Sonic Interventions
Hannah Elsisi presents Chromesthesia
Sonic Interventions is a band of transdisciplinary, diasporic-futurist musicians based in Berlin. The band emerged in 2020 from weekly jam sessions on Tempelhofer Feld and is now established as one of the city's most acclaimed underground Jazz collectives. Known for inclusive live spectacles, in which moments of meditation and trance rise into heavy grooves, traditional rhythms of the African and Latin American continents coalesce with urban styles such as hip-hop, trap and house. The group combines poetry and dance inspired by the cosmos, ancient alchemy and world mythologies.
British-Egyptian award-winning social and intellectual historian Hannah Elsisi presents Chromesthesia, a 13-hour durational performance. From Rio to Cairo, Miami to Kampala, Chromesthesia tracks Afro-diasporic rhythms and explores the history that undergirds Afro-descendant electronic music.
