La Grainerie, Toulouse | Blind Signal

With happiness we share today about our last project in Toulouse in collaboration with La Grainerie. A series of soundwalk recorded between December and february.

It has been a real joy to work allongside La Grainerie and all the lovely people involved in this project.

The project is in French and requires headphones.

This project is part of Human Cartography, a project that we have been developing for a year now and which is developing under several geographies. More to come soon.

Take good care of you

DẤU CHẤM - CONNECTION | Audio visual podcast hybrid

This performance is a beauty.

Yesterday evening, LinhHafornow and #agfpoemproducer did a hybrid performance at the Goethe-Institut Hanoi.
This work is one of the fruits of a first encounter during a Blind Signal project in 2019, in Hanoi. This performance is based on a dynamic of a particular common part of their identity.

Here more details:
Linh Hà's parents spent their young adulthood studying and working, like many other Vietnamese 'guest' workers (Gastarbeiter), in the former GDR, the East German Soviet occupied socialist part of Germany, during the 80s. At that time, AGF was just a teenager behind the wall finding her own way. Linh Hà 's parents and AGF must have crossed paths in the party scene and student clubs in the wild end of 1980s in Halle/Saale, shortly before the Berlin Wall came down, but they never met. After the wall came down Linh Hà was born in Berlin when AGF started her first steps into her practice as an electronic musician. This special Vietnamese-German history playing out 30 years later in Hanoi, Vietnam where they met (again). AGF was invited to Linh Hàs home to meet her parents and memories from that time were exchanged. Another detail that draws the history together is that AGF grew up in a socialist ghetto city nicknamed Ha-Neu (i.e.: Halle-Neustadt, abbreviated and spoken: as Ha-Neu)...

In 1980, the GDR was known to have hosted around 2,000 'guest' workers from Vietnam to support their industries such as the chemical plants..

Blind Signal wants to specialy thanks the artists and composers Marisol Jimenez for her indescribable works, so much to be felt, Andreas Trobollowitsch for his hard work. Kiku Day, Alexander Kranabetter and Carina khorkhordina for their fantastic playing and dedication. Allegra Solitue for supporting us in the communication, Jens Papé for giving an hand with the production, Max Alter for his precious help and the upcomming videos and all the friends and the audience who came with a smile that warmed us up.
Moreover, this project would not have been possible without the support of Initiative Neue Musik Berlin / field notes, Musikfonds e.V. and AKM/austromechana.
To finish a special thank you to all the team of the Foerderband Kulturinitiative Berlin that have been very supportive.
