Crafting Talismans of Sound An Artist Talk-Workshop in Intention, Resonance, and Presence With Kei Watanabe
How do we translate wishes, grief, and presence into sound? This presentation explores the creation of sound talismans—objects or compositions imbued with personal intention, ritual, and sonic resonance. Drawing from concepts of mapping vs. improvisation, self-soothing through loops, and deep listening, participants will engage with sound as both a medium of transformation and a refuge. Through guided reflection, participants will ask: ● What is a sincere wish you hold? ● What can you offer? ● How do you navigate doubt, presence, and trust in the creative process? Using accessible tools, voice, and found objects, we will explore ways to craft meaningful sonic expressions. No prior musical experience is required—only a willingness to listen, experiment, and engage with the unknown. Open to everyone Registration until March 29th at gather@udk-berlin.de Kei Watanabe - PETAL (she/they) is a Sri Lankan-Japanese sound artist based in Berlin. Their practice incorporates found objects, acoustic instruments, voice, and loops, with a strong focus on exploring the tension between stillness and chaos within inner landscapes. Central themes in their work include memory, prayer, and the interplay of despair and hope. Kei Watanabe is also a random artist who hates writing these.
