BLAUES RAUSCHEN 2025: Tag 5 mit Yamila, MahaVoice und Hany Tea x Emma Lo

In the organizer's words:

The works of the three musicians revolve around the question of how sound can function as an archive - be it as a carrier of cultural identity, as a means of digital deconstruction or as a bridge between past and present. In a mixture of electro-acoustic experiments, transcultural references and documentary sound practices, a multi-layered examination of memory, resistance and sonic hybridity emerges.

The Argentinian musician Yamila combines baroque harmonies, Spanish folklore and digital noise; she does not smooth the edges, but rather creates her pieces in a strikingly confrontational manner. MahaVoice from Iran have been collaborating for ten years, working on a symbiosis between the oscillating sound waves of MahaVoice's self-built synthesizers and the floating resonance of Hamzeh's sitar. Hany Tea, from the Asian diaspora, addresses origin and identity as an interdisciplinary artist and activist. She produces narrative pieces from field recordings and oral history, interweaving personal and collective stories. Emma Lo is a writer, researcher and sound artist with a focus on embodied archives and collective sonic expressions. Together, Hany and Emma founded Spätifunk Berlin and are part of the Mutating Kinship Lab - a platform that explores sound as social practice and collective memory.
