The monthly series of short sound residencies TUNE, throughout the second half of 2024, invites us to hear the inaudible, just as Liliane Lijn lends visibility to the invisible in her artistic work. The programme ranges between macro and micro experiences of sound, from the spiritual to the material, and from timelessness to the present.

In October, Norwegian artist Jana Winderen presents a performance, a lecture and listening session, and a sound installation of her performance in the auditorium of Haus der Kunst. She explores human and non-human voices by using advanced sonic sensory technology, investigating hidden soundscapes within the natural environment. This exploration introduces audiences to a new form of deep listening and understanding of the sounds that surround us.

Absent Voices is a 10-channel live audio performance based on Jana Winderen's recordings from the hidden depths of water and the darkness of night.
