B. Concert
Andrés Nuño de Buen / acoustic synthesizer inspired by the 19th-century polymath Hermann von Helmholtz—a sound installation of tuning forks, electromagnets, and glass bottles, with sound heard directly from the objects—no loudspeakers.
Andrés Nuño de Buen (b. 1988, Mexico City) is a composer and performer based in Berlin. Vibration and resonance are central to his music, which strives for a sensory immediacy eluding verbal explanation. He works with acoustic instruments, electronic media, objects, and instruments he builds himself.
His current solo work focuses on an acoustic synthesizer—a sound installation of tuning forks, electromagnets, and glass bottles that produces sound through physical interaction alone. The sound is heard directly from the objects—no loudspeakers or digital processing.
At KM28 he performs this installation with a nod to Hermann von Helmholtz and the 19th-century investigations of overtones that laid the groundwork for electronic music. The performance invites close, quiet attention: drones, beats and resonances, attuned to subtle shifts in space and time.
BIO ANDRÉS NUÑO DE BUEN
Sensory perception is central to the work of Andrés Nuño de Buen (Mexico City, 1988), who strives for an immediate sensuality in his music. The Berlin-based composer creates his pieces through subtle processes of sound shaping with acoustic instruments, electronic media, objects, and self-made instruments.
Nuño de Buen was awarded the first prize of the 67th Kompositionspreis der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart (2022) for his work Leve for the ALEPH Guitar Quartet. His music has been performed in festivals and concert series in Mexico, the US, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Turkey, Russia and Japan, and has been supported by institutions such as the Berlin Academy of Arts and the Mexican Secretariat of Culture.
He studied with Wolfgang Rihm and Markus Hechtle at the Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe, and with Alejandro Romero and José Luis Castillo at the Escuela Superior de Música in Mexico City.
Cluster is a new-music series devoted to the investigation of sound and notation, which provides musicians and composers with an exchange area in Berlin, at the crossroad of compositional and performance practices.
This concert is curated by Labor Neunzehn for Cluster Series and generously supported by inm Berlin e.V
