This listening session with eli follows up on his session at migas in November, a field guide to Pauline Oliveros & Deep Listening. This time, eli invites us to listen to Kali Malone’s immersive 2023 release Does Spring Hide Its Joy that bids us to look forward to the warm promise of spring — with embracing, electroacoustic drones recorded by Malone, Lucy Railton, and Stephen O’Malley at MONOM and the Berlin Funkhaus. The session will be a bit longer and shared in comfortable silence.

Ken Okuda treats us to a soulful, jazzy, broken and lush night.

tell me what you know about death plays an abstract set of experimental, ambient, musique concrete and beats.

We listen to the album together in silence.

The session begins on time.

Arriving a bit late? No worries, just come in quietly to preserve the listening atmosphere. We can’t wait to see you!

Please note: we do not take reservations.

Thenorthkids come with Duns frequency.

João Comazzi plays new age, fusion jazz, MPB (música popular brasileira), balearic slow and experimental for us.

For the sixth session of our series on poetry and sound, curator and co-host Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein invites Mátyás Dunajcsik for an evening of jazz and poetry in dialogue with John Coltrane’s transcendental record “A Love Supreme” (1964).

The album has an ever-present urgency that resounds from the Civil Rights era and Black Arts Movement through our polyglottal polyphonic present. Alongside the record, Mátyás will read in English from his book “Verlorene Gedichte”, and Pia will read from “Dear John, Dear Coltrane” by Michael S. Harper (1970) and Nick Cave’s “That’s What Jazz is To Me” (2005). We will close with a recording of Jayne Cortez’s “How Long Has Trane Been Gone” (1969) and a discussion on the legacy of Coltrane on poetry and jazz.

Mátyás Dunajcsik is a Berlin based multilingual queer punk poet and performer, using English and German since he left his native Hungary a decade ago. His essay “PUNK” was published in 2024 by Verlagshaus Berlin in the Edition Poeticon series. His first poetry book written in German, “Verlorene Gedichte,” was published by Parasitenpresse in 2023. He is the recipient of numerous literature stipends, most recently from the German Literature Fund.

Pia Chakraverti-Würthwein is a curator and writer based in Berlin. She previously worked at Esther Schipper as an Artist Liaison, and before that was a freelance curator on projects with Fondazione Prada, Slavs and Tatars, and SAVVY Contemporary, among others.
