SCREENING OF “WE DON’T CARE ABOUT MUSIC ANYWAY” (2009)

15TH MARCH – 8 PM

Motto Wedding (at Institut Für Alles Mögliche)

From radical turntablism (Otomo Yoshihide) to laptop music innovation (Numb), via classical instrument hijacking (Sakamoto Hiromichi), Tokyo’s avant-garde music scene is internationally known for its boldness. While introducing some of the greatest musicians of this scene, “We Don’t Care About Music Anyway…” offers a kaleidoscopic view of Tokyo, confronting music and noise, sound and image, reality and representation, documentary and fiction.

“We don’t care about music anyway”… In other words, “we make it and that’s

all”. Beyond the music and beyond its performance, the future and mode of existence of a city, and society as a whole, are in motion.

“Rather than a film about music, we like to think We Don’t Care… as a film about sound and its perception. An eulogy to raw and spontaneous creation, below codes and industry, creation as an animal way to express a rage that can not be put into words.” – Cédric Dupire & Gaspard Kuentz

Starring: Sakamoto Hiromichi, Otomo Yoshihide, Yamakawa Fuyuki, L?K?O, Numb, Saidrum, Takehisa Ken, Shimazaki Tomoko.

Passing: Re II
Martina Jurak + Stefanie Loveday

Performance at Motto Berlin
20.09.2025, 8pm

Re II is the next part of an audio-dance performative cycle titled Passing, created by Martina Jurak, that discloses urban developments through exploration of enormous construction sites which expand across Berlin.
The piece will present a sound collaboration with Stefanie Loveday that focuses on newly built parts of the controversial A100 highway. Both artists find the newly opened 16th and the planned 17th construction phase problematic from an ecological, political, and economic perspective, and have used it to gather their multi-formed creative material.
Urban research will be shown as performative installation with found objects, butoh inspired movement, and electro-acoustic sound, to question the processes of the ongoing spatial changes.

Come join our re-constructed space on Saturday, 20.09.2025 at 20:00 at Motto Berlin

August 21, 8pm (sharp)

Silas Morrow is a sculptor, improviser, and noise artist from Seattle, Washington. Through a contemplative sculptural and sound practice he explores the memory of his grandmother’s spiritual devotion as well as his great aunt’s monastic home on the coast of Northern California. He makes use of found and gifted objects along with hand crafted wind instruments. Silas encourages items to interact through electronic amplification. 

His great aunt utilized labyrinths in her spiritual practice and constructed one in her yard which Silas would be directed to walk through when visiting.
