FLUX ROAD
A performative, experimental, walk-in performance with video, closed circuit installation, feedback as well as sound, voice, sound objects and light.
FLUX ROAD is based on the idea of Fluxus. In terms of content and motifs, ecological connections, flows and currents are thematized. Visitors and artists immerse themselves in a shared environment, merge with each other in the artwork and emphasize their interconnectedness. Everything is connected. Everyone is part of the whole. The boundary between viewer and artwork is dissolved.

aboreus.earth launches on Tuesday April 22-World Earth Day.
arboreus.earth is a collection of signature sounds from the one of the planet’s most loved plants-trees.
Together, these sonic portraits form a virtual, global forest. As they say, it takes a village to raise a forest, and that’s what arboreus.earth hopes to do. The site has been developed by Australian field recording sound artist, Kim V. Goldsmith, inviting field recordists, sound artists and acoustic ecologists from across the world to contribute sounds and information to grow the archive.

New release, TRIGA TAIGA – Mad sun rising.
Instruction for action “Mad Sun Rising” by TRIGA TAIGA, how to.
No AGI inside, music for humans.
TRIGA TAIGA works with machines that work against machines, broken machines, machines that have gone astray, machines that are on the run and are captured. An acoustic fusion kitchen. A hot pot full of sounds.
It gets even wilder, but later. So stay tuned and make something nice.
Mastered according to traditional 90s knowledge to be played at full volume on space stations, private yachts, business jets, yoga studios and dark cellars a.o. But also suitable for headphones, for those who don’t want it any other way. Pump up the volume and smile, your neighbors will love it !

If the sounds produced by marine organisms were stored in sediments in some way, they could be heard as a kind of “echo of the past”.
The sound installation “Sediments” plays with this idea.
It is as if one were experiencing the inaccessible, ancient and unfathomable nature of the deep sea in acoustic form, creating an immersive and almost otherworldly soundscape.
It reflects the mysterious and often frightening atmosphere of the deep sea, a place where the unknown is always present.

Noise of Cologne 3
As a rule, compilation series are released in a sequence of several months or years. “Noise Of Cologne” is different: Part 1 was released in 2010, part 2 followed in 2013 and the third part of the series is now available in 2024 – with a total of 73 one-minute contributions from various musicians, bands and projects from Cologne. The one-minute format forces the contributions to be condensed and “Noise Of Cologne 3” offers a varied spectrum of experimental music: from musique concrète, electronic music, field recordings and environmental music to soundscapes, no wave, computer music and post-minimal music to experimental club music, turntablism, ambient and hauntology. Above all, “Noise of Cologne 3” offers surprises: Trance synthesizers alongside vocal acrobatics and terror drums as well as numerous “unlikely combinations” (David Toop) – music not yet classified or rubricated: noise, if you will.
The CD compiled by Frank Dommert (a-Musik) and Dirk Specht (Therapeutische Hörgruppe) brings together musicians who have been contributing to the musical map of Cologne for years and decades, as well as those who are just starting out, trying things out, building something, getting loud, getting involved, contributing.
