Official opening of exhibition of graphic scores, with an introduction by the artist at 18h.

“Classical music notation from Western countries is used only by a minority of musicians around the world. There are other ways to explain compositions to performers. One of them is to create scores with an original, personal way of giving instructions: visually, or just verbally, or both. They are sometimes called graphic scores.



I’ve been writing graphic scores since 2007. My notations usually give an almost complete freedom to the performers. They are meant to be a source of inspiration for instrument players, driven by a picture or a few words. They could be seen as just a drawing, or a collage, or a graphic creation. But they are musical scores: an invitation for other musicians to perform a piece of music inspired by this notation, as they imagine it should be.



The selection made for this exhibition collects scores on transparent papers from the years 2014-2015.” — Sylvain Chauveau

To celebrate two record releases on Sonic Pieces we´re very happy to host French ultra-minimal artist Sylvain Chauveau to perform in our store. This will also be Sylvain´s first ever solo performance in Berlin, believe it or not. Chauveau has been caving his way in the contemporary classical and minimal electro-acoustic scene since the early 2000s, parallel to artists such as Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannson and released on labels such as Fat Cat, Type, Sub Rosa and Flau. His most recent album ultra-minimal just came out on Sonic Pieces next to a re-issue of his debut album Le livre noir du capitalisme. Sylvain is taking the trek all the way from Barcelona for a long weekend at mi - so, including an art opening and two concerts. This is a highly unique chance to catch him perform in town.

Sylvain will be performing minimal pieces from his last album on guitar and harmonium. Watch a video of him performing the composition "mi" taken from ultra-minimal.

We will be taking a minimum of 15€ donation for these concerts.

mi - so is happy to announce our first double bill concert. And quite the special one it will be. Roméo Poirier (Faitiche / Sferic..) visits from Brussels to perform on the same bill as local legend Tim Tetzner.. This happens in parallel to Tim’s exhibition AFFORDANCE AND FEEDBACK WITHDRAWAL (with a contribution by Roméo Poirier) which opens Oct. 27th at mi - so.

Brussels-based musician and photographer, Roméo Poirier, well known for his dense and enchanting ambient and electro-acoustic music, released on on labels Faitiche, Sferic and Kit Records. Roméo will give an outlook on new sample and research-based material from the hidden realm of historical studio engineering.

Berlin based visual artist Tim Tetzner is among other things known for his artwork production and graphic design work for Jan Jelinek’s Faitiche label. His approach to sound is speculative and material based and is since interested in how music can be made from non-music. Tim is going to present a new piece, a text-sound-composition based on the word / phrase / idea of FEEDBACK and the mesmerizing effects of giving, receiving, avoiding and withdrawing feedback from the social environment.

Feedback Withdrawals is a 14 part series of analogue / digital drawings, taking their origin in microscopic details extracted from the xeroxed cover artwork of Punk and Hardcore releases. Via collaging, redrawing and digitizing, the source material – mostly random fragments of counterculture folklore – leaves the realm of the physical drawing. And context, meaning, significance and attribution dissolve in a monochromatic abstraction of ruin-like beauty.

As a reference to D.I.Y publishing culture of the pre-digital era and paper aesthetic in general, Tim Tetzner's Feedback Withdrawals pay tribute to the immersive drawing styles of Savage Pencil, Raymond Pettibon and Nick Blinko – but transfers their gestural outline into textural abstractions of zen-like formlessness, reminescent of japanese Sumi-e drawing.

The exhibition will be complemented by a guest contribution of Roméo Poirier.
