SHORT INFO

The ohrenhoch Sundays

are an event series on 52 Sundays per year.

'ohrenhoch, the Noise Shop', Berlin's first sound gallery, exists since 2008 and presents the contemporary creative work of Electronic resp. Acousmatic Music.

Using its special loudspeaker installation, 'ohrenhoch' presents compositions by renowned sound artists, from home and abroad, every Sunday throughout the whole year. These are works of electroacoustic music, acousmatic music, soundscapes, audio plays or field recordings -  mostly premieres or first performances, specially created for ohrenhoch.

Each composition may be heard on each of two consecutive Sundays, continuously from 2 PM until 9 PM, played back as a loop by a CD- or mp3-Player.

It can also occur, that two different works of an artist are presented, one on each of two Sundays.

Listeners may enter 'ohrenhoch, the Noise Shop' anytime after 2 PM on Sundays without having to miss a beginning.  The ohrenhoch-concept is in particular that the sounds can freely develop in their complexity within the space, there is effectively no beginning or end.

Occasionally there are events, presentations or exhibitions which run from Friday until Sunday in 'ohrenhoch, the Noise Shop'.

In 'ohrenhoch', scores, diagrams, notes and objects may also be exhibited together with the presented work.

'ohrenhoch' also presents sound- and video-installations by artists who emphasize the interconnection between image and sound, sound and image in different ways with their content and expression.

'ohrenhoch' is also a platform for interdisciplinary art and new media.

In addition, 'ohrenhoch' offers a platform for live performances. Prerequisite is that the necessary live electronic material must fit into a handbag (30 x 30 x 10 cm). "Live-Acts" take place at irregular intervals at ohrenhoch. These are special events:

• The performers assemble an equipment which will fit into a handbag.
• The Live-Acts take place either in the Sound Gallery or in the ohrenhoch basement.
• The ohrenhoch rooms are small, pre-registration for the Live-Acts is recommended.
  
  

During the ohrenhoch-Sundays, a selection of non-alcoholic drinks, including the fresh special ohrenhoch tea is offered at the little bar.

ohrenhoch's visitors, adults as well as children, appreciate the singularity of immerging in an auditory world in an unforced atmosphere.
