“Sound Sources. Everything is Music!”
with Jan-Philipp Kluck (research assistant)
 

Sounds determine our everyday lives and can be heard all around us, even in what seem to be the quietest moments. Every single place has its own soundscape, shaped by our immediate surroundings, by animals and people, by their actions and interactions. How does the setting affect the perception of what we hear? How do the environment, sound, people and music relate to each other?

Jan-Philipp Kluck takes visitors on a tour around the exhibition and enter into a dialogue with contemporary music and encourage visitors to reflect upon the significance of sounds in their own lifeworld.

Δ ARTIST TALK

“A life for the kadedek” – A mouth organ from West Kalimantan, Indonesia
with Bunau (instrument maker) and Nursalim Yadi Anugerah (composer)

Bunau from the village of Engkurai in West Kalimantan – the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo – is currently the only instrument maker with the skills to manufacture the kadedek, a kind of mouth organ. In recent years he has been working with the Indonesian composer Nursalim Yadi Anugerah (whose music features in a concert on 16 May). Bunau views other, non-traditional music genres as an opportunity for stopping the kadedek from falling into obscurity. In a conversation with curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski, Bunau talks about the kadedek and demonstrates the instrument’s sound. Nursalim Yadi Anugerah describes how he integrates the kadedek into his contemporary compositions.
In Indonesian with German translation.

Price: Included in the cost of admission to the exhibition. No need to book.

Δ WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS

"Hearing the sound of silence”
With Martin Brüger (meditation trainer and artist)

Sound and silence aren’t just opposites, they are the two indivisible extremes of hearing, because silence can only be experienced via sound and vice versa. In this guided meditative workshop connected with the exhibition “SOUND SOURCES. Everything Is Music”, we will find out about various meditative exercises that sharpen our sense of hearing and let us develop an awareness of hearing as a process that ultimately takes place in our consciousness rather than in our ears. The exercises presented here will offer the participants a whole new dimension of experience that extends from meditatively listening to self-made and external sounds through to chilling in the power of audio silence. And sound, of course, is also a means of communication: after a phase of meditative sensitisation to sound and silence we will round off the evening with a communal sound/silence performance. Nobody needs musical skills for this workshop; it is much more about being open to insights about hearing processes, and being eager to find out about a more sensitive perception of ourselves and our surroundings.

No prior experience required
Workshop attendance: 6 euros plus the cost of admission to the exhibition.

Δ *** FULLY BOOKED*** ​Gamelan-Workshop

With: Frank Purwanto und Heri Djajasumadi

Gamelan orchestras are an important aspect of Javanese and Balinese court cultures, but there are also smaller ensembles in the villages. While the metallophones play the melody, the gongs are responsible for the rhythm. The group is conducted by predefined combinations of drum beats which determine the speed or volume. Gamelan orchestras can play on their own or as an accompaniment to dancing or shadow puppetry. There are also smaller gong ensembles on other Indonesian islands, but the Javanese or Balinese gamelan is the most well known by far.

As part of the "Sound Sources" exhibition, the gamelan orchestra Wacana Budaya regularly offers workshops in the exhibition. Wacana Budaya from Frankfurt Höchst was founded in 1984. During the workshop, you will play on instruments from the museum collection on the upper floor of the exhibition.

Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours

Further dates:
Sunday, 21 July 2024, 3 pm
Saturday, 31 August 2024, 3 pm

No prior experience required.
Place on workshop: €6 plus the cost of admission to the exhibition. Please book in advance.
