Stacks, tubes and conical apparatuses, for those engaged in the appreciation of sonic
endeavours, are more than inanimate objects. Sound System Culture aims to shed light on
the aspects of the sound system that extend beyond the PA system, to the group behind it
that builds, operates, and creates the crucial interaction between social groups. These
may be the crew, musicians, technicians, but also the local supporters of such scenes.
When seen in such light, sound systems become an instrument to play music, a tool to
create and change landscapes, to amplify statements, and eventually form cultures and
communities.
As an audience you are invited to get involved in the event through workshops, exhibitions,
lectures, installations, performances and of course through moving to the sound. We bring
the academic discourse to the dance floor, the party to the lecture hall and the sound
system as an art object to the gallery.
Held in a festival format at the Kunstquartier Bethanien, the four day program was
designed for artists and visitors to meet eye to eye, and explore from different
perspectives, content-related / aesthetic aspects of what we perceive as sound system
culture.
