Presentation: Gregorio García Karman
In German

Lauded as futuristic sound machine and synthesizer of socialism, the Subharchord is a musical instrument that integrates subharmonic sounds into the sound production process. Sound poet Tomomi Adachi, composer Mark Barden and experimental filmmaker Susann Maria Hempel introduce their own works at this evening performance, featuring the Subharchord. Frederic Rzewski's Zoologischer Garten, a tape composition that the former guest of the Ford Foundation composed in East Berlin in the 1960s, serves as musical counterplay.
