    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.

    Composer and sound artist Walter Sallinen is in a constant search for the affected surplus and sublimity in contemporary sonorities. His artistic work spans from spatial and installative sound rituals to graphically notated performances and acousmatic compositions. Since 2017, Sallinen has worked closely with dramaturg and writer Klaus Maunuksela, delving into an artistic aesthetic that seamlessly integrates text, sound, and multimedia. Sallinen’s earlier work at Monom, the underwater lamento »From A Great High« was premiered in 2022 as part of transmediale & CTM Festival's Vorspiel programme. 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.
