a little bit of context is always endearingly charming to narrate (or not). so, here I go. not long ago -or should I say a while ago or years ago- while I was having a video call on whatsapp to both
@abraham_parker_ &
@big__hands , the idea of putting an event came along which I found instantly brilliant and feasible. however, mentally, I wasn’t quite eager or fully motivated to curate any event until everything started to click click- and seriously, like a call- with “The Journey”, a monthly show at
@dublab.cat . suddenly the idea of curating an event emerged, and like a domino effect, my former
@honestjons colleagues & friends
@big__hands &
@abraham_parker_ , aka OttomaniParker came to mind in order to join me for the upcoming event at
@shai.space on the 21st of March, from the 20 till 22 inna London.
Ottomani Parker
@ottomaniparker is a collision of jazz and dub techno. Their shows and records have live dubbing at the core, blending and warping the saxophones of Izz Karpel
@izanaturalskinscare and Buster Woodruff-Bryant
@busterwoodruffbryant , Bint Mbareh’s voice
@bintmbareh , Phoebe Coco’s voice, keyboards and miscellaneous percussions
@phoebe.coco , Hayato Takahashi’s keys and synths, and Abraham Parker’s trumpet At the controls is big_hands (Andrea Ottomani), who drops a few samples and percussive elements into the pot, and weaves it all together. Having found a home on labels such as Trule, Baroque Sunburst, Marionette, Teeth and Blank Mind, the group’s anarchic line up is rarely often morphs into different formations, with different musicians (from UK jazz pioneer Alabaster De Plume to groundbreaking techno producers Soreab
@d.soreab and Andrea Campisi) often getting in on the act. Expect a heavy dub current at all times.

Through live performances, AV works, and DJ sets, the experience shifts between concert, installation, and durational formats.Born from our Berlin-based series, Sanctum of Sound extends the focus on deep listening into an unbroken format that blurs distinctions between day and night, rest and movement, audience and performer. There is no fixed schedule; instead, we invite an open flow, allowing you to navigate the experience at your own pace.Curated by @mahallaberlin, @mxj_000 & @nathaliapetkova“We created Sanctum of Sound as a urbanretreat space that is fulled with sacred music. We invite you to shut up and listen. By listening you get quiet. In this inner quietness you may rest and find some peace.”Music:Slide 1: Bohren & Der Club of GoreSlide 2: First Body#ambientmusic #electronicmusic #experimental #berlinevents#deeplistening](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6739553613154549684673_0_71d2cf76bfed14b5a3a63c3fb52ef398.jpg?o=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&h=e01a0ddecbe455646b5dbff18fc1ac07)
