SOUNDSEEING – The 2023 Programme

Sound art exhibitions, concerts, workshops

20,000 visitors were captivated by the Münsterland-wide sound festival SOUNDSEEING at the last edition in 2021. In 2023, SOUNDSEEING will again specifically link international sound artists with the NRW sound art scene, which is considered one of the most active and high-profile in Europe.
The festival will take place from March to August 2023. The festival programme includes four sound art exhibitions, sound art installations, extraordinary concerts, sound art projects for participation, sound art workshops and interactions…

All events

25.03. – 30.04. | Autokult Sketch Trübung | Exhibition

Students of the Suchan Kinoshita class | University of Fine Arts Münster | Kulturgut Haus Nottbeck
Klankunst Student Klasse Kinoshita

Students from the Suchan Kinoshita class at the Münster Art Academy are developing interventions at the cultural property Haus Nottbeck. With the place itself as a starting point, as an instrument that can be played, the students engage with it, explore it and let it inspire their works.
Seeing a place by hearing, only seeing, only hearing or hearing by seeing. The extent to which this interplay can take place must be constantly explored anew and can never be taken for granted. Everything that is brought along fits into the existing, plays with it and explores it. The goal is an interplay that cannot arise anywhere else in this way, but could be practised everywhere in this way. At the end of the two-week work phase at the cultural estate, the works created on site in the interior and exterior spaces will be presented.

The artists are Alma Mariama Camara, Anja Mothes, Bastian Buddenbrock, Jennifer Rommel, Leon-Maxim Lindner, Malin Schlebusch, Marie Parohl, Micael Gonçalves Ribeiro, Sophie Rebentisch.

Opening: Sat 25.03.2023 | 3.00 p.m. with artistic actions and performances under the motto “I like hats; I brought a helmet.”
Location: Kulturgut Haus Nottbeck | Landrat-Predeick-Allee 1 | 59302 Oelde
Opening hours: Museum: Tue – Fri 2 – 6 p.m. | Sat, Sun and public holidays 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Interactive sound art project | Muzak & Riha | Kulturgut Haus Nottbeck
Der transformator von Muzak und Riha in Aktion

In the multimedia transformer in Nottbeck, Muzak & Riha transform image into sound and sound into image, image sound or sound image. In the process, material is alternately stretched back and forth between the artists. Losses, interference and fragmentation become visible and audible. Found footage, literary text fragments, a phonetic alphabet and specially recorded material serve as input material. Muzak & Riha will work live on site and invite the viewers to interact.

Opening: 09.05. – Time to follow!

12.05. – 04.06. | COFFEE TIME and EIGHT DOUBLE SUDOKUS

Multimedia sound art | Paul Panhuysen | Ausstellungshalle Hawerkamp
Paul Panhuysen –

Paul Panhuysen (Netherlands), who died in 2015, was one of the pioneers of multimedia sound art; he was one of the leading members of the second generation of the Dutch Fluxus movement. As early as 1989, one of his spectacular long-side installations was shown at the back of the cuba in Münster. We have made a selection of the works that can be realized especially in the exhibition hall at Hawerkamp with his widow Hélène Panhuysen. The exhibition of his works, which are still current and influential today, at the Kunsthalle Hawerkamp in Münster is supported by the Panhuysen Estate. It is the first solo exhibition of his works post mortem.

Opening: 12.05. at 7 p.m.
Welcome: Markus Lewe, Lord Mayor of the City of Münster
Location: Exhibition Hall Hawerkamp | Hawerkamp 31 | Hall B | 48155 Münster

14.05. – 23.07. | Schattenklänge | Exhibition and performance

Peter Vogel and Achim Vogel Muranyi | Burg Vischering
Klangwände analog und digital Peter Vogel und

Achim Vogel Muranyi and Peter Vogel Heritage present two interactive sound walls from two different eras. The analogue sound wall “Rhythmic Sounds I” from the 1990s – an electronic wall installation with 18 light sensors – and the digital sound wall “Techno Soundwall” from the present – a computer-programmed version based on audio samples. Both sound walls are inspired by club and techno music and can be played intuitively.

Both artists are linked by seven years of close collaboration. While the artist Peter Vogel, who died in 2017, laid the foundation of interactive sound object art, Achim Vogel’s work can be seen as a logical further development. Differences as well as similarities are not only of a technical nature, they also reflect their own zeitgeist in terms of content, which is particularly clear in the juxtaposition of their sound walls.

