It doesn’t take much to trans­form a place. A few years and a cre­ma­to­ri­um is a ‘Kul­turquarti­er’. A few rearrange­ments and a rooftop is an aur­al gaze­bo, a silent lawn turns into a site for lis­ten­ing and com­ing togeth­er. A few com­po­si­tions and this place becomes a por­tal to the his­to­ries of what sur­rounds it as well as oth­er dimen­sions and real­i­ties : Sud­den­ly, the the guardians of the dead are evoked, sto­ries about those in the ether, that were nev­er even alive. Con­nec­tions drawn from tiny mut­ter­ings of hid­den cor­ners to their res­o­nance across the city. The present is sum­moned by its links to past and future, a ves­sel for mem­o­ry and fore­shad­ow­ing, an instru­ment to be acti­vat­ed by our voice and touch.

As part of the exhi­bi­tion ‘Your Touch Makes The Waves’ by Cash­mere Radio, the min­i­mal­ist octag­o­nal struc­ture ‘mono­ment’ (Sara Lehn / Eric Windel) on the lawn in front of Silent Green hosts a pub­lic lis­ten­ing ses­sion of its recent sound art con­tri­bu­tions. ‘Your Touch Makes the Place’ (Sound Stud­ies and Son­ic Arts, UdK Berlin) puts hands on and presents a trans­me­di­ale and CTM Vor­spiel special.
