– Performing a solo concert for biophysical music. The concert will include two pieces, “Music for Flesh II” and “Ominous”.

Leslie García, the invited co-programmer of this year’s MusicMaker’s Hacklab, and Italian installation and sound artist Marco Donnarumma will both perform on Friday 23 January at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien as part of the Hacklab opening, which also coincides with the CTM 2015 Exhibition Opening. The opening and exhibition are free to the public. Concerts start at 19.00.

Through its Un Tune theme, CTM 2015 aims to engage with the direct bodily effects of frequencies, sound, and music as well as with their synergistic effects with other sensory stimuli. The festival will thus highlight, more than ever, the adventurous, exploratory side of music and art. Artistic experimentation with the affective and somatic effects of sounds and frequencies opens up possibilities of tuning and de-tuning the composite that interconnects body, matter, energy and (musical) machines – and of exploring our perception.
