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.
