Sound Walk

Saturday, February 23th 2019, 1:50-2:45, pm Museum für Kommunikation, Bern
Join us for a sound walk with sound archivist Félix Blume. Together we sharpen our sense of hearing and listen to the city. Through different listening exercises we focus on that surrounds us, that we try to blend out and forget, the tiny sounds that get lost in our daily lives. For an instant we blur the line between sound, music and noise and perceive our surroundings as a symphony. Thus, an allegedly well-known world can be experienced anew.

Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer. He currently works and lives in Mexico and France. His work is focused on listening, it invites us to live sonic experiences that enable a different perception of the surroundings. He uses sound as basic material in sound pieces, videos, actions and installations.

Short Film: Nur Ton

TICKETS
As sound engineer for over a decade, Félix Blume collects sounds all over the world for his own archives and for film projects. One day he realized, that the hunt for sounds produces images that are often absurd, poetic and funny, so he started to collect not only the sounds but also the images. His short films show the caring and careful work of the archivist and offer an unusual perspective on the collected sound: We hear the rustling sound of an empty can and see a man strangely chasing that can with his microphone boom in the Chilean desert. We see that boom used as a fishing pole on a quay in Turkey and hear the sound in the perspective of the bait.

Félix Blume presents his short films and talks about his work as a sound archivist.

Panel discussion: Intimacy and the Swiss – How to get them to talk?

Saturday, February 23th 2018, 9:30 pm, Kino REX 2
TICKETS
Creating intimacy is one of the great strengths of audio productions. But we often attribute a way of personal storytelling to a cultural particularity of the U.S. «Swiss will never speak as easily about private manners in a podcast as Americans do» is one of the stereotypes and concerns Swiss podcasters express. For «Brise Glace» the producers Célia Héron and Virginie Nussbaum talked with different people about sex, drugs, disability, death, in short: about life. And in Naomi Gregoris’ «Untenrum» women talk about their sexuality in order to find a common language, to share experience and to empower each other. These two podcasts managed to get people to narrate their most personal topics. How did they do it?

Talk in English with excerpts from «Brise Glace» and «Untenrum» (both with English manuscript).

Marokkanische Gesänge, Gebete und Rituale liefern das Ausgangsmaterial für das Stück. Atemzug um Atemzug, Ballon um Ballon, wird eine Performance der Künstlerin Ramia Beladel reflektiert und das Material neu zusammengesetzt.
