A Non-Trivial Sound System (NTSS) - Closing Performance on March 28, 2026 at Hošek Contemporary, Berlin features Lü (Luis Küffner), Ay Lak and Antuum performing experimental DJ sets.

Berlin's vibrant experimental music scene welcomes a unique exploration of sound at Hošek Contemporary. The closing performance of "A Non-Trivial Sound System" (NTSS) showcases an innovative loudspeaker orchestra created by the Society For Nontrivial Pursuits. This collective has ingeniously repurposed over 30 diverse speakers, ranging from high-fidelity boxes to quirky broken toy models, to form a multichannel sound system that defies conventional norms. Their approach draws inspiration from Acousmonium techniques, emphasizing sonic diversity and creative sound diffusion. The event features a dynamic lineup, including Lü (Luis Küffner), who presents "Synphonetics #9," a live coding performance that intricately manipulates speech synthesis to reflect the digital voice. Ay Lak Yakubouskaya and lilsand collaborate on "Tebahpla," using vocal expressions to explore linguistic intonations from around the globe, creating a resonant dialogue between language and sound. With participants like Antuum and others contributing their experimental flair, this performance promises a rich tapestry of sonic experimentation that mirrors Berlin's status as a hub for avant-garde electronic music.
