🔊 Nikolas Brummer - wordy The latest contribution is by Berlin-based artist and live programmer Nikolas Brummer, diving into a particular case of younger music history. “wordy“ is a lecture performance based on Tom Tom Club’s hit-single “Wordy Rappinghood,” discussing cross-cultural reference, dialectics of appropriation, and the necessity of play. Live-recorded at @giri.berlino on October 25, 2024. Pictures by @leadventure__

📜 GOLIN: SERPENTINE ROOMS, HIGHWAYS, FEELINGS „sensor“ marks a departure from the glitchy J-pop and deconstructed club appeal that once defined the sound of Rin Suemitsu aka Golin @ringo_noko . Embracing cinematic ambient scores, playfully stacked vocal arrangements and organic instrumentation, the album weaves a protean journey between the American Midwest and rural Japan. Through ballads, lullabies, as well as sonic and text-based experiments, she follows an artistic objective that favors atmospheric calmness over the high-energy movement and frenetic performativity which materialized her previous releases on stage. One spring day in Berlin, she meets Nikolas Brummer for a conversation. Seated on a black leather couch in a barren, run-down office space, they talk about her latest project—drifting between dimensions of nostalgia, Golin’s shape-shifting persona, and music’s capacity to render narrative space through sound.

my 2022 liminal experience of physical ends and emotional highs: entitled „sync“, the 24h durational piece involved the recording and live-mixing of visitor‘s heartbeats in the main hall of @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart , discussing the heartbeat as the one assurance of permanence we embody. honestly my personal highlight of this year, debuting as a curatorial assistant and working alongside @skchris_ on this beautiful project with @emogirl4 and @_danielblumberg_ . thanks to all who made it and thanks to the stunning team and everyone who supported xxxxxx __ Artists: Lydia Ourahmane, Daniel Blumberg Curator: Sofie Krogh Christensen Curatorial Assistant: Nikolas Brummer Sound Technicians: James Dunn, Paolo Combes, Enrika Myskovskaja Head of Production: Claire Spilker Technical Management: Wilken Schade Press and Marketing: Anna Falck-Ytter, Marie Kube Text: Sofie Krogh Christensen, Lydia Ourahmane Proofreading and Translation: Sylee Gore, Lutz Breitinger Trainee: Lara Scherrieble Interns: Fangrong Tian, Janika Jähnisch, Luisa Schmoock with thanks to Schertler Audio. install photos by Frank Sperling
