Creative After Work on tour

Music, Drinks & Talks
in the studio of Firat Yildiz & guests

Time: 7 pm
Location: ROWI-Quartier, Bleichstraße 56a
With: Firat Yildiz, Theo Ferreira Gomes, David Dannwolf & Marco Karpowitsch (studio ww)

For the new Creative After Work on tour format, musician Firat Yildiz is opening up his studio in the ROWI neighbourhood in Bleichstraße, which is another hotspot for creative professionals alongside EMMA, the old slaughterhouse and the Kollmar & Jourdan building. In a relaxed atmosphere, with good music, drinks and snacks, visitors can get to know the studio, network and gain an insight into Firat Yildiz's work.

Together with Theo F. Gomes, Firat Yildiz presents his latest project, a mobile experimental space for electronic sounds and collective music production. At the centre of this sound laboratory is the collaborative and experimental exploration of sound and getting to know electronic sound generators. In this format for collaborative sound experiments, sound will be explored as an interface for encounters and non-verbal communication in its various facets. On the one hand, various sound ecologies can be recorded with field recordings and reflected upon in the group, and on the other, new sound atmospheres can be generated with samplers, synthesisers and drum computers as an expression of a collective creative space. The aim is to design a modular and mobile recording studio that can be used in future to realise jams, workshops and seminars wherever possible. Artists David Dannwolf and Marco Karpowitsch from the design studio "studio w w" have been invited to interact in the experimental space of the sound lab.

 

Firat Yildiz was born and raised in Pforzheim. In 2017, he founded the musicians' collective SENSE and performs regionally and nationally as a DJ. He has also worked as a sound designer on projects by Pforzheim artists and designers. Firat Yildiz is interested in the different currents of music, its manifestation and its creation. Country-specific sound cultures in constant change interest him just as much as the influence of electronic music on society.

David Dannwolf and Marco Karpowitsch met during their studies at the Pforzheim University of Art and Design and founded studio w w in 2021, a design studio focusing on motion design, product visualisation and digital brand spaces.

Theo Ferreira Gomes, post-disciplinary designer, curator and DJ, lives and works in Stuttgart and Pforzheim, where he is completing a Master's degree in Design and Future Making at Pforzheim University. He is also a fellow in the curatorial team of Ornamenta 2024, a board member of Leerstand als Freiraum e.V. and a fellow of Akademie Schloss Solitude.
