The two-day festival eavesdrop presents contemporary electronic music and sound art from more than a dozen outstanding Berlin-based and international artists.
Taking place at silent green’s Betonhalle, the festival’s 3rd edition uniquely brings together a group of adventurous composer / performers and installation artists that share a common practice in electronic sound composition whilst spanning a diversity of inter-related contemporary tendencies.
Whether it’s multi-award winning Mariam Razaei’s exceptional turntablism, Ilpo Väisänen’s legendary DIY analog electronics, Jasmine Guffond’s generative sound installation, Nina Garcia’s extraordinary electric guitar manipulations, Lottie Sebes’ AI voice synthesis or Oren Ambarchi, crys cole & Jessica Ekomane’s carefully curated music selections, eavesdrop invites listeners to consider, from multiple perspectives, new social and technical developments in international music and sound cultures.
‘To eavesdrop’ is a mode of listening intently and eavesdrop invites listeners to deeply engage with live performances from the 6th November with Rashad Becker, Audrey Chen & Hugo Esquinca, Mariam Rezaei. DJs Oren Ambarchi & crys cole. 7th November – Nima Aghiani, Mat Pogo, Nina Garcia, Ilpo Väisänen. DJ Jessica Ekomane. Installations throughout the festival from 19:00 by Louis Cameron, Jasmine Guffond & ilan katin and Lottie Sebes.
Native to Berlin, the first edition of eavesdrop festival took place in 2017 at ausland, a venue highly renowned for its strongly independent culture, and more than two decades-long support of experimental music. The aim was to celebrate female & queer electronic artists which we felt had been lacking in many European festival line-ups. The 2nd edition took place the following year at the Musikbrauerei and after an extended hiatus the 3rd edition of the festival will transpire at silent green’s Betonhalle, historically situated at the former crematorium in Wedding.
