“Sound Sources. Everything is Music!”
with Alex Novačesković (cultural mediator)
 

Sounds determine our everyday lives and can be heard all around us, even in what seem to be the quietest moments. Every single place has its own soundscape, shaped by our immediate surroundings, by animals and people, by their actions and interactions. How does the setting affect the perception of what we hear? How do the environment, sound, people and music relate to each other?

Alex Novačesković takes visitors on a tour around the exhibition and enter into a dialogue with contemporary music and encourage visitors to reflect upon the significance of sounds in their own lifeworld.

Sunday, 25 August 12 and 3 pm, with Iris Loew

Sounds determine our everyday lives and can be heard all around us, even in the supposedly quietest moments. Every place has its own soundscape or soundscape, characterised by the local environment, animals and people, their activities and interactions. What influence does our environment have on our auditory perception? What is the relationship between the environment, sound, people and music? The focus is on sounds, their cultural use, interpretation and meanings. ‘Sound Sources’ questions the Western concept of music and allows objects from the collection to enter into a dialogue with contemporary music.

The "Sources of Sound" exhibition is open until 8 pm on all three days of the Museumsuferfest.

Free admission to all participating museums with the Museumsuferfest button. Available for 7 euros at the ticket office of the Weltkulturen Museum. Children up to six years free. World Cultures Museum, Schaumainkai 29

Δ *** FULLY BOOKED *** ​Gamelan-Workshop with Wacana Budaya, Frank Purwanto and Heri Djajasumadi (gamelan orchestra directors)

With: Frank Purwanto und Heri Djajasumadi

Gamelan orchestras are an important aspect of Javanese and Balinese court cultures, but there are also smaller ensembles in the villages. While the metallophones play the melody, the gongs are responsible for the rhythm. The group is conducted by predefined combinations of drum beats which determine the speed or volume. Gamelan orchestras can play on their own or as an accompaniment to dancing or shadow puppetry. There are also smaller gong ensembles on other Indonesian islands, but the Javanese or Balinese gamelan is the most well known by far.

As part of the "Sound Sources" exhibition, the gamelan orchestra Wacana Budaya regularly offers workshops in the exhibition. Wacana Budaya from Frankfurt Höchst was founded in 1984. During the workshop, you will play on instruments from the museum collection on the upper floor of the exhibition.

Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours

No prior experience required.
Place on workshop: €6 plus the cost of admission to the exhibition. Please book in advance.
Venue: Weltkulturen Museum, Schaumainkai 29
