TUNE. Joint listening of “FAVN”
Florian Hecker (1975, Augsburg) works with synthetic sound, the listening process, and the audience's auditory experience, to create installations and performances. At stake in the work is how sound is received, processed, and transformed by the listening body, inviting audiences to engage with composite sonic environments that question the nature of perception and listening itself.
For TUNE, from 4.9. - 14.9.2026, Hecker presents “FAVN”, a thirteen-channel sound piece in the Westgalerie. “FAVN” unfolds as an automated performance, tracing the blurry boundaries between reality and imagination, sensory perception and hallucinated events. Evoking notions surrounding late-19th-century psychophysics and the quantification of the senses, “FAVN” follows Debussy in sonically reincarnating the protagonist of Stéphane Mallarmé's 1876 poem L'après-midi d'un faune.
On Friday, 11.9., Hecker performs new work in relation to his latest release Natural Selection live, and on Saturday 12.9., a roundtable featuring computer music researcher Vincent Lostanlen and philosopher and editor Maya B Kronic, will take place to discuss the rich ideas Hecker’s work explores and generates, followed by a group listening session of “FAVN”.
Tickets will be avaliable soon.
