Shane Parish
plays Autechre
MAY 16 19:00
Kraftwerk
Shane Parish plays Autechre is a solo acoustic guitar performance of Autechre's 1990s electronic catalogue, drawn from his 2026 album Autechre Guitar on Bill Orcut's Palilalia. Parish notated material from Incunabula, Amber and Tri Repetae and distilled it for a single unaccompanied instrument. The result braids Booth and Brown's futurist melancholy into a lineage of blues, jazz and American primitivism that was always latent in the originals.

7038634357 is Neo Gibson who records and performs under the alias of a Virginia phone number. Releases on Blank Forms Editions move between gauzy ambient drift and moments of direct, unprocessed vocal presence, the fragility of each enclosed by walls of granular digital noise. Somewhere between the shoegaze-damaged electronics of Fennesz and the spectral intimacy of Burial's Antidawn, but with a formal precision that resists both comparisons.

Caterina Barbieri
with MFO and Ruben Spini presents "New Work"
MAY 16 22:00
Kraftwerk
Caterina Barbieri presents a new fifty-minute work for electronics, vocal ensemble and brass, with light design by MFO and Ruben Spini. Barbieri is an Italian composer based in Milan whose work investigates the psychoacoustic effects of repetition and pattern through modular synthesis and expanded electroacoustic formats. Albums Patterns of Consciousness (Important Records, 2017), Ecstatic Computation (Editions Mego, 2019), Spirit Exit (light-years, 2022) and Myuthafoo (light-years, 2023) trace a practice that treats computation as a means of inducing states of trance and altered perception. In 2024 she was appointed Artistic Director of the Venice Biennale Musica for the 2025-2026 cycle. The new work, which receives its world premiere at Rewire and the Philharmonie de Paris in April, is presented here in its German premiere. Barbieri has a long working history with Berlin Atonal, where earlier collaborations with MFO and Spini have been developed and presented.

Brighde Chaimbeul
MAY 16 23:00
Kraftwerk
Brighde Chaimbeul is a Scottish smallpipes player from the Isle of Skye. Her 2019 debut The Reeling located the highland pipes within a lineage extending toward drone, minimalism and electroacoustic practice without abandoning the ornamental and modal specificity of the tradition. Subsequent work has moved further into improvisation and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Romeo Castellucci and Scott Gibbons
To Carthage then I came
MAY 16 00:00
Kraftwerk
Romeo Castellucci & Scott Gibbons present a new performance work entitled To Carthage then I came. Castellucci's famous theatre practice overturns the primacy of literature in favour of an integral dramaturgy of image, sound, sculpture and architecture. He has worked with American electroacoustic composer Gibbons since 1998, across a body of stage works spanning Genesis: From the Museum of Sleep, the Tragedia Endogonidia cycle and a complete Divina Commedia at the Festival d'Avignon. Gibbons extracts sound from the depth of matter, between the molecular and the cosmic plane. His stated intent is that the material should be experienced physically.

Kraftwerk
Paul Jebanasam performs material from his recent album matr, which followed residencies at the Arvo Part Centre, IRCAM and San Fedele Musica. The work explores a deep-time centering of human and geological duration, fusing contemporary classical structure with sculpted noise and digital signal processing.

LOIS PATINHO + XABIER ERKIZIA
LIGHTS RUN DOWN MY THROAT (II)
MAY 17 02:00
Kraftwerk
Lois Patinho is known for pushing cinema into territory beyond the visible. For The Infinite Now, he extends this into a multi-hour journey through the night. Moving between cinematic imagery, pulses of light and periods of complete darkness and accompanied throughout by Xabier Erkizia, whose sound exists somewhere between composed music and raw environmental texture. The two elements breathe in and out of each other; when one recedes, the other carries you forward, and the space between them becomes yours to inhabit. To be experienced lying down, in the small hours, Patinho + Erkizia guides a mass audience through a collective dream sequence and by the end, the line between what was on screen and what the mind produced in response has become impossible to locate.

