Short visual and sonic diary update from the CTM x WeSA trip to Seoul. Of course it was a blast 🫰🏾🫶🏾

This week I’ll be in Seoul (my first time in Korea!) with CTM for a series of concerts and workshops at WeSA, alongside Jan St Werner, Thomas Ankersmit and Sara Persico: https://www.ctm-festival.de/events #experimentalmusic #electronicmusic #soundart

Has anyone successfully DIY‑built their own Serge system?

This Thursday I will present a listening session mixing sonic curation and offering a glimpse into the long-term dialogue I started with the amazing philosophy of computation researcher Lisbeth de Mol, as part of my fellowship at the Berliner program for artistic research. Fellow artist Dan Lie […]

I want an ARP 2500, and every day I must carry on with the weight of that elusive longing on my shoulders.

I was always drawn to in-between places and borders. Here currently in Kalba (Emirates), if you walk on the coast you can see the shore and lights of Iran. And if you turn on the other side, at the door of the city, you can see the mountains of Oman.

Photos from last weekend at Triennale Milano. It is such a lovely city. Everybody is dressed with taste and smells good 🕊️ Also thanks to Nicola Ratti for having me. Concert photos are by Carola DiClemente, GDI Studio. #experimentalmusic #electronicmusic #soundart #music

Playing tomorrow in Milano at Triennale museum. My first time here. It’s as if not only the people, but the whole city itself, were wearing a perfume… https://archivi.triennale.org/archive/eventi/matinee-ekomane-hamann

I’ve had the chance to work with quite a few talented bagpipers over the years, and I can say there is a significant lack of a high-quality synth that accurately models those instruments #experimentalmusic #soundart #electronicmusic

The Strasbourg cathedral has a 3 stories high astronomical clock from the medieval times that predicts everything about time, from the hour to the year to the position of the planets. There are many parts, including an « ecclesiastical computer » and « moon and […] [Original post on post.lurk.org]

This Wednesday 21h is the premiere of new music I created in collaboration with La Nòvia, Nina Garcia, and Clara Levy at Festival Musica in Strasbourg. These pieces complete a program that adapts Conlon Nancarrow’s diabolical player piano studies to be performed by La Nòvia, a wild challenge in […]

I’ve often been reminded that documentation is also a political act. Therefore, after a long‑overdue overhaul, I’ve finally built a new website that begins to close the gap in archiving my work properly. Thanks to the precious friends that have helped on the way: 🔗 www.jessicaekomane.com […]

Earshot (led by Lawrence Abu Hamdan of Forensic Architecture) is searching for an assistant audio investigator in London to conduct "sonic investigations for communities affected by corporate, state, and environmental injustice." Full job description […]

Was behind a bunch of people in a queue who were talking about how they were protesting in support of Palestine and expecting to get arrested, then saw them pay for their bread with Barclay's bank cards. I'm not anti-protest by any means, but where we put our money is possibly the most power […]

Uh oh, I opened the Pandora's box of hardware synths and got sucked in. Someone come pick me up 😵‍💫

Something I bought this Friday and recommend : hypnotic raga by Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar (1982) https://blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/vrindavan-1982 #experimentalmusic #BandcampFriday

panamaplaylists.com This is a wild website

Good evening to Mastodon only.

What are the best sources to learn modular synths?

[Doom] First that news that we’re about to breach the 1.5 degree global warming limit, now Trump attacking Iran. I couldn’t find sleep anymore after all that.

Last day to vote in @subvert board elections

I feel personally seen with that new bags under eyes emoji 🫩

"The days we spend in close proximity to others’ lives ashore remind us how disenfranchised ours have become. We were homeless before we acquired Wrack, but now we are without a legal residence anywhere, even in our ‘home’ countries. We enter and exit borders […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

I did an interview for Kaput Mag, thanks to Thomas Venker ☕️ https://kaput-mag.com/stories_en/em-guide_jessica-ekomane_music-has-this-capacity-to-make-you-feel-the-whole-possible-and-impossible-spectrum-of-your-emotions-and-i-want-to-appeal-to-all-of-it-all-at-once/

When stressed or worried, stop everything and visualize that #caturday feeling.

Happy birthday to the World Wide Web. Apparently, this was the first URL ever: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

If you haven’t visited my sound installation “Antechamber” yet, this weekend is the closing weekend and your last chance to do so. On view at KW Berlin until May 4 🥺😭 https://www.kw-berlin.de/en/closing-weekend-spring-25/ #experimentalmusic #soundart

I did an interview for Struma+Iodine that just went online, with questions by Jung an Tagen and photos by Philippe Gerlach. Thanks to @shillastrelka: https://strumandiodine.com/article/to-explore-the-limits-and-modalities-of-this-sensory-apparatus-an-interview-with-jessica-ekomane/

Someone from the Berlin #meshtastic public channel put this Etherpad together to summarize what’s going on in the city: https://pad.x-hain.de/p/Meshtastic-nettiquette-berlin.

New passion UNLOCKED: #lockpicking

Someone shared this album of Fairouz’s 1967 reworking of Eastern Christian hymns traditionally performed on Good Friday, and I’ve been enjoying it this morning. Such a unique voice, that always has a soothing effect on me: https://youtu.be/wHu-SRjKPF8 #thestudio #nowplaying #listening

The concert night inside my installation at KW with @kmru and Okkyung Lee was wonderful. I am grateful to them for participating. It’s always extremely moving to see how music can be such a powerful communal force when the audience becomes one big organism. That’s what I’m doing it for, really […]

Some days, the palpable rise in the amount of hate that one can encounter feels heavy and disheartening.

Always tempted to start an on-site panel discussion whenever the police or staff ask me, “Are you a DJ?” at airport security

Wow, I just revived my ancient PC with some old music projects and Max patches that I thought I had lost forever on a corrupt hard drive… some of the very first music I ever created! 🦕🦖☄️

@bini_adamczak is among us ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ …

I've booked my first night train, back to Berlin. The plan is to make it a rite of passage in which I go through the toughest inner battles and adventures in the dark of the night, emerging on the other side at dawn, tired, transformed, my sins washed away, ready for the day of my BIRTHDAY in […]

There on #meshtastic 🏴‍☠️👊🏾 but forever trapped on an anxious mute loop (“Waiting to be acknowledged… < Max retransmission reached”) while hearing other broadcast on the public channel. Did someone have this issue and solved it? At loss of ideas…

Now that this Istanbul snowstorm is behind us, I’ll be back in town this Saturday evening to play at Arter Museum. Excited to be sharing the bill with none other than Charlemagne Palestine, who will be performing "Strumming Music". Görüşürüz! ❄️ #experimentalmusic

Manifolds got an award : « coup de coeur de l’Académie Charles Cros 2024» in the #experimentalmusic category. I got it this morning in the mail and it made my day, i hope something nice lightened yours too 🌸

It seems like an appropriate time to get acquainted with #offline / #p2p / #mesh communication… Does anybody have good recommendations for alternatives to #briar on iOS? :thinking_fidget:

RIP #skype (2003 - 2025) 🍂 The end of an era, that of MSN and Myspace https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/28/microsoft-skype

Facing the 1000+-year-old giant angels of Hagia Sophia led me into a week-long crisis where I just keep thinking about the fleetingness of all our goods, trends and lives…
