As a counter-balance to our increasingly dysfunctional reality and disingenuous information environment, listening to the intricate processes of the world may alter the way we live and introduce new directions and possibilities. Tuning out: A 1 hour @recordat_ listening session on @radioalhara today at 20:00 Bethlehem time. As part of 72-hour program on Radio Alhara protesting against the annexation of the West Bank by the Israeli occupation. recordat:listens *Binaural mixes included.

no one is free, until everyone is free. My contribution & @nicolasjaar ‘s selections as part of the Sonic Liberation Front are now on @recordat_ ‘s soundcloud page. Listen, share and raise awareness to the ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people. If we go silent now, it may take generations for another chance for freedom to arise. againstapartheid.com musiciansforpalestine.com

Sound as Space Digital Environments Mini Project Presentations in Studio 2. @ue.germany   Our 2nd semester students explore a new experimental setup for a collective VR experience, combining VR headsets with a shared spatial sound environment in the room instead of individual headphones.   Lecturers: @baselnaouri & @sohrab_sam @timelab.slowfuture #newmediadesign #vr #spatialsound #digitalenvironments

Moments from From All Sides: Spatial Sound Forum 2026 — a collaboration with @Catalyst.berlin shaped by shared listening, immersive audio and spatial media experiences. Set within the remarkable Saal 4 at @funkhaus.berlin , we had the chance to create a site-specific hybrid spatial audio system, where we conducted a workshop exploring different spatial approaches and listening perspectives, and hosted 16 intricate Live & Fixed Media performances. Basel (@baselnaouri ) and Andrew (@immersedinsound ) also joined the panel Beyond Immersion: Spatial Sound as Practice, bringing the conversation back to spatial sound as something shaped through artistic decisions as much as technical ones. It was a pleasure to collaborate and to be part of a context that brings people together around spatial sound and listening in such an open and thoughtful way. We aim to continue shaping experiences like this to grow and strengthen the community. A big thank you to Hannah Deans, Georg Hilmarsson, and all the Catalyst students and volunteers who made it happen.

This has been a very special 3 weeks. @baselnaouri and I have been curating for three years together, bootstrapping our way to build @manifest.io.berlin and other events. Being selected by @karnekunst to curate under the topic of "Cartographies of Displacement" has been the first time we've received a grant to create an exhibition. As part of our commitment to support artists, we're very grateful for this opportunity 🙏 In our exhibition "Dreams That Wake" we've been exploring the idea of how displacement affects the subconscious. Together with @multicolormarta , Basel and the @timelab.slowfuture team with @ee.vahnn designed and installed the works at the charming @bardo_projektraum gallery. They collaborated with the artists to find new modes of engagement and building a cohesive scenography. We're really happy to delve further into the works of @mey.seifan , @slowfuture_studio , @lisa.bogachova , and @ta.la.fa . We've also been able to host events with the artists, and even a dream session with @chaskawisdom which was a new experience for us as curators as well, and one I will cherish. It's not over yet. Please join us for the last few days of our wee exhibition 🫶 Dreams that wake runs till March 14, 14hr-19hr. Our finissage on Mar 14th will also host performances. Donations are very much appreciated for us to dedicate more resources towards the artists and team. We have a zine available as well, which we hope you take home with you as a memory of this dreamy exhibition ❤️ See you soon! 💫 #kunstausstellung #newmedia #berlinevent

To mark the closing of the Dreams that Wake exhibition we are joined by Basel Naouri (@baselnaouri ) and Mohammad Abdallah (@thereal.abdulla ), in an intimate evening of solo performances and listening sessions. 👉 Limited capacity - suggested donation: 15eur 🗓️ 14 March 🕕 Doors open 18:00 for performances 📍Bardo Projektraum, 10247 Berlin . . . 💫 Listening session with Basel Naouri Sonic Hinterlands: Tides of Crossing unfolds along the shores of the Red Sea, where desert winds meet shifting tides and histories of passage linger in the air. Using samples, field recordings, and live capturing of textures, Naouri constructs an immersive sonic terrain where fragments of sound drift, collide, and transform. . . . 💫 Acoustic live with Mohammad Abdallah Jordan raised Palestinian singer, songwriter, and bassist Mohammad Abdallah is best known as the co-founder and frontman of El Morabba3, one of the most influential bands in the Arab independent music scene. Since launching the project in 2009, he has helped shape a groundbreaking sound that blends indie rock, post-rock, and electronic elements with socially charged Arabic lyrics. A voice for a generation seeking truth and connection. Abdallah makes his first solo performance at the finissage. An acoustic live performance not to be missed. . . . #berlinevents #berlinartists #listentothis