Kali Malone
Installation Works
MAY 17 04:00
Kraftwerk
Kali Malone is a Stockholm-based American composer and organist whose work implements specific tuning systems in minimalist structures for pipe organ, choir, chamber ensembles and electroacoustic formats. Albums The Sacrificial Code (2019), Does Spring Hide Its Joy (2023) and All Life Long (2024) have established a body of work centred on sustained tone, patient formal development and close attention to acoustic phenomena. Kali will present a live listening session consisting entirely of long-form, mostly unreleased installation works composed for contemporary art contexts.

Adam Wiltzie
A Tired Reworking of Stars of the Lid For the Sleep Deprived
MAY 17 08:00
Kraftwerk
Adam Wiltzie is a Brussels-based American composer and one half of Stars of the Lid, the ambient project he co-founded with Brian McBride in Austin, Texas in 1992. Across albums including The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid (2001) and And Their Refinement of the Decline (2007), the duo developed a body of work built on treated guitars, strings and slowly evolving orchestral textures. Following McBride's death in 2023, Wiltzie remains the project's sole custodian. His other work includes A Winged Victory for the Sullen with Dustin O'Halloran, The Dead Texan with Christina Vantzou, and a number of film scores. A Tired Reworking of Stars of the Lid For the Sleep Deprived revisits and reconfigures the duo's catalogue for the durational context of The Infinite Now, where fatigue and sustained attention reshape how music is received.

Kotonski Reworked An Installation
MAY 17 11:00
Kraftwerk
Jim O'Rourke and Eiko Ishibashi present a reworking of compositions by the Polish composer, teacher and music theorist Włodzimierz Kotoński, installed as a continuous playback work. One of Poland's most radical 20th century musicians, Kotoński pioneered tape music, live electronic performance, synthesised music and computer music, lecturing in composition and electroacoustic techniques at home and across the world. He was responsible for Poland's first piece of electronic music, 1959's Etiuda na jedno uderzenie w talerz, and assembled a broad catalogue of experimentation, publishing the authoritative manual Muzyka elektroniczna in 1989. O'Rourke and Ishibashi, last spotted editing and reworking tour material from 2023 on their Drag City-released album Pareidolia (2025), apply their bespoke processes to Kotoński's source material. The installation was first presented at Unsound in Osaka and Kraków before a further iteration at Nowadays in New York.

Kraftwerk
The legendary Marginal Consort perform over three hours. The cult Japanese collective improvisation group, founded in 1997 by Kazuo Imai, a former member of Taj Mahal Travellers and student of Takehisa Kosugi, convenes only for special occasions. Nothing is discussed in advance. The members distribute themselves across the space, each concentrating on an independent solo using acoustic instruments, electronics, bamboo, marbles, water and found objects. What coalesces is an accumulation of separately produced phenomena whose entanglement the audience navigates freely.

Joy Guidry
MAY 17 19:00
Kraftwerk
Joy Guidry performs on bassoon and electronics. Guidry is an improviser and composer whose work moves between electroacoustic composition, ambient and free jazz. Guidry's practice treats improvisation as spiritual exercise and the performance space as a site of radical care. Albums Radical Acceptance (2022), AMEN (2024) and Five Prayers (2025) trace a path from processing to liberation, each informed by Black sonic traditions and an unflinching personal reckoning.

Keiji Haino (guitar + electronics)
MAY 17 20:00
Kraftwerk
Keiji Haino performs solo, moving between cymbal, guitar and voice. Across more than five decades, he has built one of the most formidable and unclassifiable bodies of work in experimental music. A vocalist, guitarist, percussionist and multi-instrumentalist whose output spans solo performances of pulverising intensity, the psychedelic heaviness of Fushitsusha, and the longform improvisational structures of numerous duos, trios and ad hoc groupings. Haino's practice resists reduction to any single mode: a performance might move from silence to obliterating volume within minutes, or sustain a single gesture for an hour. His voice, which ranges from a barely audible whisper to a scream that seems to originate somewhere below the body, is as much his instrument as the guitar. Releases on PSF, Alien8, Black Truffle, Drag City and many others number in the hundreds. Each performance remains a singular event and a rare thing to witness.

