the song of a loom is floating through the air, 
steadily clicking and rattling, 
a soft hum filling the room. 
What threads will it connect, weaving sound into story? 

Merlin Modulaw unveils his latest creation, The Songweaver. Drawing from diverse musical codes and references, his studies in electroacoustic composition and a wide spectrum of collaborators in contemporary electronic music, rap and dancehall, The Songweaver explores the intersections of memory, culture, and storytelling, weaving them into something new and uniquely his own. 

Taking form through various formats and medias, the project will be presented at Gessnerallee as a performance on a multichannel loudspeaker system, creating an immersive environment where music unfolds spatially, inviting the audience to experience sound on a sensory and emotional level. 

Neither a traditional concert nor a static installation, The Songweaver is a hybrid performance that reflects Modulaw’s practice of collaboration and experimentation.

What stories emerge from the threads we follow?
