Installation & Happening
Pauline Oliveros: Sonic Meditations
PHØNIX16, Opening MaerzMusik 2021 © Marlena Waldthausen / Berliner Festspiele
“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.
