    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.

    Venus Ex Machina is the composition and production alias of Nontokozo F. Sihwa. Venus brought her boundless curiosity and exacting precision to MONOM’s monument of spatial sound where she spent an intensive two weeks rewiring her compositional mind, resulting in the site-specific composition »Marshlands« which draws from her interest in futurism and posthumanism, and sketches around the outer bounds of the sonic possibilities of this imposing space. The piece is presented as a world premiere.

    Before, the part »Fire« 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.