Actress presents his new live show. Darren Cunningham, whose ten studio albums have conjured a body of electronic music with a corroded, opaque and deliberately weathered surface. Beneath it are traces of Detroit techno, early electro, art-pop melody and machine-generated drift, none of which quite survives intact. Splazsh topped The Wire's chart in 2010. The work since, from the bleached-out terminus of Ghettoville through the language-system of AZD to the celestial stillness of Statik, has deepened an aesthetic that remains singular. For this occasion he presents his new live show.

2k88, Lauren Duffus, Rainy Miller & Bianca Scout is a four-way collaborative performance bridging Polish and British experimental club music, born from the Unsound x Selector After Dark residency in Gdynia, supported by the British Council. Gdynia producer 2K88 joins Rainy Miller, Lauren Duffus and Bianca Scout, three British artists operating at different edges of the same landscape between R&B, deconstructed club, ambient and narrative-led performance.

A Cosmic Display Of Beauty
MAY 17 23:00
Kraftwerk
Terrence Dixon premieres A Cosmic Display Of Beauty, a new work for The Infinite Now. Dixon is one of Detroit's most uncompromising electronic musicians, whose recordings under his own name and as Population One have mapped a sustained interior world at the furthest edge of techno's speculative tradition. Where others use the machines to energise or overwhelm, Dixon uses them to think - to model systems, to trace invisible architectures, to locate something like transcendence in the repetition of a single pulse. Releases on labels Metroplex, Tresor and Axis have established a body of work characterised by strict economy, spatial depth and a philosophical rigour that resists easy categorisation.

LAN
Kraftwerk
LAN is a site-dependent participatory installation built around a 10-person local area network. In this iteration during Atonal, the physical space of Kraftwerk doubles as a battle arena. Its recognizable architectural forms are translated into a playable map for Unreal Tournament 2004, where participants explore, run, jump, and frag through a digital replica of the architecture surrounding them. Rooted in the DIY gaming culture of the early 2000s, LAN operates through an ethos of techno-brutalism, insisting on the rawness of utility, where efficiency, necessity, and directness become the aesthetic of a social gathering.

A Bunch of Questions with No Answers
Kraftwerk
A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US Department of State during press briefings between Oct 3, 2023, and the end of the Biden administration concerning US policy in Palestine. As persistent calls for clarity and accountability were met with evasions and omissions, the artists chose to edit them out. What takes center stage after their removal are thousands of questions that serve as a critical document of this period and a collective portrait of the journalists.

THE FERAL (Epoch 1)
Kraftwerk
From The Feral, 2025–3025, a project initiated by Fabien Giraud, co-founded with Anne Stenne
Single-channel video, machine learning and generative AI, colour, sound, no fixed duration.
The Feral is a film shot and edited entirely by AI. Intended to unfold over a thousand years, it takes place in a landscape in France’s Limousin region. Equipped with sensors, cameras and microphones, the site is both the film’s location and the learning environment of a custom-built AI system. Each year, or ‘epoch’, an artist contributes interventions shaping its continual learning across 32 generations.
Epoch 1, the first lesson to the machine, is devised by Fabien Giraud. Set in 11th-century Limousin, it is inspired by real events. It follows Emme, living among heretics during the ‘fire plague’, or ergotism, caused by ergot-infected rye—later synthesised as LSD. Hidden from the world, they inoculate themselves with this psychoactive fungus, surrendering to the visions it produces. Sequences of Emme at different ages provide data from which his life may be reconstructed by the AI system.
Taking its name from the zoological term for any domesticated animal freed from captivity, The Feral, through the shared parenting of an inhuman child, aims to produce a similar emancipation within ourselves and our world.

