*ausland*, Lychenerstr. 60 1037 Berlin


*TOUCH presents: ACHIM MOHN**É, SOHRAB, JIYEON KIM, PHILIP MARSHALL Dj set*


*TOUCH* presents a triple bill of exploratory music with 3 artists each
defining their own sonic territory. German artist Achim Mohné works across
different media formats, blurring the edges between them and exploring
unexpected uses of modern and outmoded technology. Sohrab is a Tehran born
musician whose ambient works are both a product of his environment and a
reaction against it. Korean sound artist Jiyeon Kim's experiments in
resonance have led to an unconventional approach to field recording.

* ACHIM MOHNÉ* is a German artist who works across different media formats,
blurring the edges between them and exploring unexpected uses of modern and
outmoded technology. Previous sound works have made a focal point of the
actual media format on which they're released with 2012 cassette release
'And It Could Have Been Dead…' (on The Tapeworm) focussing "on audiotape
itself: as material, as body, as signifier and as sculpture". Vinyl release
'One To Another' was a specially-designed one-sided vinyl with an empty
groove which collected dust as the needle moved across it, changing the
sound from total silence to a crackling and thundering music.

*SOHRAB* was born in Tehran in 1984. He was seven when the Iran-Iraq war
ended. His name, from an old poem called 'Shahname', means 'rouge water',
which can also mean 'blood'. He started a punk band with his brother and a
friend, which lasted about two years before splitting. Sohrab is totally
isolated in Iran, with little or no connection to what is happening there.
He is currently stateless, applying for political asylum in Germany. In
Iran, 70% of the population is under 30 years old, and this explosive
social mix is causing trouble. Sohrab performed one illegal gig which was
broken up by the police. He then took to performing alone in a desert or
other place of wilderness. Various sound files were sent out before he
himself left for Germany in late 2010. These files were assembled to form
his first album, A Hidden Place, (Touch) which reflects his inner cultural
isolation.

*JIYEON KIM *started her career as media art project producer, then she
moved to the soundmaker/musician field. She mainly uses field recordings
with sounds made with handmade analogue sound devices and acoustic objects
as her source. Currently she experiments on resonating different materials
in various methods with diy microphones, amplifiers, analogue oscillators,
which leads her to develop unconventional ways of field recording.