Marion Haak-Schulenburg | Mathis Mayr | Ravi Srinivasan | Gregor Schulenburg | Universitiy of Music Münster
Mathis Mayr und Ravi Srinivasan

A new musical concert format full of experiences for the audience is presented by the four-member ensemble “Ears Wide Open”. Pieces, songs and dances from different musical traditions serve as a starting point for improvisations, which are sometimes played groovy and rousing, sometimes lyrical and contemplative. The result is a concert experience in which touching, great music resounds as if by magic, in which everyone is involved – an impressive experience full of sound, interaction and togetherness, which has already enchanted the Berlin audience.

The ensemble consists of the Indian tabla virtuoso Ravi Srinivasan, who is also trained in classical Indian vocal techniques and is a virtuoso whistler. Mathis Mayr participates on the cello, and Gregor Schulenburg plays the flute, Armenian duduk and Japanese Zen flute Kyotaku. As host and expert in collaborative music making and community music, singer Marion Haak-Schulenburg directs the event. The audience is invited to join the ensemble with various instruments, singing, snapping, clapping and existing small instruments.

Konzert Performance

Fine Kwiatkowski, dance | Gandolfo Pagano, music | Willehad Grafenhorst, music & video projection

MONDOLETTOSOTTOILCORVO blends the experiences of two musicians, raised in opposite regions of Europe. They met in 2018 in the Madonie region of Sicily and were surprised by the synergy they immediately felt. This gave birth to the idea of this project.
“musica molto interessante” (Battiti, RAI 3, 10/28/2021).
“… in the sound energetics of this music one senses the ruthlessness of this natural event, to which animal and human disturbances apparently cannot harm anything.” (Gisela Nauck, DLF, 4/24/2021)
Improvisation is a practice in which every action is brought about by listening to each other; this creates a dialogue. The musicians interact permanently, give impulses – every action is at the same time cause and effect of unforeseen developments that create real compositions.

Start: 8 p.m.
Venue: BLACK BOX at cuba-cultur | Achtermannstraße 10 | 48143 Münster

30.07. – 27.08. | Achim Vogel Muranyi

Light & Sound Exhibition | Kunstverein Münsterland Coesfeld
Klangkunst Achim Vogel Muranyi

“The beats and loops of electronic dance music from the 80s and 90s have had a lasting influence on me. Sound and music are not accessories for language and image, but they are the origin of all creative processes. In this exhibition, the visitor has the opportunity to engage musically and creatively with the various sound wall reliefs. Through reflective interaction for self-empowerment and through active action, the result is – I hope – an individually and personally experienced spatial visual sound event.”

Klangkunst Festival-Tag in Rheine mit dem Klang Duo Osnabrück, Pia Marei Hauser

Total sound art… with: Sound concert by Klang Duo Osnabrück and music act by flutist Pia Marei Hauser, Rheine Music School. Workshops and installations: Yannik Richter (requested), Light Art & Sound – Frederic Schröder, Klanginstitut Köln, Michael Bradke and others.

Klang Duo Osnabrück “Chillin’ Grooves” – Musician’s life over beats and spherical sounds
The music is characterised by a rather calm tempo, beyond virtuosity. The pieces can be characterised as a varying body of work with flowing transitions. The combination of electronics, programmed colour-light beams and natural instruments such as RAV drum, drum and didgeridoo create a very special sound experience. The KlangDuo invites you to groove along in a relaxed way.

The Klanginstitut Köln offers a Sonic Pi workshop. Participants can programme their own sounds without any special prior knowledge. Participants learn the basics of the programme and are shown step by step how to produce their own sounds. Sonic Pi is a free open-source music programme that was originally developed for the small computer Raspberry Pi. The programme uses the computer as a musical instrument.
The Klanginstitut Köln will also be showing a sound art installation. The idea came from the Lockdown: they wanted to bridge the spatial distances musically-acoustically.  For the KlangKunst Festival, the Klanginstitut is developing a Münsterland map: for all the places represented in the SOUNDSEEING Festival, characteristic sounds will be processed into musical loops that the viewers can mix and arrange themselves. Loudspeakers will be set up around the instrument so that the sounds of the places can be heard from the respective compass direction. In this way, one can acoustically overcome the distances between the places and go on a listening journey.

anni YU (she/her) is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and singer living in Cologne and moving musically between neo-soul and melodic techno.
Under the motto Love is Love, anni YU uses her music as a platform to give queer people space, to become visible and to create exchange.

Michael Bradke and his “Mobiles Musik Museum“ present the “Wasser Orchester”. The interactive sound installation can be played by 40 people at the same time. We look forward to creative, spontaneous compositions!
