Information
TUNE, a series of short sound residencies, is hosted at Haus der Kunst and explores the intersections of sound, music, and visual art. The invited artists move across genres, eras, and influences and generate sonic responses and exchanges with the wider programming at Haus der Kunst. The spirit of play and evolving structures are two main threads running through this year’s TUNE. Many of the sonic artists in our new programme create compositions and experiences from multiple sound sources and logic systems. In the interplay of these loosely connected assemblages, new meanings emerge.
Curated by Sarah Miles. TUNE 2025 is supported by UNITEL Musikstiftung.
Upcoming TUNE
TUNE. Youmna Saba
Youmna Saba (Beirut, 1984) is a musician, composer, and musicologist. Through her work, she explores the connection between language and sound, and specifically the physicality, rhythm and nuances of the Arabic language. Her current research focuses on instrument and space resonances in different sonic and musical contexts. For Youmna, meaning emerges after the sound, which is a key aspect of her groundbreaking approach.
When Youmna performs and records, she transforms the oud (a traditional Arabic string instrument) by combining it with modern electronics, to create unique sounds. With this approach she amplifies subtle, often overlooked sounds generated during playing.
