Concert: XI versions of Black Noise: Pantha du Prince/live, Rough Trade UK
KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin
Organized in the framework of the exhibition based in Berlin
Free entrance
Pantha du Prince claims: music slumbers in all matter; any sound, even silence, is already music. The mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of.
In his compositions he fuses aspects of experimental music, pop music, house and techno as well as Concept art and photography. New sounds emerge as images and vice versa – sound as art. The sounds of silence and the music of nature are recorded as ready-mades, confronted with each other and synthesised. On the cover of XI versions of Black Noise, the mountains and lake are repeated but abstracted as superimposed cubes. Like his music, the image has freed itself from the original and undergoes a re-reading of its form
Hendrik Weber (born in 1975 in Kassel) lives and works in Berlin. He made his debut as Pantha du Prince in 2002 with four music tracks called Nowhere. His first album, Diamond Daze, was released as a CD and double-sided LP in 2004. In 2005 his remix, Butterfly Girl Versions, was released, and was followed by Lichten / Walden in 2006. His second album, This Bliss, came out in 2007. In 2010 he moved to the Rough Trade Records label and released his third album, Black Noise, which was followed in 2011 by his current remix album, XI versions of Black Noise. In 2011 Pantha du Prince was awarded an ECHO in the national critics’ prize category.
