 Sound of X

How can we reconnect with the spaces we live in, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced people all over the world into isolation?

The artists of Sound of X propose answers: using sounds, noises, and acoustics as the basis for their urban re-imaginations, they have explored their sonic environment. The resulting videosoundscapes offer a unique experience of our cities. 

Nine videos from Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand mark the start of Sound of X, now to be seen and heard on the project website.

Current music from Germany
 Popcast in April

Rock, pop, hiphop, electro: at the beginning of every month we shine our search beacon into the nation’s studios and clubs from Kiel up north to Weilheim way down south. Together with Zündfunk, Bavarian Radio’s scene magazine, we showcase the latest music by riveting off-the-charts bands. Pop made in Germany can also be downloaded here.

 Bidyoke

Filipina artist Eisa Jocson’s latest project Bidyoke (derived from Spanish Pasqua for Easter and Karaoke), includes the performance-video Pasyoke by The Filipina Superwoman Band, which unravels as an expansion of her body of work around notions of the Filipino singing culture as a state-supported export, mimicry in the music industry, and Snow White and Superwoman as archetypes.

The work was commissioned by the Goethe-Institute in the United Arab Emirates.
