Ambient Jungle Projekt

Garçon Taupe - Gom

We are in the first light of a foggy summer morning in Porsac'h creek.
A seagull just worn in the exact same place as minutes before.
Taken aback from seeing her footprints in sand, she was thinking :
"Was it me ?"
Nouminouw is feeding us with a seaweed shot of thoughts for this 34th Feng Shit. An exercise of deeper reflexions with naïve eyes, floating behind naturalistic ambient, trad experimental & cosmic world music.
hhhhhhhhhmmmmm.... (iodized breathe)

«Music is a form of world building. I love to develop sonic characters and set them into fictional ecosystems with unique textures, acoustics and atmospheres. Each song forms a different landscape, through which a vocal character guides us and tries to tell us its stories.» — @ludwigberger

Ludwig Berger’s ‘fictional’ debut album «Garden Ediacara» unfolds as a musical eco-fiction, guiding listeners through a speculative ecosystem with synthesized vocals. Infused with storytelling techniques from sci-fi and fantasy, the album intertwines melodic songwriting with electroacoustic sound design. Inspired by hydrofeminism and eco-fiction novels, such as «A Door Into Ocean» by Joan Slonczewski, the album delves into the geological period of Ediacara around 600 million years ago — an era so remote it resonates as a glimpse into a possible future. The Ediacaran period was characterised by a peaceful and thriving ecosystem inhabited by soft-bodied creatures without eyes and bones, which were completely wiped out through the appearance of a new species. «Garden of Ediacara» alludes to this period, celebrating both the pleasures of biodiversity as well as mourning its inevitable loss. The narrative unfolds as an exploration of growth and interconnection in the shadow of a coming extinction. The track titles, written by Daisy Lafarge, reveal themselves as a cohesive poem and contribute to the album’s narrative.

Informed by his practice of field recording that focusses on intimate encounters with plants, animals and geological phenomena, as well as his studies in electroacoustic composition, Berger expands his palette for his debut in ‘fictional’ music. The album prominently features a post-human, non-binary death metal voice synthesizer, physical modeling instruments, and microscopic field recordings of plants, insects, as well as aquatic and geological life. With impressionistic strokes, Ludwig Berger crafts vibrant worlds using glassy timbres and more-than-human voices, guiding listeners through emotionally ambiguous terrain, seamlessly oscillating between moments of intimacy and irritation, melancholy and playfulness.

Ludwig Berger is a landscape sound artist, educator and musician. In his compositions, installations and performances, he enables intimate and playful sonic encounters with plants, animals, buildings and geological entities. He is founder and curator of the label Vertical Music, which releases field recordings and experimental music. Berger holds degrees in electroacoustic composition, as well as musicology, art history and literature. As a sound researcher and teacher at the Institute for Landscape Architecture at ETH Zurich from 2015-2022, he studied the sonic dimension of Japanese gardens, alpine glaciers and urban landscapes, which among other things led to the release of the acclaimed album trilogy ‘Melting Landscapes’, ‘Dammed Landscapes’ and ‘Buried Landscapes’.



ALBUM TRACKLIST
1. what seed quests for a coralline mud slump
2. where the body’s distant arrivals 
3. bake airwaves into symbols? 
4. like aurochs who fraternised with syntax of the riverbed
5. we stop short, frothy, outdoing the grass
6. rake a song-gush from the outcrop
7. or the noun of naïve particles
8. leeching off the glow-work of organ rooms  
9. we go candied in the marrow
10. grow dream-bark, a tree

Pre-recorded talk by Fleur Ramsay followed by discussion with AM Kanngieser, Mere Nailatikau, and KMRU. Moderated by Anita Jóri.

An expert in indigenous rights and international environmental law, Fleur Ramsay will give a pre-recorded input on the current situation of peoples and places of the Pacific, giving context to the installation »Oceanic Refractions.« after which the artists AM Kanngieser, Mere Nailatikau, and KMRU will speak about their installation further with the scholar Anita Jóri, touching among other on how the work was conceptualised and created, on the Pacific context in which it is grounded, as well as on the techniques and ethics of working with testimony and field recordings.

»Oceanic Refractions« was co-produced by CTM Festival and transmediale with funding by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds (German Capital Culture Fonds), Creative Australia and with support from the European Commission.

CTM 2024: Listening in Oceania

This month, @juuunus joined the journey, departing from the comforting melancholy notes that closed my part, into serene strings, crystal choral voices, and energetic distorted chord progressions, flawlessly developing into rhythmic and jesterly, trippy percussive gestures.
