Podcast: Wem gehört Deutschland? Episode 1/8 https://www.hkw.de/programme/wem-gehoert-deutschland-podcast

If truth is stranger than fiction, why shouldn’t music be stranger than science fiction? Sounds manipulate space and time, unlock new dimensions and open wormholes in parallel universes. In this respect, sonic fiction does the same as fantasy literature: It distorts the present and creates space for alternative worlds. Speakers: Sarj Lynch, Sasha Perera. Editing and production: Julia Vorkefeld. Re...

In the approach to Jupiter, the sun can be heard singing. But apart from the soundscapes on neighboring planets or in black holes, according to probability theory there is also extraterrestrial music. Science fiction literature has made it possible to understand how it might sound: a cacophony of smells or a symphony of free energy flows. Speakers: Sarj Lynch, Sasha Perera. Editing and production:...

The slogan used to advertise Ridley Scott’s science fiction film “Alien” is nothing more than a statement of fact: In space, no one can hear you scream. But isn’t the idea of sound everywhere in space, which is permeated to the last corner by cosmic background radiation, like an echo of the Big Bang? Speakers: Sarj Lynch, Sasha Perera. Editing and production: Julia Vorkefeld. Recordings: Matthias...

„Ich bitte euch, heute Nacht nicht zu schlafen.“ Nachdem die erste Staffel von Ilse Aichingers titelgebenden Essay Schlechte Wörter und ihrer widerständigen Poetik ausging, führt Etel Adnans Bei Nacht leben in die Dunkelheit.

Club culture is a global phenomenon, but usually only a few centers are in the focus of general perceptions. What challenges do protagonists face away from the big cities? What conditions shape dance floors and their social contexts there? In “Shaping Dance Floors, Locally,” organizers and club activists from small German towns talk about how they create space for dance and dialogue in their speci...

The legacies of colonialism tend to find expression in a language that contemporary audiences find familiar and compelling, and hence remain largely unquestioned. As part of The White West IV: Whose Universal?, the podcast invites participants of the conferences and other experts to discuss the overlaps between metaphysical predicates and colonial formations. Rajkamal Kahlon in conversation with A...

What forms of resistance can cinema offer? What relations exist between documentary film and activism? How does feminist film deal with sexually explicit images? These questions and more are addressed in a podcast series accompanying the exhibition “No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image,” curated by Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg. In her 1982 film “Reassemblage,” Trinh T. M...

The Mississippi River traverses the United States for 2,350 miles from Lake Itasca in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico as a route of migration, trade, exploitation, and cultural exchange. The musicians Swamp Dogg, Donald Harrison, Leyla McCalla and Logan Schutts explain how influences from West Africa and the Caribbean find new forms in places like Congo Square in New Orleans and how important rhyt...

Alluvial soil and sediments of large parts of the USA are deposited on the southern banks of the Mississippi. In the opposite direction, from the mouth of the river and its delta, cultural riches were brought north and from there to the entire world: the globally understood languages of blues, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll and soul. The musicians Swamp Dogg, Donald Harrison, Leyla McCalla and Logan Schutts...

Music doesn’t only belong to humans. Whales and songbirds also hand down their songs from generation to generation. Musician David Rothenberg improvises with nightingales, biologist Tina Roeske studies their social behavior; both want to understand: Can nightingales and humans communicate with each other via sound? Can they learn from each other in doing so? In “Chirp Along! The Joys of Making Mus...

Architecture can be described as frozen music. For some musicians, it’s not enough to just thaw it; they want to make conventions flow. Ethnomusicologist Michael E. Veal finds new opportunities for comprehension in collapse and distortion, which he talks about in the On Music podcast episode on Living Space. Veal approaches the free jazz of John Coltrane and Miles Davis via visual metaphors, showi...

In the final years of the Soviet Union, how did the subculture win over conceptual and real freedoms? Did a trail lead from occupied houses in Moscow and St. Petersburg to the Afrofuturism of Sun Ra and Missy Elliott? Musicologists Giada Dalla Bontà and Holger Schulze trace the developmental lines of sonic fiction. They follow the mythical language around the term coined by Kodwo Eshun and explore...

Eine Verweigerung gegen das Gebotene, gegen falsche Zusammenhänge und Gewissheiten. Können wir verlernen, die Gewalt in der Sprache zu reproduzieren? Sind die schwächeren Ausdrücke die Rettung? Ausgeh...
