Sonic Dialogues: Ye Hui x WAHONO

Join us for an afternoon of sonic exploration at Current Plans on 26 March. Two sound artists from very different backgrounds and research beckon you to navigate the hypnotic landscapes of memory and mysticism, where sound becomes a vessel for experimentation and introspection. Experience the innovative works of artist-in-residence Ye Hui from Vienna and the dynamic Wahono from Jakarta, as they guide you through a transformative auditory journey that challenges perception and invites reflection.

4:00 PM - Hui Ye (Vienna/ Guangzhou) Hui Ye is a Vienna-based artist and composer specializing in electroacoustic composition. Her work spans experimental documentary, video, and audio installations, examining the socio-political dimensions of listening and the fluidity of social identity through technology and sonic culture. As the current artist-in-residence at Current Plans, Hui Ye is focusing on oral-based rituals, (non-semantic) mantras, and spiritual channeling. She will present a durational sound performance featuring AI-modified voice synthesis, blending her own voice with artificiality to recite incantations.

6:00 PM - Wahono (Jakarta, Indonesia) Wahono is a sound practitioner that explores diverse audio and visual forms. His work embodies a dialectic of control and serendipity, creating a space where precision meets disarray. He investigates the interplay between the "real" and the "non-real," crafting auditive experiences that traverse multiple aesthetic realms in both nuanced and powerful ways.

We invite you to experience these unique performances that challenge and expand the boundaries of sound, mysticism and memory.
