WITH THE OPENING OF MONOM AT THE HISTORIC TELEVISION ON DECEMBER 1ST 2017, BERLIN GAINS AT EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE VENUE AND STATE OF THE ART SPATIAL SOUND STUDIO.

At the heart of MONOM is the 4DSOUND system. 4DSOUND is a creative and technical collective exploring spatial sound as a medium, collaborating with over 100 artists during a long period of research, experimentation and public performance. This one of a kind instrument immerses up to 400 people inside 48 omnidirectional speakers suspended throughout the venue, extending to 9 powerful subs submerged beneath acoustically transparent floor.


Ale Hop presents 'OCEANIC' in 4DSOUND 

Berlin-based artist, researcher and experimental instrumentist from Peru, Ale Hop has been to artist-in-residence at MONOM, Berlin's Center for Spatial Sound, during the month of August 2019, to develop a first edition of Radical Sounds Latin America. The resulting piece OCEANIC presents us with an immersive four-dimensional environment evoking complex sound metaphors and intimations between past memories and future reconfigurations. Exploring with the possibilities of the 4DSOUND spatial sound system, that allows the production of sound holograms, the artist creates a morphological interplay of evocative sound memories that are related to the South American history and geography. To make a live performance of the artist uses fragments of field recordings and a complex repertoire of extended techniques for electric guitar and real-time sampling devices; that always come back to the sound motif that mimics the oceanic wave movement, as if we were already sunk in its depths.

Lucrecia Dalt

Born in Pereira, Colombia in 1980, and now based in Berlin, Germany, LUCRECIA DALT has seen her profile as a musician, sound artist and performer develop into high international regard. Her recorded albums - numbering seven in total since 2005 debut - encompassing the dual worlds of avant-garde and contemporary electronics, drawing in the background as a civil engineer as well as music and philosophy from across the world. Dalt's most recent album - acclaimed anticlines, released May 2018 through New York's RVNG Intl. - which was created from synthesis, voice, vocoding and feedback among other musical techniques. It has been described as a marvelous exploration of mercurial ambient music. As a performer, Dalt's philosophical metaphor about creating a complex, haunting narrative, embodying many artistic disciplines with the thought and contextual detail that goes into her work; deeply framed messages are bound together with abstract jagged music, rigid sound design and haunting, poetic vocals, to create a richly layered performance. It is at first felt a bit convoluted, but deep inside the music and beyond the lyrical narrative read a profound piece of insular art.

Born in Argentina, Tatiana Hueman's musical career started playing trumpet and drums with the free improvisation band Ricarda Cometa around 2009.
