Almost There. Die Befindlichkeit der Räume is a dystopian novel by Marta Orlando that takes shape through the intertwining of writing, drawings, and sound. Harata gets lost in the Amazon on a journey that is both physical and spiritual, searching for his roots; Deepa, a DJ from Latós, produces music while wondering how the plants she cultivates are listening to the world; and finally there’s Palermo, a city in the wake of a cyberattack and the collapse of an unsustainable model of tourism.

IwtIcwlabd is a body of work that has grown as a collective effort. Following the origin of the word concert – to contest, question, dispute (with) as well as agreement in action. IwtIcwlabd has been shaped by public workshops and through improvisation sessions with a group of bass players and the performers chopping wood. I realized sound design on side A and made the composition of side B. The concept and texts are by Freja Bäckman.

2020 Coda press has published an LP with two tracks. In the extract you can hear a shortened version.

“Bestiarium. An interactive round of sound for people ages 5 and up”

On this fable-lous tour of HKW, concert, music theater and sound installation combine to form an interactive adventure.Singular sounds whirr through the corridors and rooms, strange figures dart through the hallways and an old gramophone recording calls for help. In a hidden research lab populated by almost forgotten, whimsical beings, all your senses are called upon to search for solutions.
