Since even minimal changes in the intensity of breathing or the position of the mouth have serious tonal consequences, special emphasis should be placed on distinguishing the smallest nuances. No value should be placed on the comprehensibility of the words.

Grenzraum HÖREN

Dec. 2023

Hearing in the Borderzone

“Grenzraum HÖREN” is a collective study of hearing itself, the limits of hearing and the spaces that are created by extending our notion of what hearing is – those spaces that differentiate between the audible and the inaudible. The programme will engage with the works of two composers in particular: Jakob Ullmann’s “voice, books and FIRE II” and Pauline Oliveros’s “Sonic Meditations”. In rituals, meditations, installations and sonic actions spread across the festival, hearing itself becomes the theme of listening.
