Sonic Traces
with Jessica Ekomane & Hainbach
DOCK 11, Saal 4 — Kastanienallee 79, 10435 Berlin
For this LOOPS session, Jessica Ekomane and Hainbach come together through sound as a material of memory, rhythm, and experimentation.
Jessica Ekomane will speak about the compositional principles present in Manifolds, engaging with Afrodiasporic languages, polyphonic structures, and forms of collective listening. Working with layered rhythmic elements, her practice translates multiplicity into spatialisation and sound synthesis.
Hainbach will present his latest experiments with magnetic tape. Today, magnetic tape is mostly experienced in emulated plugin form, as a fancy waveshaper. Yet the medium itself is an expressive instrument, with new ways of playing it still being discovered more than a hundred years after its invention.
Together, their practices trace sound across tape, memory, technology, and listening.
Jessica Ekomane is a French-born, Berlin-based electronic musician and sound artist. Her performances, often quadraphonic, are characterized by their physical affect, seeking a cathartic effect through the interplay of rhythmic and tonal perception, and the tension between noise and melody. She most recently released Manifolds in 2024, as a split LP with Laurel Halo on Portraits GRM / Shelter Press. Her work has been extensively presented in festivals, venues, contemporary art spaces and museums internationally such as Rewire, Berghain, Art Basel, Cafe OTO, KW, Hamburger Bahnhof, Reina Sofia, CTM and Venice Biennale.
Hainbach is a Berlin-based electronic music composer and sound artist creating shifting audio landscapes with uncommon electronic instruments, tape, and test equipment. Through his music, performances, YouTube channel, and co-developed software and hardware, he brings experimental sound techniques to a wider audience. He is an award winning film composer, and his compositions for ensembles have been featured at Witten, Gaudeamus and Impulsfestival Halle. He tours regularly, performing at places like Berghain and the Barbican. He has taught at Humboldt University, Manchester School of Arts, Hybrid Arts Lab Dresden, MRC Copenhagen, among others.
