Kolorit – Laut
As part of Nacht der Museen Düsseldorf on April 26, 2025, KOLORIT will transform the FFT foyer into an immersive sound-and-image space.
Blending ambient, electro-acoustic, and experimental sounds, the theme LAUT (LOUD) explores how silence can seem louder than noise, and how urban soundscapes are transformed into music. This concert performance aims to make sound both perceptible and boundless.

About the artists:
Louretta/Dr.Schmitt, Photo: © louretta.de
Louretta/Dr. Schmitt push the boundaries of what loudness can mean – emotionally, sonically and visually.
Louretta is an intermedia artist, mezzo-soprano and multi-instrumentalist who creates dense, introspective soundscapes using electric violin, live looping, modular synths and analog visuals. Her performances bridge pop concert and art installation – often spontaneous, always immersive.
Dr. Schmitt is a multimedia artist, experimental guitarist and DIY synthesist. His work is rooted in feedback systems, tape loops, modular synthesis and physical sound manipulation. With a background in sound art curation and cultural organizing, he brings deep texture and radical experimentation to the stage.
Together, they transform LAUT into an interplay of sonic expansion and reactive image. Quiet sounds become booming drones. Gentle pulses unfold into generative complexity.

burgund t brandt tunes into frequencies we usually overlook.
In her live performance Between Distances, she blends real-time radio signals, electromagnetic noise, and bioacoustic textures into a rich, layered soundscape. Microscopic sonic fragments become audible, revealing a space where communication, nature, and machine interact.
Her artistic research focuses on the longing for a universal language, one that could make interspecies dialogue possible. What begins with frequency converters and signal chains evolves into an organic sonic environment where soft and loud sounds exist on equal terms.
As a sound thinker, performer and co-director of the Seanaps Festival, burgund_t_brandt works between installation, improvisation and composition. Her work is rooted in ecological awareness and experimental curiosity.

Nino Dava explores noise as a language, a landscape, and a way of resistance.
In her performance Mosquitoes, Fireflies, electromagnetic recordings, FM radio signals, and found sonic fragments meet accordion tones and visual references to old Soviet electronics. The result is an intense audiovisual experience that connects micro-engineering with urban memory, glitch with rhythm, and electricity with emotion.
Originally from Tbilisi, Georgia, Dava brings together her classical roots, Orthodox choral singing, and experimental noise to build immersive live sets that feel intimate and confrontational at once. Her work blends folk tonalities with processed signals and reimagines sonic error as space itself.
She is a performer, broadcaster and co-founder of Plasm, a space for experimental voices from Eastern Europe. Her spoken word series City Kidz airs on Mutant Radio.

PCMR turns distortion into physical presence.
His performance explores the tension between acoustic and electronic extremes. Bow pressure, string friction, the anticipation of noise – everything builds toward the moment when distortion breaks through silence.
Sound becomes force, and distortion is no longer just an effect. It’s an acoustic act. A threshold. A question of when.
PCMR (Paul Clímaco Müller Reyes) is a composer, sound designer, and electronic artist whose work focuses on spatial sound, timbre, and the intersection of acoustic and synthetic textures. He has created music for theatre and film, presented his own chamber opera in Düsseldorf, and won awards including the ACHT BRÜCKEN Competition in Cologne.

What if silence is louder than sound?
Wolfgang Pérez brings his work MEMORIAS FANTASMAS to FFT Düsseldorf for Nacht der Museen 2025 – a haunting performance built around a rediscovered family tape from 1982. Recorded unknowingly on his grandfather’s lap, the cassette resurfaces as a sonic ghost, full of imperfections, static and memory.
Pérez transforms these fragile fragments into immersive textures using Lyra-8, tape sampling, guitar effects and analog processing. Loudness emerges not through volume, but through detail. Through what we almost missed.
Known for his genre-defying albums WHO CARES WHO CARES and AHORA, Pérez spans songwriting, sound art and experimental noise. In his newest album release MEMORIAS FANTASMAS, he invites us into the in-between – where memory becomes sound and silence speaks.

STRATEGIE V redefine volume as both resistance and ritual.
The duo from the Ruhr area – Tim Pauli (guitar, sampler) and Theo Voerste (bass, sampler) – crafts slow, thunderous sound sculptures without drums, using deep-tuned custom instruments in just intonation and field recordings from the digital wastelands of the internet.
Their performance draws from the drone ecstasy of La Monte Young and SUNN O))), and the noise chaos of Merzbow/Masami Akita. But instead of celebrating loudness as macho display, they use it to cultivate presence, patience and inner focus.
For STRATEGIE V, volume is necessary to trigger sustained feedback. But it’s also a fragile, shared decision between players. Each tone is a negotiation of space and time.
