Friday 29.1. CTM 2016 Exhibition and Hacklab Opening
19:00 CTM (Kunstquartier Bethanien (KKB), Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin)

The MusicMakers Hacklab is a weeklong open, collaborative laboratory hosted by Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music and musician and noise artist Ewa Justka.The Hacklab engages in producing cross-cultural hybrids that imagine future topographies of sound and music performance through its "Future Rituals" theme, re-educating our electronic selves in the potentials of near and distant traditions, systems of musical representation and structure, and performance techniques. The theme for experimentation is a kind of ethnomusicology for machines. The Hacklab celebrates its 3rd edition within the CTM Festival at the CTM 2016 Seismographic Sounds Exhibition opening, with special performances by this year's invited host Ewa Justka & more guests TBA.

The desire to present installation-based sound art provided the conceptual framework for the project gallery »singuhr — hoergalerie« in Berlin since 1996. The focus was on works that were specifically conceived for and subsequently realized in the spaces used by the gallery. At first the work of »singuhr — hoergalerie in parochial« was concentrated on the spaces of the Baroque Parochialkirche (Parochial Church) in Berlin Mitte, where 55 exhibition projects were undertaken between 1996 and 2006, before the city’s two historic cisterns in Prenzlauer Berg became the central presentation venues, along with smaller project spaces, for a total of 33 »singuhr — hoergalerie« exhibitions from 2007 to 2013. Since 2014, the new »singuhr — projects«’s work has been focused on both the securing of new arrangements for the production and presentation of site-specific sound art — for instance through project-related artist residencies — and on the development of an increasing number of co-operative, discursive and theoretical formats.

Dahlia Borsche — “Locating Sound”
In this session the Department for Musicology at Humboldt University invites the SoCCoS Micro Residents to enter into a dialogue between scientific and artistic investigations of sound and music. Taking place at the department’s lounge the session will start with a dialogue between different musicological approaches in the form of two short introductory lectures: Prof. Jin-Hyun Kim (Systematic Musicology) will talk about “shaping sound in time”, followed by Dahlia Borsche (Transcultural Musicology) with a talk about “locating sound”. Emerging thoughts and questions will subsequently be discussed in an open round with the SoCCoS participants and interested students of the department.
