On November 24, the Reethaus presents a new work by Soneiro Collective from MONOM’s catalog. Attune is a richly orchestrated tone poem in which the listener is submerged in a soundscape teeming with portals. Soneiro Collective’s roots in cultural research allow it to combine two canons of sonic tech with very different etiologies: the South American technologies of rattle, drum, and flute — for millennia employed to entrain consciousness — and the avant-garde practice of spatial sound engineering as crafted at MONOM.
The three movements of Attune are intended to provide a scaffolding for three psychic operations: first, the achievement of coherence with the world as a living being; second, the grasping of a deep root within individual consciousness; and third, a vast expansion outwards to participate in a dream of the future in which everything is included. The architecture of the Reethaus becomes one more ceremonial device supporting these fluxes.
In Attune, sound is a landscape you can enter. Composed around an active altar, its scenes contain the timeless experience of the human body in the world: shells being blown like horns off the side of a mountain, people gathering around the light of a fire to raise voice.
Composed and spatialized in 4DSOUND at MONOM studios by Soneiro Collective (Temple Haze and Alisa Reimer), Attune includes performances by Bison Rouge, Kaio Moraes, Laura Sequoia, Isadora Mulvey and Andy Aquarius.
