THE LOUDEST SKY – Festival for Eye & Ear

Mehrklang Freiburg presents "The Loudest Sky" from October 15 to 19, 2025, at E-Werk Freiburg, a festival format of electronic art for the eyes and ears. At the center are electronic sounds and digital visual worlds of compelling suggestive power. The thematic framework is formed by the works of Argentine artist Bernardo Mario Kuczer, which will be shown publicly for the first time. Kuczer passed away in 2023. He spent the last 24 years of his life in seclusion at Tuniberg near Freiburg, away from public attention. During this time, he created an extensive digital oeuvre realized with specially developed computer programs. With the festival, Mehrklang brings an extraordinary, previously unknown artistic personality into the public eye. At the same time, central works of 20th-century electronic music will be presented – sound icons and key pieces by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luigi Nono, Iannis Xenakis, Brian Ferneyhough, and Giacinto Scelsi. Expert speakers will provide accessible introductions to these works, allowing for a deeper understanding of their complex sound language. Under the title "The Loudest Sky," Mehrklang invites you on a musical journey – from the historical beginnings of electronic sound art to current digital forms of expression. Kuczer's visual work unfolds a special brilliance in this exhibition. His digital compositions – often experienced as abstract light landscapes – reveal a poetic dimension within seemingly sober technology. A characteristic feature of his works is their inner radiance. In the exhibition, they are staged as large-format light boxes in the space – a quiet but impressive form of presence. Exhibition "LightNoise. Kuczer's Audiovisual Topography," October 16 to 18, 2025, from 4 to 6 PM. FREE ENTRY TO ALL EVENTS. Organizer: MEHRKLANG – Society for New Music Freiburg e.V. WWW.MEHRKLANG-FREIBURG.DE
