A piece performed while falling asleep at the piano.
For Zabo Chabiland, live performance induces an almost hypnotic state. Narcolepsy is not something she normally suffers from, until she sits at a piano. Her ambition has never been to play the instrument, rather to ride it, surfing the waves of sound. By shifting the pressure of her elbows along the keyboard, a musical dream can be heard playing in the distance, somewhere deep in her imagination. When she finally wakes up the piece is over, and as with waking from any long nap, she feels thoroughly relaxed, well-rested, squinting from the light, wondering what it was she just dreamt.

What the audience makes of it is much like what a bunch of strangers would experience gathered around a bed to watch someone sleep, only to hear the curious music of the subconscious mind coming from under a pillow. And what sort of music would that be? A gently flowing reverie? Or the screams of your worst nightmare. Ken Shakin

Existential Slap
An evening curated by Mina Büker
Invited by Stefan Höppe

The moment where all expectations, foreshadowings of the future and preconceptions of past breaks down by an external force.

With this exhibition students from UDK, international and local artists come together to show works of performance, paintings, music and more. All artist will share their way of capturing and creating a moment by being in the now. No matter how exhilarating, uncomfortable, static or in pain the moment can be, it is possible to find the freedom to be in it; The freedom of stripping oneself from worries of future and weight of past to attain the power to handle existential slaps.

I had a Brazilian nightmare on my new keyboard the night before the sinister  elections.

BRAZILAN NIGHTMARE / FIFTYPERCENT FASHION SHOW / SAMEHEADS, BERLIN.

Piano guts recorded through a plastic tube.

PIANO TUBE

DDR DPRK - TRAGHEIT

All along the Cold War, East Germany maintained diplomatic relations with North Korea, while West Germany maintained diplomatic relations with South Korea. Therefore, a number of political and cultural parallels can be made can be made between the DDR and North Korea .
For this piece I have collected audio samples from the DDR and the DPRK, including recordings from the loud speakers wars over the Berlin Wall and the DMZ, Radar sounds, morse voice generators and music as a means of propaganda. I perform while falling asleep on the prepared keyboard, the weight of my elbows randomly triggers the samples while I am in a total state of inertia.

Mastering: Benjamin Molina
