  Logos Mater

  How does a language sound beyond the meaning of its words ? How much does the sound of a language influence us? How does the sound of a language resonate with us?

  The project LOGOS MATER by Amelie Duchow stems from a deep reflection on these questions. The audio composition of LOGOS MATER draws inspiration from diverse phonetic and acoustic elements linked to the intrinsic nature of the world's languages. Amelie Duchow invites people from all over the world to participate in this project by providing a webpage where anyone is able to capture their own voice in their native language, leaving it to the artist's sound analysis and the resulting creative process of manipulation and alteration.

  Every sound used in the audio composition derives from the vocal contributions which will confer identity and uniqueness to the development of the live performance. The composition of LOGOS MATER emerges in a global language that does not express itself with words, but with sound, seeking to “speak” and connect us, at least for a moment, by transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. The webpage remains active throughout the projects presentations and every live performance of LOGOS MATER will incorporate the latest voice contributions.

  The composition of LOGOS MATER is among the winners of the open call initiated by raster - media for soundtrack Europe 2025 part of the program of Chemnitz Kulturhaupstadt 2025.

  Kraken v3

  The project Kraken is based on an experimental software instrument built on a chaotic cross-feedback modulation system. Multiple oscillators merge into a complex synth voice that constantly reorganizes itself. Even the smallest adjustments can provoke drastic transformations, as every element is tightly interconnected. Instead of aiming for predictability, the project explores instability as a creative force—shifting between dense noise textures, fragile microtonal clusters, and emergent rhythmic fragments.
  
  Daniel Haas – mostly known as Sturmherta – is a musician, sound artist, and experimentalist who focuses on related fields such as digital sound synthesis methods, chaotic systems, and the translation of sound waves into different domains, making them visible, tangible, or experienceable in other forms. He experiments with sound as a mechanical force and as a physical phenomenon in space. His works take shape as performances or installations that merge the visible and the audible, playing with the limits of human perception through stimulation or deprivation. They deliver intense, physical experiences, often through raw and brutal sonic constructions or glaring light and imagery that challenge and overwhelm the mind, or leave us in total darkness – suspending the audience between sensory overload and absolute void, and pushing them into states of heightened awareness and altered perception.
