UN:HEARD SOUNDS OF INDUSTRY Making the “unheard” tangible in Chemnitz 16.08.2024
As Chemnitz will be European Capital of Culture in 2025, it invites people to take a fresh and different new look at the city and its region under the motto “C the Unseen”. Along these lines, we want to make the “unheard” tangible this summer: On Friday, August 16, 2024, we are focusing on the topic of industrial culture with UN:HEARD SOUNDS OF INDUSTRY at the Chemnitz Industrial Museum. We are thrilled to highlight the traces of the former industrial stronghold of Chemnitz - where iron casting, mechanical engineering and the textile industry once shaped people's lives - can still be felt, and we want to make them audible again!
In the afternoon between 4 and 6.30 pm, we are offering 1:1 CONCERTS - the simplest, but at the same time most intensive concert format: 1 musician meets 1 listener for 10 minutes of music. The free concerts take place in unusual locations in front of and behind the scenes of museum operations: in the workshops, in the depot, between the machines in the exhibition space, in the museum education laboratory. The musical “rendez-vous” is designed as a surprise for both sides. Whether, for example, a bassoonist from the Robert Schumann Philharmonic Orchestra plays a Telemann sonata or a singer from one of Chemnitz's many bands presents her latest song - the artist and instrument are not revealed at the beginning. The format allows for a very personal concert at eye level and a very intense resonance experience for both sides. Each listener is personally welcomed and emotionally accompanied by a host. Professional musicians from the fields of classical music, jazz and rock/pop from the Robert Schumann Philharmonic Orchestra network, the Chemnitzer Jazzclub e.V. and the Bandbüro Chemnitz, among others, will perform. The concerts can be booked individually via this website from August 1, 2024. If you would already like to reserve your spot on the waiting list. please write to chemnitz@1to1concerts.de
The artist Jonas Urbat (SoundWERK-Productions) will be playing a sound performance with the exhibits of the Industrial Museum in the evening at 7 pm. He will compose and improvise never-before-heard pieces of music from the live sounds of sounding machines and objects. Whether steam engine or loom - in a quartet of man, machine, tuba and electronics, we embark on an emotional journey through the character and history of the objects. The transitions between the objects are connected by acoustic sound journeys from numerous other sounds in the museum.
In the run-up to this sound performance on Saturday, July 27, 2024 from 2 to 4 p.m., various sounds will be sought out, tried out and recorded in the museum on an acoustic journey of discovery with Jonas Urbat together with museum guests and Chemnitz citizens. These “noises” and soundscapes will become an integral part of the live sound performance on August 16 and Jonas will give an insight into the creative process.
