Kino Aurora x Ääniasema: Polyfonatura & Preemptive Listening
This year, the Ääniasema Festival is taking its first steps toward becoming a more comprehensive event. Once again, there will be plenty of hums and noise from nine performers, but this time there’s also a side program to enjoy. This year the festival will conquer Kino Aurora with movies about experimental sound art.
Tickets to the movie screening 10€ normal / 5€ with Ääniasema festival pass (discount at the door). Subtitled or spoken in English.

Polyfonatura
Jon Vatne, 2019, 20min
Language: Norwegian, subtitles: English
Can music be composed exclusively by sounds recorded from nature? This film presents artist Eirik Havnes most ambitious project to date: Polyfonatura – a symphonic work with Norwegian nature as his orchestra.
Preemptive Listening
Aura Satz, 2024, 89min
Language & subtitles: English
In an age of intersecting political, man-made and ecological disasters, ‘Preemptive Listening’ is an ode to the sirens that are and those that could be. Siren compositions from over 20 contemporary musicians form a resonant voice to ask; What do warnings for climate change, the pandemic, rising fascism sound like? Will we hear them in advance? Does an alarm have to be alarming?
A seemingly simple and familiar object becomes the subject of a sprawling but well-orchestrated reflection on living in a time of crisis and overlapping disasters. The object is the sirens you never notice until they suddenly go off, signalling an emergency. Sirens are civilisation’s formal indicator of an acute loss of control. Artist Aura Satz’s current research into sirens finds its definitive form in this simultaneously concrete and abstract meditation on crises, disasters and the (aural) signs they inscribe in the world. The work’s soundtrack is produced in collaboration with over 20 musicians, all rethinking the siren. At a time when modern thinking and science are unable to provide adequate solutions to ongoing and escalating emergencies, the siren is seen as a prism of possibility for the emergence of new ways of perceiving and responding.