Six Stories of the Sun
Kraftwerk
A distant guide - the sun, has always been and always will be, completing its cycles in indifference. A worshipped deity that, no matter how heavy the woes, how dark the night, never fails to return the next morning with light. The work presents six floating sculptures that transform light. A quiet retelling of how the sun not merely shines, but metabolises the world into being. How light bends through water, through crystal, through prism - multiplying, arriving in more places than it could have alone. It enters one thing and becomes another. It fractures into colour, revealing multiplicity. It reflects, returns altered, carrying the trace of everything it touched. It eventually stretches into the horizon, ancient Egyptian god Aker, where it vanishes from sight to continue eternally. Electromagnetic radiation becoming something close to grace.
Seeing Field
Kraftwerk
Seeing Field is built around a simple idea - a large screen above a large mattress, designed to emulate the moment of comfort felt before sleep and after waking. The film and video program runs without interruption across all thirty hours. The screen hovers above like an eye as it watches over it's subject. It is like glimpsing the world reflected in someone’s pupil, a partial, shifting, and slightly distorted trace of what they are seeing. In this sense, it becomes both an eye and a window: a surface of projection and a point of perception. It looks outward and inward at once, holding the audience in a quiet exchange between being seen and seeing.

Oneohtrix Point Never with Freeka Tet / Piotr Kurek
10.05
[Prelude Shows]
[tickets]
Daniel Lopatin's recordings have traced a path from the cassette ambient underground through a sequence of albums on Warp Records, including R Plus Seven, Garden of Delete, Age Of, and the 2025 release Tranquilizer, which draws from 1990s sample libraries and rompler presets to produce something at once historically dense and immediately pleasurable. Film scores for Josh Safdie's Good Time, Uncut Gems, and the 2025 production Marty Supreme have extended the practice into collaborative settings without diminishing its singularity. Freeka Tet is a French-born, New York-based multidisciplinary artist working across performance, sound, animatronics, video and digital fabrication, whose practice treats electronic music as inseparable from the physical and transgressive dimensions of its production. The two have collaborated on stage conception and direction, and share a sensibility in which structural disorientation and sonic excess are inseparable from each other. The evening opens with a new work from Warsaw-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Piotr Kurek.

Hania Rani presents Chlling Bambino / Torus
12.05
[Prelude Shows]
[Tickets]
Hania Rani is a Polish pianist and composer based in Berlin whose recordings, including Esja (2019), Home (2020) and Ghosts (2022), move between solo piano, song and electronic texture, drawing on both classical training and contemporary production. Chilling Bambino is a distinct and still-forming alter ego, built around the Prophet synthesiser and a practice of real-time sculpting: ambient layers triggered and extended beneath a bank of keyboards, moving from long drifting tones toward hypnotic, propulsive structures. Performed publicly only a handful of times, the project marks a departure from the introspective register of her recorded work toward something more physical and kinetic. The evening opens with Torus, the Dutch artist Joeri Woudstra, whose practice spans ambient, club music and installation.

Sinfonietta Cracovia play Gavin Bryars / Aleksandra Slyz
14.05
[Prelude Shows]
[Tickets]
Gavin Bryars is a British composer whose works The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971) were among the founding releases on Brian Eno's Obscure Records label. The Sinking of the Titanic sustains fragments of the music reportedly played by the ship's orchestra as it went under, extending them across long durations in a work concerned as much with memory and loss as with historical incident. Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is built from a field recording of an elderly vagrant singing a short hymn, the phrase looped and layered as an orchestral accumulation slowly forms around it over the course of an hour or more. A later recording features Tom Waits. The programme also includes Pure Voices by Polish composer Aleksandra Słyż, a work for string orchestra and fixed electronics. Sinfonietta Cracovia is a chamber orchestra based in Kraków, known for programmes that move between the standard repertoire and new commissions.
