Analogue Foundation presents Laurel Halo 'Midnight Zone' (live score)

ANALOGUE FOUNDATION PRESENTS LAUREL HALO Midnight Zone Live score to the film by Julian Charrière ANNA VON RAISON (Live) JAMES TURRELL: PASSAGEWAYS (Screening) A short film by Carine Asscher LLINH On April 2, 2026, the historic Zenner Saal once again becomes a site for close listening and collective immersion. The room will be transformed into an intimate audiovisual environment, inviting the audience to sit, lie down, or move freely—experiencing sound and image as a shared atmosphere. This edition presents the Berlin premiere of Midnight Zone—a live score by Laurel Halo to the film by Julian Charrière. An American composer, producer, and multidisciplinary artist, Laurel Halo is known for her fluid movement between experimental electronics, contemporary composition, and electro-acoustic performance. Her work traverses ambient, techno, and avant-garde classical structures, often blurring the boundaries between synthetic and acoustic sound. For Midnight Zone, Halo composes on Yamaha TransAcoustic piano, layering strings with subtle electronic processing to create a hovering, disorienting score performed live to picture. Charrière’s 2024 film follows a drifting Fresnel lighthouse lens descending through the water column above the mineral-rich Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the Pacific—an area increasingly threatened by deep-sea mining. Rather than portraying the abyss as void, Midnight Zone reveals a fragile biome of bioluminescent life suspended in darkness. The camera moves in anti-gravitational suspension, dissolving orientation and drawing the viewer into luminous depths where perception itself begins to shift. Ahead is a live performance by Anna von Raison (AVR), a Berlin-based multi-genre producer working at the intersection of art and music, innovation and tradition; trained in classical and jazz piano in Amsterdam and New York. In 2024, her rework of Philip Glass’ Etude No. 2 was released on Glass’s label Orange Mountain Music, marking a dialogue between minimalism and contemporary sonic experimentation. Introducing the program is the short film James Turrell: Passageways, directed by Carine Asscher. The film offers a meditative portrait of James Turrell and his exploration of light, perception, and space—particularly through his monumental Roden Crater project in Arizona. Focusing on light as both material and experience, the work creates a contemplative bridge between vision and sound, preparing the audience for the immersive cinematic descent that follows. Opening the evening is LLINH, Berlin-based curator, DJ, and founder of ANIMA SGN. With a background in moving image preservation and contemporary art, her sets reflect a deep sensitivity to atmosphere and narrative, moving between dreamlike melodicism, polyharmonic layering, and experimental electronic textures—establishing a luminous and attentive threshold for the night. As always, attendance is limited to preserve intimacy and acoustic clarity. The evening continues Analogue Foundation’s commitment to cultivating focused, high-fidelity listening environments— where moving image and live performance converge in shared attention and care. Curated by Simone Merli (Soundwalk Collective).
