Chapter 3: Sound is a Matter of the Imagination | Cosmic Awakening

If truth is stranger than fiction, why shouldn’t music be stranger than science fiction? Sounds manipulate space and time, unlock new dimensions and open wormholes in parallel universes. In this respect, sonic fiction does the same as fantasy literature: It distorts the present and creates space for alternative worlds. Speakers: Sarj Lynch, Sasha Perera. Editing and production: Julia Vorkefeld. Recordings: Matthias Hartenberger. Concept and script: Arno Raffeiner. With quotes from works by J. G. Ballard, Jimmy Carter, Becky Chambers, Kodwo Eshun, Ursula K. Le Guin, Daniel Oberhaus, Sun Ra, Holger Schulze, David Tudor, Whitney Wei. Music: Elysia Crampton – Morning Star-Red Glare-Sequoia Bridge; Fatima Al Qadiri – Aftermath; Earth, Wind & Fire – Jupiter; Caterina Barbieri – Closest Approach to Your Orbit; John Williams – Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Parliament – Mothership Connection (Star Child); Janelle Monáe – BaBopByeYa; Drexciya – Intro: Temple Of Dos De Agua; Drexciya – Andreaen Sand Dunes; Lonnie Holley – In It Too Deep; June Tyson – Satellites Are Spinning

Chapter 2: How Loud is the Sun | Cosmic Awakening

In the approach to Jupiter, the sun can be heard singing. But apart from the soundscapes on neighboring planets or in black holes, according to probability theory there is also extraterrestrial music. Science fiction literature has made it possible to understand how it might sound: a cacophony of smells or a symphony of free energy flows. Speakers: Sarj Lynch, Sasha Perera. Editing and production: Julia Vorkefeld. Recordings: Matthias Hartenberger. Concept and script: Arno Raffeiner. With quotes from works by Isaac Asimov, Octavia E. Butler, Becky Chambers, Edward George, Stanislav Lem, Andi Petculescu, Sun Ra. Music: Elysia Crampton – Morning Star-Red Glare-Sequoia Bridge; Ursula K.

Chapter 1: In Space No One Can Hear You Scream | Cosmic Awakening

The slogan used to advertise Ridley Scott’s science fiction film “Alien” is nothing more than a statement of fact: In space, no one can hear you scream.

Editing and production: Julia Vorkefeld. Recordings: Matthias Hartenberger. Concept and script: Arno Raffeiner. With quotes from works by Isaac Asimov, Jimmy Carter, Samuel R. Delany, Donna Haraway, N.K. Jemisin, Ursula K. Le Guin, Stanisław Lem, Sun Ra, Arkadi and Boris Strugazki.

Schlechte Wörter / Bad Words #6

„Ich bitte euch, heute Nacht nicht zu schlafen.“ Nachdem die erste Staffel von Ilse Aichingers titelgebenden Essay Schlechte Wörter und ihrer widerständigen Poetik ausging, führt Etel Adnans Bei Nacht leben in die Dunkelheit. Zwischen dem revolutionären Potential des Wachbleibens und den umhüllenden Qualitäten der Nacht, verhandelt die zweite Staffel Sprache als Mittel des Schweigens und die Nacht als einen Ort der lebenden Toten. Ausgehend von verschiedenen Texten, schafft die Audioserie Schlechte Wörter einen Ort für ein anderes Sprechen über Sprache und Literatur, für die Annäherung an ein neues Sprachgefühl. Aus Gesprächen, Lesungen, Sprachnachrichten, Field Recordings und Musik entsteht ein begehbarer, vielstimmiger Raum mit wechselnden Gästen. Die Verabredung lautet: Wir gehen von einem Text aus, damit ein anderer Text beginnen kann. Eine Audioserie von Fabian Saul, in Zusammenarbeit mit Mathias Zeiske. Schlechte Wörter #6 mit Beiträgen von Marica Bodrožić, Athena Farrokhzad, Lama El Khatib, Enis Maci, Tanasgol Sabbagh and Haytham El Wardany www.hkw.de/schlechtewoerter +++ “I am inviting you to not sleep tonight.” After the first season took Ilse Aichinger’s titular essay Bad Words and its resistant poetics as its point of departure, Etel Adnan’s Night takes us into the darkness. Between the revolutionary potential of staying awake and the shrouding qualities of night, the second season negotiates language as a means of silence and the night as a place of the living dead. Based on various works, the audio series Bad Words creates a place for a different way of speaking about language and literature, for approaching a new sense of language. From talks, readings, voice messages, field recordings and music, a walk-in space of multiple voices is created with changing guests. The agreement is: We start from one written work so that another can begin. An audio series by Fabian Saul, in cooperation with Mathias Zeiske.

Shaping Dance Floors, Locally | On Music

Club culture is a global phenomenon, but usually only a few centers are in the focus of general perceptions. What challenges do protagonists face away from the big cities? What conditions shape dance floors and their social contexts there? In “Shaping Dance Floors, Locally,” organizers and club activists from small German towns talk about how they create space for dance and dialogue in their specific contexts and thus continue to work on the large, common project of a politics of dance floors. With Sedef Adasi, Gîn Bali, Ra-min, Ulrike Schell Commentary: Sarj Lynch, production and editing: Julia Vorkefeld, interviews and script: Arno Raffeiner In collaboration with Refuge Worldwide Curated by Transmission (Sarah Farina and Kerstin Meißner) Music: Little Dragon – Hold On (Sarah Farina Remix), Nas – The Don, Octo Octa – Deep Connections, Hird feat. Yukimi Nagano – Keep You Kimi, Amy Winehouse – In My Bed (Bugz in the Attic Vocal Mix), Sedef Adasi – Gel Gidelim, Naty Seres – Sometimes I Feel, AG Geige – Maximale Gier (Credit 00 Remake), Zombie Nation – Kernkraft 400.

Episode 16: Rajkamal Kahlon | The White West: Whose Universal?

The legacies of colonialism tend to find expression in a language that contemporary audiences find familiar and compelling, and hence remain largely unquestioned. As part of The White West IV: Whose Universal?, the podcast invites participants of the conferences and other experts to discuss the overlaps between metaphysical predicates and colonial formations. Rajkamal Kahlon in conversation with Ana Teixeira Pinto More information: www.hkw.de/whoseuniversal www.hkw.de/en/thewhitewest

Cinema and Everyday Resistance | No Master Territories

What forms of resistance can cinema offer? What relations exist between documentary film and activism? How does feminist film deal with sexually explicit images? These questions and more are addressed in a podcast series accompanying the exhibition “No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image,” curated by Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg. In her 1982 film “Reassemblage,” Trinh T. Minh-ha influentially reformulated the terms of the ethnographic encounter: she would not “speak about,” but “speak nearby.” In this conversation with artist-filmmaker Laura Huertas Millán, the two discuss this concept and others pertaining to both their practices. More about the exhibition: www.hkw.de/en/NoMaster Sound excerpts from Trinh T. Minh-ha, What About China? (2022), copyright Moongift Films
