«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

Dans le cycle « art, économie et réalisme capitaliste », l’écrivaine Sandra Lucbert questionne la langue du néolibéralisme ou ce que le néolibéralisme fait au langage.

L'écrivaine donne un panorama sur la question littérature et politique, plus précisément littérature et capitalisme qui est délaissé et repris par seulement deux auteurs malgré la radicalisation du capitalisme. 

Les trois derniers livres de Sandra Lucbert portent sur l’appareil d’enrôlement discursif, normatif et pulsionnel du capitalisme financiarisé. La Toile reprend les codes du roman épistolaire pour mettre au jour la façon dont le numérique massifié produit une organisation politique et économique par branchement direct sur les corps. Personne ne sort les Fusils et Le Ministère des contes publics relèvent davantage d’une littérature d’intervention : le premier à partir du procès France Télécom, le second prenant appui sur un objet médiatique, une émission spéciale consacrée à la dette publique. Chacune à leur manière, ces formes hybrides se proposent de démonter les mécaniques de ratification langagière par lesquelles les structures de la finance dérèglementée démolissent tout un ordre social.

La conférence est proposée par le master Arts plastiques de l'université Paris 8, parcours écologie des arts et des médias et  l’équipe de recherche TEAMeD.Avec le soutien d’ArTeC dans le cadre de l’appel MIP, modules innovants pédagogiques et le laboratoire de recherche AIAC (Arts des images et art contemporain) de l’université Paris 8.

sempre me pego pensando, garota
se eu te entreguei o melhor que existia em mim

eu só queria entender o motivo
e as causas de todas as coisas ter acabado assim

tanto faz se voce nao ta comigo
ja nem quero mais nem ser seu amigo

lembrar do passado não da mais pra mim
to tomando comprimidos pra ver se eu boto um fim

sempre me pego pensando, garota
se eu te entreguei o melhor que existia em mim
eu só queria entender o motivo
e as causas de todas as coisas ter acabado assim (2x)
