Three Perspectives on the Mountain Landscape
Even though all three works unfold at roughly the same altitude they open up radically different ways of listening to a mountain

For our next Sonic Tuesday we will listen together to the multichannel work “Playground N” by the Sono-Choreographic Collective (Kerstin Ergenzinger, Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari and Kiran Kumar).

Joint listening session will explore the theme »Audible Cosmos«, presenting multichannel works derived from sonification of astrophysical data and models.

Deep Listening in Multichannel: Pauline Oliveros

In autumn and winter 2024/25, the KoosMic permanent listening station was established on the island of Koos near Greifswald, in a coastal peatland area managed by the Michael Succow Foundation and scientifically monitored by the Greifswald Mire Centre. The station was initiated by Udo Noll and set up together with students from the Department of Acoustic Ecologies and Sound Studies, Bauhaus University Weimar under the professorship of Kerstin Ergenzinger.

Sonic Ecologies is a sonic and performative platform presenting a collaborative concert that investigates the ecological, generative, and disruptive dimensions of listening. In the interplay between sound, body, and environment unfolds a speculative rehearsal for more attuned modes of being: listening as a practice of transformation, negotiation, and care. How many voices can we truly attend to at once? What new patterns emerge when we shift how—and with what—we listen?

At the end of the semester we are exhibiting 45 sound artistic positions of students at the whole sound department of Bauhaus University. The exhibition starts with a vernissage on 10th of July 2025 in front of Marienstraße 5 in Weimar. The exhibition spans different spaces and formats – from immersive multi-channel compositions, sound sculptures and reflective listening stations to interventions in public spaces and radio broadcasts.

Flow Follows Concrete Follows Flow, a sound piece for public space unfolding as a walk across Weimar. Available via the Echoes.app - Plattform.
Through sound maps, graphic notations, installations, and subtle interventions, we explored how the city flows, reflects, and responds to presence.
We invite you to walk with us, following Weimar’s threads of water—along narrow lines between the visible and the hidden, the infrastructural and the perceptual. Pull the thread. Leave a trace.

In the third “Sonic Talk” of the Semester on 24th of June, Kathy Kennedy will present her work with singers and radio. These works feature improvisation, vocal exploration and team building.
