TueDaniela Huerta, aka Baby Vulture, sets the scene for the evening with a hybrid set. Renowned, prolific American composer and installation artist Ashley Fure explores the kinetic side of sound with “Hive Rise,” created in collaboration with interdisciplinary artist and director Lilleth Glimcher. A hand-picked ensemble performs with custom 3D-printed megaphones developed in collaboration with Matter Design (Brandon Clifford, Wes McGee, and Johanna Lobdell), producing focused vectors of sound as they move around the building. Berlin-based producer and DJ Felicia Chen, better known as Dis Fig, performs visceral, intimate sonic expulsions, as heard on her debut album, Purge. Mohammad, aka MMMD, bring together gut-wrenching frequencies, dark folk aesthetics, and ceremonial experiences in their live performances. In Rakta’s music, eerie, nightmarish grooves crescendo and hypnotic wails envelop listeners, swallowing them into a sonic world that is ghostly, inundating, and psychedelic.
"Hive Rise" is a coproduction with the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program.
