Previous releases include Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. I & Vol. II (PAN, 2013/2016). Support by Florian Hecker, who recently released Natural Selection (PAN, 2026), NORMIFICATION (with Marcin Pietruszewski) (Diagonal, 2025), and Resynthese FAVN (Blank Forms Editions, 2024) and a live set by focus baby, a member of the Sound & Experiment programme also known as Kiawash, a driving force behind the Orbital Reflector series & crew.

This evening is an extension of Rashad’s public talk „Idiosyncrasies of Synthetic Sound,“ which takes place at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München the day before, Wednesday 15 April at 19:00. Open to all. Part of the Sound and Experiment program (http://www.soundandexperiment.net)

 

******************

With Rooms For Music: Blitz Listening Sessions, we lean into something quieter and perhaps more radical. Across twelve Thursday evenings, we refurnish the floor at Blitz Club into a casual bar and hangout space, complete with special drinks, as local collectives, labels and community-driven initiatives take over to curate nights devoted not to dancing, but to listening.

Inspired by classic listening sessions yet firmly rooted in Munich’s present, Rooms For Music shifts attention to the B-sides and the details between the beats, reconnecting with our former format Before The Party Starts. We open the series with evenings hosted by the labels Ilian Tapeand Squama, with more to follow. Each invited group shapes its own dramaturgy: from ambient excursions, artist talks and deep techno meditations to jazz-informed dialogues, post-punk reflections and beyond. We’re excited to see these ideas unfold and where the series will go!

The dancefloor becomes a seated space for concentrated listening on Blitz’s finely tuned sound system. Donation-based entry keeps it accessible.
Rooms For Music is dedicated to sounds and sonic expressions rarely heard within the club’s walls before we close our first chapter on the Museumsinsel. We’re opening our private ritual and inviting everyone to join.

Upcoming dates:
March : 05.03 w/ Ilian Tape • 12.03 w/ Squama • 19.03 • 26.03 •
April : 02.04 • 09.04 • 16.04 • 23.4 • 30.04 •
