With Stefan Wischnewski, Stephanie Müller and Klaus Erika Dietl
Next February, the big textile sound convention Sharper Than A Needle will take place at the Kammerspiele. Kiosk visitors can already try out the sound of the sewing machines for themselves today.
Today, the Habibi Kiosk becomes a textile sound space: Munich textile artist Stefan Wischnewski brings his “sewing box drum set” and creates a sound installation that fills the room with rhythmic textile noises. As part of “Dressed in Sound”, he explores the sonic possibilities of textile machines together with Lisa Simpson, Karen Modrei, Klaus Erika Dietl and Stephanie Müller (beißpony, SEWICIDE, Alligator Gozaimasu).
The ensemble brings together artists who work at the interface of textile, sound art and experimental pop music. Sewing, knitting and weaving machines, a sack sewing machine, tufting gun, carpet shaver and hand sewing machine are used as sound bodies that shape the space through rhythmic sounds and acoustic details. Together, the various machines create a sound pattern that guests can experience and help shape.
Visitors are invited to become active themselves: Under the guidance of Stefan Wischnewski, they can create their own sounds and rhythms and embed them in the ambient sound. This creates a collective sound that can be recorded, taken away and shared as a sound message, ringtone or in the form of sound carpets. With Stephanie Müller, guests have the opportunity to embroider and sew live to the rhythm of the machines, completely analog with hand needle and thread - those who wish can also bring along textiles in need of repair.
Klaus Erika Dietl will be in charge of a small writing station where visitors can develop their own text fragments and perform them to the beat of the machines. The event invites interested parties to explore the world of textile sounds and become part of the sound space themselves.
