    Since 2017, MONOM has collaborated with over 200 artists in supporting the extension of their distinct creative visions into the realm of spatial sound. The resulting archive of artworks assembles diverse perspectives and approaches in exploring the expressive potential of the 4DSOUND instrument, the evolving possibilities of spatial sound as an artistic medium, and the power of embodied listening experiences. During CTM, a series of listening sessions will feature a selection of works created during these artist residencies at MONOM, plus works created by MONOM's team, showcasing the studio's own concepts and lines of study.

    Produced in fall 2017 for MONOM’s opening events that same period, Thomas Ankersmit’s piece is one of the first handful of works created at MONOM. A fractured choreography of electric sound, the piece is essentially a series of sketches for several sonic »scenes.« The piece uses sound material created entirely on the Serge Modular synth, with a few additional recordings of a rusty steel door originally installed in the venue. Ankersmit combines the almost tangible »dry« sound from the Serge synth, the possibilities of spatialised sound, and site-specific and psychoacoustic approaches to play with listeners' perception. Casimir Geelhoed offered valuable assistance for the spatial audio programming of the work.

    Before, the part »Earth« of the multi-piece composition »The Elements: Aether, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind« will be presented, likewise as a Berlin premiere. Created and spatialized by a group of artists under the MONOM umbrella, the compositions features contributions from William Russell, Shehryar Ahmad, Alessandra Denegri, Casimir Geelhoed, Louis McGuire, Jacob Kristin, Shaw Cain Hawkins, Temple Haze, Walter Nied, Alisa Reimer, Soneiro, Fernando Derks, Andy Aquarius, and Romain Azzaro. It conveys humanity's relationship with the four elements, including historic, philosophical, metaphysical, and societal entanglements.
