HAR EXPERIMENTAL CURATIONS

Berlin, 2024

How do we sense sound? / How can sound and listening practices alter our perception of the time/space?

Hosted in Har Studio Berlin from 2024 to 2025, this bimonthly event is an invitation to explore the body as a receptor of sound that actively participates in and is shaped by the action of listening. Perception is approached as a constant river of impulses arriving on our senses, which mutates and adapts with them. How can we alter our perception just by listening? Can listening bring us to deeper levels of our consciousness? The sound journeys break from the traditional “sound healing” aesthetic, merging acoustic and electronic instruments to obtain deep meditation and trance states.

INFINITE ECHOES + NICO TROMPE | 08.06.24

This is a transcendent deep listening experience that blends ancient sounds with modern electronic techniques. Nico’s journey comprises the ethereal sounds of gongs, mouth harps, chimes, and electric frequencies while being looped into a tapestry of dreamy and timeless soundscapes.

 

SENSING VIBRATIONS + JANE ARNISON | 17.08.24

Through a carefully composed vibrational subtonic journey, given by the mix of electronic frequencies and live instruments on and off the body, Jane aims to expand our sensory perception and deepen our awareness of ourselves and our environment.

 

TRANSIENT DRONES + NICO ROSENBERG | 12.10.2024

For the session, Nico Rosenberg presents a composition of layered drones and tonal textures that evoke a sense of timelessness, while AnaRosa brings the body into presence using acoustic instruments. The subtle shifts in sound will guide us through different emotional landscapes, inviting us to experience the fluidity of time as it unfolds in each moment.
