Anonymous, dark, black, hidden, concealed, encrypted, opaque, undercover, incomprehensible: Ultrablack of Music dares the exodus and listens to those forces and sounds that tell of the unheard in music. Sound is the vibration, resonance and diffraction of waves in the black cosmos.

The network formed in 1991 around the labels Force Inc, Mille Plateaux, Position Chrome, Communism Records and many others is not concerned with writing new music that draws from older recordings, but with constructing new non-music inspired by the technological conditions under which these recordings were made. The installation NONPLUSULTRABLACK at Synnika opens a window into the history and present of this attempt - with contributions by Achim Szepanski, DMSTFCTN, Frédéric Neyrat, John-Robin Bold & Andy Cowling, Lain Iwakura, Realism Working Group, Simona Zamboli and Thomas Köner.

Open on Fridays from 15:00 - 19:00 and by appointment (hello@synnika.space). Please wear a mask.

The exhibition is supported by the Stiftung Kunstfonds, the federal funding program Neustart Kultur and the Kulturamt Frankfurt am Main.
