How do music and sound affect sleep? To what extent can time be experienced on different levels? Fascinating possibilities emerge when we take a closer look at listening as an introspective, mental, and physical experience. An extraordinary musical event invites audiences to do just that: »Lullabyte« is a night of live music for listening, slumbering, and dreaming. From 10pm to 7am, Alice Eldridge and Kirsten Reese create soundscapes and eco-acoustic landscapes composed of nature recordings, electronic textures, and live-generated sounds. At the end of the shared night, participants have the opportunity to reflect and exchange thoughts over breakfast. The Lullabyte project explores the relationship between sleep and music through a combination of scientific experimentation, artistic practice, and an interdisciplinary research team from the fields of musicology, sleep research, neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and computer science. The concert is presented as part of the MSCA Lullabyte project in collaboration with the Ernst von Siemens endowed Professorship for New Music at the Freie Universität Berlin directed by Miriam Akkermann.
