Sonic Territories – Echoes Of Softness

Echoes of Softness is a concert that is not only heard but felt, moved through and inhabited. Organ, electronics, voice and movement merge into a spatial body of sound that unfolds throughout the church. Cushions, blankets and soft islands replace rigid rows, inviting the audience to lie down, move, listen and remain.

Led by Valeria Lanner and Aaron Josi Sternbauer, the evening moves between improvisation, minimal music, classical traditions and contemporary sound, approaching softness as a shared and embodied practice. In the context of this year’s festival theme WHERE WATER GATHERS, open compositions and a walkable installation explore circulation, permeability and interconnectedness.
