New release: TAMTAM’s “Eleven Songs”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 14 June 2022

At the beginning of 2019, Cartsten Seiffarth at the Singuhr Projekte invited TAMTAM to develop a sound installation for the great hall at Berghain. This resulted in the work Eleven Songs – Halle am Berghain, which understood the installation space as an instrument. One consequence of this is that the individual pieces are not transferable to […]

This creates a feedback loop where sonic vibrations pass through the material to be investigated and are not transmitted through the air. The direct contact let […]

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 29 March 2022

This work was commissioned for Casa Sonora curated by David Velez for the Explora Museum, Colombia, in 2020, a project during the first Covid-19 lockdown that compiled works to stream or download and play or interact with in a mobile phone.

New release: TAMTAM’s “Stromschauen”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 8 March 2022

The inspiration and the recordings for the piece Stromschauen (view/look current/power) were formed during walks in Berlin/Pankow in the last days of December 2020.

New release: Miguel A. García’s “Evhiblig”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 14 December 2021

“Is it possible to choose between the terror of silence or the terror of noise? Is emptiness more intoxicating? Does presence welcome us into its bosom, or does it expel us, usurping our place? The boundaries, if there are any, are blurred and, like false doubles, interchangeable. Sound and silence are conjoined twins. Those same […]
