What happens when the everyday becomes raw material? When field recordings, weather sounds, city noise, and the resonances of our buildings are no longer mere background, but material for imagined soundscapes? Tonight's programme explores the thresholds between inner and outer world, between what surrounds us and what we shape from it. Amid an increasingly digital world, the works presented this evening insist on a sensory reconnection with concrete space: Teresa Carrasco weaves natural materials, cello, and whispered poetry into a sonic portrait of Lummellundagrottan, a limestone cave on the Swedish island of Gotland. Katharina Rosenberger's blur makes nocturnal cities shimmer — like light reflections on wet asphalt. In his new work, Micha Seidenberg probes the boundary between interior and exterior: where does the body end, where does space begin? Sound becomes a membrane between the two. This evening does not ask how art represents reality, but how it creates new realities. It sets a concrete sensuality against digital transience — and invites us to listen more carefully: to what so often remains hidden in the everyday.
