TURNS ECO/EXO: ELECTRIC ASHES
Louisa Palmi x Pierre Alexandre Tremblay
Fr, 27.03.2026 19:00 Uhr CET
Louisa Palmi und Pierre Alexandre Tremblay nutzen 3D-Klangtechnologien und Sound Processing, um immersive Audiowerke zu schaffen, die gesellschaftliche Phänomene – von Verwandlung und Infrastruktur bis zu technologischer Übersättigung – klanglich erforschen.
Der neue Zyklus ECO/EXO überführt zentrale Spannungsfelder der Gegenwart in immersive Klangräume und verbindet ökologische Fragilität mit spekulativen, außerirdischen Perspektiven. Beide künstlerischen Positionen nutzen den Raum als aktives kompositorisches Element und arbeiten mit vielschichtigen elektroakustischen Verfahren. Das Konzert stellt zwei unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen an Material, Wahrnehmung und Zeit gegenüber. Gemeinsam eröffnen die Werke neue Hörperspektiven zwischen Körper, Umwelt und Imagination.

Earth to Earth
Louisa Palmi
The temporality of resonance and resistance of a place.
Being in a place requires time. Letting the place enter you.
We need a place for mourning.
I feel that something is taken away from me all the time. Being young today (maybe old too) is seeing how our future is slowly, for most of us, or fast, for some of us, taken away from us. It is to witness a future that is gradually eroded, through ecological, social, and existential loss.
It is taken away in many different ways leading to death in different ways.
For this we need to mourn. We need to mourn the current state of our planet, our societies, our world.Earth to Earth is a continuation of my ongoing musical series on death. In this work, the perspective expands toward ecological grief, addressing eco-anxiety and solastalgia, the feeling of being homesick while still at home, closely tied to climate change and the loss of ecological stability.
The composition is grounded in field recordings from my immediate surroundings in Tromsø, Northern Norway. Every day over the course of one month, I made recordings in the same area, gathering sonic material from the snow to capture its subtle, day-to-day transformations. Snow is one of nature’s most sensitive barometers of a changing climate; its sonic character varies dramatically with temperature and condition, allowing these small shifts to become audible. In this piece, I want these subtle changes to be heard as traces; fragile, temporary, and slowly disappearing.

here and there, both, at the same time
Pierre Alexandre Tremblay
In this performance, I am premiering new musical scenes, as well as remixing, extending, overlapping, and subverting some material from my previous multichannel pieces in situ, to bring them to life in ZKM’s Sound Dome. These exceptional listening conditions will give us, I hope, a perfect environment to explore the poetics of multiple densities of uncanny objects, found or synthetic. As they all cohabitate in many surreal spaces of various shapes and sizes, they will tell each of us a unique story, through their unexpected co-presence and dialogue.
