An extraordinary program of extraordinary art with extraordinary sound: this weekend (25–27.11.2022) a very special festival is taking place at Monom, the studio and listening space located at the Funkhaus complex. Running for three days, Spatial Festival combines sound, art, music and technology. Alongside live concerts by Berlin-based artists like Tobias Freund, William Russel and Robert Henke, the line-up features sound installations by international artists. Among them is the world premiere of Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith, who will present their joint album “The Perfect Vision” (released tomorrow, 25.11). But this is by no means the only world-class name: the program also features James Blake, Suzanne Ciani, Willem Dafoe, Alex Ebert, Charlotte Gainsbourg…the list goes on and on. Then there are the surprise acts, such as a sound installation by Paul B. Preciado, who is usually associated with philosophy and queer theory. The performances are reproduced using 4D sound, a spatial sound system consisting of 48 omnidirectional loudspeakers and nine subwoofers. The result is an immersive sound experience that makes you feel, fantasize, interact and maybe even get lost – in a good way, of course…
