PATTERNS OF NOSTALGIA AND SONIC MEMORY
Concert|Chikiss

ACUD Club, Berlin
- Price 5 €
In a time marked by separation and fear, listening becomes an essential act—connecting diverse realities and transmitting emotions on a deeply embodied and universal level beyond words. Existential lyricism intertwines with haunting cinematic soundscapes and field recordings, which capture and preserve places and moments, offering sonic escapes and spaces for reflection about belonging and melancholia. Sampling acts as sonic archaeology, enabling artistic research in pursuit of home and archiving feelings of belonging.
Through site-specific interventions, installations, experimental sounds, multimedia practices, DIY approaches, synth-pop, electroacoustic textures, and minimalist electronics, the artists of this evening explore sound as a material deeply connected to space, place, memory, and identity.
Artist
Chikiss
Chikiss is a Belarusian-born singer, composer and producer. Embracing music as an ongoing artistic journey, she has evolved from her roots in post-punk and experimental rock to a distinctive sound that blends synth-pop, minimalist electronics, and electro-acoustic textures – often enriched with noir-jazz undertones. Her work draws inspiration from Soviet cinematic and pop experiments, as well as the haunting atmospheres of David Lynch soundtracks, all interwoven with powerful and existential lyricism. Chikiss has released numerous albums and collaborated with artists including Dorit Chrysler, Eva Geist, Jaakko Eino Kalevi, Die Wilde Jagd, Plattenbau and many more. Her signature use of unique samples and a DIY approach to music production position her as a standout voice in the contemporary avant-pop landscape.
