CTM Festival presents »Polymorphism« #7: Morphosis and Hieroglyphic Being in the inaugural edition of »Focus Mode«, a new Berghain club night and concert program.
For its seventh installment of »Polymorphism«, a series promoting artists and labels whose innovative approaches to sound relentlessly subvert – or simply transgress – the established parameters of musical scenes and genres, CTM Festival presents Morphosis and Hieroglyphic Being: two axiomatic artists in experimental dance music who epitomize the spirit of radical sound mutation. The September 11 event inaugurates »Focus Mode«, a new monthly club night from Berghain aimed at advancing vanguard configurations of club culture and sound. Focus Mode zooms in on emerging and established artists in experimental electronic music, offering them creative free rein in weeknight sessions at Panorama Bar.
While situated on the fringes of mainstream dance music and club culture, Morphosis and Hieroglyphic Being have both garnered critical attention for their uncompromising approaches to sound. Their respective labels, Morphine Records and Mathematics Recordings, are platforms for idiosyncratic, avant-garde dance music, and their productions and DJ sets – aesthetic aggregates of raw, industrial techno, free jazz, post-punk and early noise, traditional musics, obscure samples mined from field and media – are simultaneously defiant and devotional, transcendent and coarsely material.
Technically unorthodox, these artists’ shared interest in process over product and textured, mutable sound manifests through distortion and polyrhythmic time signatures, improvisation and on-the-fly beatmaking, and machine manipulation. Even their most dancefloor-ready productions slip the shackles of their four-to-the-floor contemporaries, aiming instead toward electric bodies, melted minds, and the cathartic possibilities of free space.

Mit Focus Mode startet unser neues Clubformat in der Panorama Bar, dessen Name für sich selbst sprechen soll. Bei Focus Mode wird es um die Konzentration auf das Wesentliche gehen: Community-vibe, Experimentierfreude und besonders viel Freiraum in der Nahaufnahme einzelner Künstler. In loser Abfolge werden unsere existierenden Reihen das neue Format bespielen. Den Anfang macht die vom CTM Festival kuratierte Reihe Polymorphism. Mit Morphosis (aka Morphine Labelbetreiber Rabih Beaini) und Hieroglyphic Being (aka Mathematics Labelboss Jamal Moss) haben sie sich hierfür zwei Musiker eingeladen, die den Anspruch der Polymorphism-Reihe, die radikalen Klangmutationen am Rande des Dancefloors einzufangen, aufs Beste verkörpern. Mit abwechselnden DJ-Sets und Live-Jams, die furchtlos und unorthodox ein Spektrum an Sounds zusammenspleißen, das von rohem industriellen Techno und House über Free Jazz, Post-Punk, Noise bis zu musikenthnographischen Dokumenten, obskuren Samples und Field Recordings reicht, transzendieren Hieroglyphic Being und Morphosis die Konventionen aktueller Clubmusik und bringen dabei Körper und Vorstellungkraft gleichermaßen zum tanzen.
