Blue Noise 2025: Day 5 with Yamila, MahaVoice, and Hany Tea x Emma Lo

Rabbit Hole Theater
In the Rabbithole Theater and the New Music Center in Essen, musicians from three very different corners of the planet come together and incorporate these into their sound worlds.

The work of the three musicians revolves around the question of how sound can function as an archive – whether as a carrier of cultural identity, as a means of digital deconstruction, or as a bridge between past and present. In a mix of electroacoustic experiments, transcultural references, and documentary sound practices, a multifaceted engagement with memory, resistance, and sonic hybridity emerges.

The Argentine musician Yamila connects baroque harmony, Spanish folklore, and digital noise; she does not smooth over the edges but presents her pieces in a strikingly confrontational manner. MahaVoice from Iran has been collaborating for ten years, working on a symbiosis between the oscillating sound waves of MahaVoice's self-built synthesizers and the floating resonance of Hamzeh's sitar. Hany Tea, from the Asian diaspora, addresses origin and identity as an interdisciplinary artist and activist. She produces narrative pieces from field recordings and oral history, weaving personal and collective stories together. Emma Lo is a writer, researcher, and sound artist focusing on embodied archives and collective sonic expressions. Together, Hany and Emma founded Spätifunk Berlin and are part of the Mutating Kinship Lab – a platform that explores sound as a social practice and communal memory.

BLAUES RAUSCHEN 2025

Under the artistic direction of Karl-Heinz Blomann, the festival has been exploring the interfaces between "human and machine, reality and fiction, sound and silence" since 2017. It addresses current developments – from artificial intelligence to algorithmic composition to a return to analog sound worlds – and raises questions about authorship, artistic freedom, and the boundaries of digital creativity. With its live format, BLAUES RAUSCHEN invites the audience to sensually experience abstract art and engage with aesthetic positions.
