The two Japanese words mono and koto can be translated as thing. Mono refers to a physical object, while koto denotes an abstract concept.

At the center of the exhibition is the multimedia work Sway (2019 - ongoing), the product of artistic field research Haku Sungho conducted along German Baltic Sea shores. For the project, he collected HDPE (high density poly ethurene) from various beaches and processed it into blank record disks onto which recordings of the sound of the sea on the same beaches were imprinted. The resulting noise is played back over video recordings of the Baltic Sea. Display cases containing pieces of marine plastic, video documentation of the processing, and plate prototypes highlight the tension between these physical objects and the elusive historical and momentous fact of marine pollution. Sway encourages viewers to find a conceptual connection: Remembering as grasping, grasping as presence.

About the artist:

Haku Sungho (from Tokyo) lives and works as a musician and installation artist in Berlin. In his artistic practice he combines sound with physical works, for example in sound carriers or self-made instruments.

“Memories of the Future" brings together artistic positions that address the emergence of memory, contemporary and future forms of memory, and the relevance of memory for imagined futures. The project is funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe; the exhibition is kindly supported by the Geomar Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research.

A Garden of Forking Paths – Finale 3

Sunday, 27 March 2022
15:00—19:00 at Cashmere Radio

Tickets: €20 / reduced € 15

“A Garden of Forking Paths” opens a window of time into a relational field of sound sources – concerts, listening stations, sound installations – that connects pasts and presents from multiple places around the world. The art of field recording lies at the heart of the final weekend of MaerzMusik – Festival for Time Issues 2022. Under the continued impact of the pandemic, “A Garden of Forking Paths – Finale” takes the place of the festival’s closing event “The Long Now” and migrates into the urban space around Nettelbeckplatz in Berlin/Wedding.

Six locations, including Nettelbeckplatz itself, are simultaneously open on 26 and 27 March 2022 – a constellation of interconnected places to be visited with each relating differently to sounds from the world we inhabit. From electronic live performances of artists working with field recordings and sound installations to unaltered acoustic time capsules, and encounters of relocated sonic realities embedded in the soundscape of Wedding, this project moves into a sonic zone of acoustic ecology.

The Betonhalle at silent green, MaerzMusik’s festival hub, is its beating heart, offering live concerts by electronic artists working with field recordings; the octagonal space of silent green’s Kuppelhalle hosts sound installations to be immersed in; Atelier 2 of silent green becomes a listening station that gives space to a plurality of soundscape approaches considering their temporal situatedness; SAVVY Contemporary invites single listeners to encounter a one-on-one relation with sound; Nettelbeckplatz bears witness to sounds from entirely different realities in the world; and Cashmere Radio, finally, offers a place and a frequency in which these layers of sonic experience meet and flow together. We invite you to spend four hours floating and circulating within soundscapes on your own path.

“A Garden of Forking Paths” opens MaerzMusik 2022 at the Gropius Bau, and another closes the festival – an invitation to enter relational encounters through, in and with sound, space and time.

Debut Album 'The Farthest Creole'

 

OpenLab - ALBUM OF THE WEEK

"In ‘The Farthest Creole’ (Bedouin Records), Sungho presents a broad, considered artistic vision. This is an ambient album built from intricately programmed synthetic elements and carefully assembled found sound and field recordings. It’s mostly beatless and much of it is brooding, occasionally pastoral ambient that veers into industrial soundscapes and even psychedelic rock. It’s challenging but an album that is worth your time, one that delivers more with familiarity. "

"From moments of warm, intense stillness, to the raw, free associated noise-fest of the final tracks, ‘The Farthest Creole’ is a clever album and there is deftness, mastery and an artist’s well-developed send of light and shade contained here. "

 

 

 

Essential Releases of bandcamp

 "The Farthest Creole, his latest LP for Bedouin Records, a stunning record that, true to its name, communicates directly in a mixture of sonic languages."

 "Just wonderful, from concept to execution."
