Spatial Audio Showcase – Part I
MONOM
With the Spatial Audio Showcase at ZiMMT, an extended listening session takes place with archived concerts from MONOM as part of the European Spatial Sound Exchange (ESSE) throughout the first part of the evening, and works from the Phonon Ambisonics Summer School, throughout the second half.
The European Spatial Sound Exchange (ESSE) is a pilot project that is part of MusicAIRE (An Innovative Recovery for Europe). Initiated by MONOM, the experimental performance space and studio in Berlin, its aim is to up a dialogue with European spatial sound venues and event organisers to explore how spatial sound works by musicians can be shared between European venues with spatial sound capabilities. At ZiMMT we will present four recordings of each 30 minutes length from the archive of MONOM, all spatialized in 4DSOUND. The pieces will be adapted to our sound system beforehand.
The project is co-funded by MusicAIRE, Music Moves Europe and the European Union.

About the Artists
Bendik Giske
Bendik Giske is a Norwegian artist and saxophonist whose expressive use of physicality, vulnerability, and endurance has earned him critical acclaim. His debut album, Surrender, stripped him down to the core, featuring no overdubs, looping, or effects, just his body, breath, saxophone, and a resonant physical space. Giske’s use of his body is reflective of his childhood dance training in Bali and his queerness, which has influenced his striking, embodied performances. Giske’s second album, Cracks, features his collaboration with producer André Bratten and his extensive studio of electronic machines. Giske’s self-imposed constraints, such as circular breathing, induce a kind of altered state that defies time and hints at theorist José Muñoz’s notion of “queer time.” Giske’s Cracks are a celebration of corporeal states and divergent behaviors, featuring a sensual and lingering beauty with a touch of the superhuman.
William Russell
William Russell is an Australian-born spatial sound artist, composer, and the co-founder and creative director of MONOM Studios. With a background in spatial sound design and classical percussion, William has collaborated with over 150 artists since the opening of MONOM Studios in December 2017 to produce and present more than 100 spatial sound works across a diverse range of genres and disciplines, including music, dance, opera, theatre, and virtual and augmented reality. As an artist, William is particularly focused on creating and recreating the sonic and spatial dynamics of climate phenomena. His works incorporate music to inspire empathetic awareness of the environment and highlight the inseparable connection between humans and nature.
Lovotic
Lovotics is a new field of research that seeks to explore and develop the possibilities of sexual and emotional relationships, and even love, between humans and robots. Soundwalk Collective interrogates the impulses, ideas, and needs underlying this research and ventures into a future where sex, intimacy, and desire are reformulated through the intertwined connection of humans, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Human identity in an age of hybrid entanglement of the human and the machine requires and enables the construction of new forms of intimacy, gender, and sexuality. At present, however, we use such technologies primarily to produce programs of limited sexual iterations without questioning preformatted categories of gender and sexuality upheld in the interest of bio-political and economic appropriation. In contrast, Soundwalk Collective, together with actors Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe, queer theorist Paul B. Preciado, and musicians Lyra Pramuk and Atom TM, who contribute texts, sounds, and voices, ask whether the future of intimacy could rather be an exponentially expanding kaleidoscope of sexuality. Throughout the piece, gender-blurring voices of various post-human entities allow a new language to emerge, which is generated by self-learning algorithms based on a database of excerpts from 20th century studies and literary texts on sexuality and gender.
Zoë Mc Pherson
Described as a “vanguard” by British publication Mixmag and “fearless” by Hyponik, Berlin-based Zoë Mc Pherson is a French-Irish multimedia artist whose practice absorbs elements of performance, sound design, installation art and DJing. Their breathless third album “Pitch Blender” is a tight set of cybernetic dancefloor experiments that flicker between the rave and the art space, and arrives courtesy of SFX, the boundary-pushing A/V-focused label Mc Pherson runs with their long-time collaborator Alessandra Leone. Since the release of their immersive 2018 debut album “String Figures” and its acclaimed 2020 follow-up “States of Fugue”, Mc Pherson has performed across the world, appearing at Berlin’s CTM Festival, Nyege Nyege in Jinja, Uganda, Freerotation in the UK, Meakusma in Belgium, Madrid’s LEV, Amsterdam’s FIBER festival, Elevate Festival in Graz and Malmö’s Inkonst. They’ve presented spatial sound installations at Berlin’s world-famous MONOM (the world’s first 4DSOUND system), Silent Green amongst others, and work alongside bULt, in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city, to invite musicians to perform and hold workshops at a brand new queer-owned club.
