sonic investigations, deconstructions and provocations within the
architectural space of the Maria club itself, taking the audience from the quiet minimal
world of found objects and sounds through to the body- and building-crushing power of
subsonic rumblings.

The UK’s Dallas Simpson will undertake a detailed and intimate binaural sonic
investigation of the urban wasteland around the club, putting the audience directly
inside the performer’s head via wireless microphones and headsets. Swedish
field-recordist BJNilsen has teamed up with Icelandic cello player Hildur Gudnadottir to
explore the minute architectural and structural resonances of the viola and cello
instruments and their so-called Wolftones, played out over a multichannel speaker setup.
Basque noise-aktionist Mattin declines to state the trajectory of his performance for the
evening, as this anti-laptop “Body & Linux” performer prefers the element of surprise to
any other. Daniel Menche, hailing from Portland Oregon, US, similarly involves his body
in the production of an overwhelming sound which seeks the limits of both physical
tolerance and structural restraint. And finally, Netherlands-based US expatriate Mark
Bain will demonstrate his “Vibrasonics” system, a set of subsonic devices designed to
inject sound waves into the foundations of a building, challenging our notions of
architectural stability and perhaps even bringing the walls crashing down upon us.
