Open Haus Yves Klein Monotone Silence Symphony

(Transmissions)
Soundwalk Collective
Sunday 14:00
(Listening Experience)

Yves Klein’s preeminent musical gesture is a single chord that erupts into the room and is sustained by an orchestra for 20 minutes. As suddenly as it begins, the sound ends, and is immediately mirrored by an equally oceanic 20 minutes of silence. The Monotone Silence Symphony is the consummation of Klein’s desire to have audiences “bathe in a cosmic sensibility.”

Anri Sala Ravel Ravel Revisited Redux

(Transmissions)
Soundwalk Collective
Sunday 18:00
(Listening Experience and Conversation)

In Ravel Ravel Revisited Redux, time comes unstitched, expanding and contracting space around itself. Anri Sala’s masterful reconstruction of Concerto for the Left Hand in D Major by Maurice Ravel finds new dimensions in the semi-anechoic chamber of Reethaus, making a very particular kind of music out of two absences: the absence of a right hand and the absence of an echo. Following the playing of the work as part of the “Transmissions” series curated by Soundwalk Collective and an intermission, Anri Sala will be in conversation with Stephan Crasneanscki of Soundwalk Collective, after which Ravel Ravel Revisited Redux will be played again.

Open HausThe Gyuto Monks Tibetan Tantric Choir

(Transmissions)
Soundwalk Collective
Sunday 14:00
(Listening Experience)

“They will rattle your bones”, Mickey Hart said about the Gyuto Monks Tibetan Tantric Choir. No small praise coming from the drummer of the Grateful Dead. To launch our 2024 program at the Reethaus, Soundwalk Collective presents Hart’s 1986 recording of the choir, part of the Gyuto Order originating in Tibet in the 15th century. Their chanting was never heard outside the context of their temples until after the Chinese annexation of Tibet in 1959, when the order fled to India. At that point, their prayers became political, expressive of the Tibetan resistance, and a spiritual rallying cry for repressed peoples. “Close your eyes, leave behind your prejudices,” Hart said, “After an hour of their sound, you’ll be different, cleaner, lighter.”

Crystal Winds Live

Saturday 18:00
(Performance)

As part of our exploration into traditional and sacred musical forms, the Reethaus welcomes Crystal Winds, a duo playing Carnatic music, one of two Indian classical music genres that evolved from ancient Hindu texts and traditions, particularly the Samaveda. The duo consists of Loup Barrow, one of the few musicians to play the Cristal Baschet, a chromatically tuned instrument invented in 1953, and a young virtuoso named Flute J. A. Jayant on the bansuri flute, an instrument dating back to the Vedic period. The glass rods of the Cristal Baschet are played with the fingertips to produce acoustic waves that comix with the sounds of the bansuri flute as the duo follows the strict rules of Carnatic music, including the rhythmic tala system.

Lyra Pramuk Live

(Transmissions)
Soundwalk Collective
Sunday 18:00
(Performance)

As part of Soundwalk Collective's "Transmissions" series, Lyra Pramuk performs a site-specific, neo-psychedelic curing ritual: auratic, emotional and sensual. Her sounds are built from liquified vocals and mystical electronics, offering transcendental qualities that exceed the pure listening-experience. Pramuk’s take on ancient folk music and spirituality is driven by the desire to explore the healing potentials of music. She fuses classical vocalism, pop sensibilities, performance practices and contemporary club culture, investigating the relation between technology and humanity and a post-human, non-binary understanding of life. Light food and drinks will be served over the course of the evening. The performance will be followed by moderated conversation with Lyra Pramuk and musical collaborator and synth virtuoso Caterina Barbieri.
