The concert MK-ULTRA Sound presented current works from the semester alongside contributions by students, alumni, and friends of HfG Karlsruhe in the field of MK Sound. The evening featured a collaborative performance installation by Dr. John Richards (Dirty Electronics) and Lorenz Schwarz (Circuitry-Based Sound), emerging from the workshop Shifting Signals, as well as stage performances by Ichiigai and invited guest Elmar Farchmin (Toredebruit). Analogue and digital circuits, demodulation, and signal shifting formed the basis for experimental audiovisual works oscillating between concert and installation.
