    “Sound Sources. Everything is Music!”
    with Talida Hölting (cultural mediator)

    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?

    Talida Hölting 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.

    The sound of the South Pacific
    For the exhibition “Sound sources. Everything is Music!”
    With Matthias Claudius Hofmann (curator of the Oceania collection)

    Sounds shape our everyday lives, and even at the stillest of moments they can be heard all around us. Each and every place has its own specific soundscape. Even the geocultural region of Oceania, or the Pacific, is a ‘quiet’ ocean, according to its name.

    Whether it’s bark beaters, water drums, shark rattles or kaneka pop music, exploring the sound of the South Pacific allows us to gain a fascinating glimpse of the culture and worldview of societies in Oceania.

    In this tour, Matthias Claudius Hofmann highlights the themes of the exhibition by looking at selected examples of exhibits from the Oceania collection and provides some in-depth insights into the culturally determined meanings of sounds in the South Pacific.

    Open your ears: Sound performance
    with Talida Hölting (Cultural mediator)

    Is it music or noise or something else altogether? What do places sound like at certain times of year? What is the sound of silence? In the exhibition “Sound Sources. Everything is Music!” we sharpen our sense of hearing, collect noises, listen to sounds that have almost disappeared and discover the significance of the most diverse acoustic phenomena. After visiting the exhibition, the participants will arrange the noises they have collected to create an orchestra. Anyone can become a conductor by following the rules of soundpainting.




    for all age groups, price € 6 per person
