Shebang - Album Launch & Sound Installation by Oren Ambarchi
Thursday 15, September 2022

Extended guitar hero Oren Ambarchi launches his new album ''Shebang', a long-form piece which will be premiered in a 4DSOUND version at Monom Studios on Thursday 15, September 2022, mixed by Tilo von Ketelhodt, William Russell & Oren Ambarchi. Shebang features an international all-star cast of musical luminaries, their contributions recorded individually in locations from Sweden to Japan yet threaded together so convincingly (by Ambarchi in collaboration with Konrad Sprenger) that it’s hard to believe they weren’t breathing the same studio air.
Oren Ambarchi is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with longstanding interests in transcending conventional instrumental approaches. His work focuses mainly on the exploration of the guitar, “re-routing the instrument into a zone of alien abstraction where it’s no longer easily identifiable as itself. Instead, it’s a laboratory for extended sonic investigation.’’ (The Wire, UK).

Sound Installations & Live Performances: MONOM Studio
Friday 12 - August
Summer of Music: Vol. IV
Season Finale

With Argenis Brito & William Russell live and sound installations

On August 12, 2022, we will present the final volume of our summer program, Summer of Music: IV, with the stellar participation of Argenis Brito who will delight us with spatialized versions of legendary chilean singer-songwriter and socialist political activist Victor Jara, both as live and as a sound installation. Latin, hot-blooded and with decidedly tropical tendencies, Argenis promises an experience full of emotions, Latin American nostalgia mixed with a powerful contemporary sound that will envelop the attendees in a magnetic embodied listening experience. Think Mambotur, Señor Coconut, Los Refrescos and many other rum-fueled collaborations held within the confines of slick studios. These are our main character's playgrounds. Those playgrounds have long since extended beyond the recording sessions and into some of the world’s greatest DJ booths—from Europe to Asia and all of the Americas. Our storied musician and entertainer consider himself on a never-ending quest to learn and enchant in equal parts. Which means this story never ends, but is destined always “to be continued…”

Human / Nature / Machine is a live performance and sound installation, performed by William Russell using the piano, the performance environment and various material objects as instruments to control the sonic dynamics of natural phenomena. A duet between human and nature, exploring human nature, this symphonic and kaleidoscopic exploration, places the listener in an augmented sonic reality, of music and environment mixed together as one through the machine that is the 4DSOUND system.
