About this Event
Over three evenings in July, the Kiezsalon inhabits the Akademie der Künste, moving between the subterranean bunker and rooftop terrace overlooking the Brandenburger Tor. On Thursday, 16 July, we begin with Italian electronic music composer Francesca Marongiu and Norwegian instrument builder and brass researcher Peder Simonsen. We continue on Friday with Elif Gülin Soğuksu and Sarah Neufeld, finishing on Saturday with Limpe Fuchs & Grischa Lichtenberger and Cahl Sel.
Francesca Marongiu is an electronic music composer and sound designer from Rome, now based in Tuscany. Her work moves between sound, memory and place, blending acoustic sensitivity with electronic processes and weaving ambient forms into atmospheric compositions. Having previously released solo music as Crisne and Agarttha, she released her first album under her own name, , last year via Umor Rex. Igloo Magazine called it “a quietly radiant work of organic minimalism that reveals her as a singular voice in contemporary ambient composition.”
Peder Simonsen is a Norwegian musician, composer, instrument builder and brass researcher. His practice focuses on just intonation, microtonality and long-duration sound, using sustained tones to explore overtones and acoustic space. He performs with the tuba trio Microtub and in a duo with Jo David Meyer Lysne. All About Jazz characterised their 2024 album as “a haunted music box possessed by a playful but melancholic ghost.” In 2025 he premiered a sound installation featuring custom-built mechanical trombones in collaboration with NOTAM.
This Kiezsalon is a project by Digital in Berlin and in collaboration with the Studio for Electroacoustic Music, Akademie der Künste. Curated by Michael Rosen and funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion. Presented by The Wire and taz, die tageszeitung.
