June and September, the Kultursommerfestival Berlin will once again
bring a different event every day to exciting places all over Berlin. In
every district, in every neighbourhood. And all summer long. Always
free of charge. Always outdoors.
Together with major cultural
institutions, committed neighbourhood initiatives and independent actors
from the local scene, the festival has developed a diverse cultural
programme of readings, live concerts, theatre productions, performance
art, dance and workshops.
As part of the festival, silent green presents the listening session Harmonic Horizons with five different artists:
6 pm: Justin
Justin (pronounced: jusnjjshh) blends ephemeral textures, tangible matter, and
melodic micro-units to create improbable moods that evoke otherworldly
realms beyond human comprehension. Within Justin's sets, the focus lies
on intensities and navigating through fluid or fragmented landscapes,
leading to preconscious spaces.
6.30 pm: Florian T M Zeisig feat. Dylan Kerr
Florian T M Zeisig is an artist, producer, and musician. He holds an MA in Sound Studies
from the Universität der Künste Berlin and the title of Meisterschüler
in Fine Arts from HfBK Dresden, where he studied under Alva Noto from
2019 to 2021. As an artist and producer, Florian is interested in
incorporating personal, interpersonal, and real-life experiences into
his sonic frameworks. In his role as a music producer, Florian has
collaborated with visionary artists such as Kelela, Loraine James, More
Eaze, and John Daniel, among others.
7 pm: Abigail Toll
Abigail Toll is an experimental music artist based in Berlin. Her psychoacoustic
soundscapes combine ambient and electroacoustic techniques that unfold
as meditative experiences. Her artistic research focuses on data
aesthetics and harmonic chaos as modes for critical thinking, often
collaborating with musicians, artists, and writers. Matrices of Vision is the title of her upcoming debut release on Shelter Press, which
premiered as an ensemble performance in 2022 at the Klosterruine in
Berlin, organized by the KW Institute of Contemporary Art.
8 pm: Julia Reidy
Julia Reidy creates music for processed and acoustic instruments, predominantly guitars. Her recent recordings, including World in World (Black Truffle 2022), Vanish (Editions Mego 2020), and In Real Life (Black Truffle 2019), can be described as a series of non-traditional
song forms that blend unstable harmonic territories, rhythmic
elasticity, and abstract narratives with elongated, episodic structures.
She has performed at numerous festivals worldwide.
9 pm: Maya Shenfeld
Maya Shenfeld is a composer based in Berlin who explores the intersection between the
musical production methods of experimental, classical, and popular
music. Her interests lie in the perception of time, embodied listening
experiences, harmony, orchestration, and counterpoint. Shenfeld's body
of work encompasses electroacoustic compositions, site-specific sound
installations, ensemble performances, music for film and television, as
well as electronic solo sets. Since graduating from the Universität der
Künste Berlin in 2016, Shenfeld has presented her work internationally.
