Tune in to tune out fr-bb.org with Katharina Zimmerhackl for ABA’s Air Salon, this Tuesday, 21th April, 16-17u.
Having been struggling with regular sleeping nearly all my life, sleep has become a very fragile and precious thing for me. A night full of sleep and especially with dreaming is a pure gift. But I rarely remember my dreams and even if I do, I tend to forget them quickly. Since the beginning of 2025 I started recording myself when I woke up and still had fragments, words or images of my dreams present: Ghostlike text messages to myself, with a raspy voice trying to clasp what was so vividly present just a moment ago. In this one-hour program I work with this recorded material and explore the intimate state in-between being half asleep and waking up, the imagery of my dreams and the associations they evoke. A sonic sleep diary. A dreamscape. A journey into the subconscious.
Hosted by ABA’s AIR SALON on Collaboradio and curated by Aleksander Komarov.

PUBLICATION: Soliloquy with Ape
A publication around the soundwork Soliloquy with Ape is finally out! The publication consists of a script or diagrammatic libretto of the soundwork as well as a conversation with the cultural theorist Romana Bund about the implication of taxidermy and creation fantasies in the 19th and 20th century.
