Onkan-音間
Onkan (音間), the ethereal space between notes, comes alive as Synesthesia presents an evening of experimental music on April 20th. This event invites you to journey through soundscapes where silence dances with melody. The night will open with the enchanting piano electric performance of Richard Sylvarnes, setting the stage for the Berlin-based unit Ur.X—rankX and Uri Killisch—who will weave their innovative electronic beats into the atmosphere. Adding to the tapestry, Ayumi Ishito on saxophone and Daniel Carter on horns will engage in a spontaneous improvisational dialogue.
This gathering also marks the celebration of new album releases by Ur.X and the duo of Ayumi Ishito and Daniel Carter.
Join us for a poetic exploration of the spaces between notes, where music breathes and imagination takes flight.

⚫︎Performers⚫︎
Richard Sylvarnes will perform a rare solo performance of piano combined with electronics and disembodied voices. He is a member of several groups including the infamous sound collage DJ duo the Vampÿrateswith Bradley Eros, New York’s Zero Times Everything and The Underworld Oscillator Corporation, Berlin-based KaiSaR and Palace Chop House, Sognefjorden with Sonje S, among others. For tonight’s performance he will explore the quieter side of his music rather than the noiser onslaught he has been known for and, for that reason, he is calling this performance A Little Night Music.
Exploring New Sonic Possibilities: Enkidu rankX and Uri Killisch Launch Ur.X
Berlin – Longtime collaborators Enkidu rankX and Uri Killisch proudly announce the formation of Ur.X, a progressive electronic music project. Conceived specifically for their concept album ‘no w here’, the duo pushes musical boundaries by exploring themes of failing structures, looming accelerationist forces, and hauntological tendencies.
Ur.X marries potent broken beats and deconstructed club elements with hints of ethno-rhythmic structures, all embedded in tightly woven, liminal atmospheres. This innovative fusion creates soundscapes that are both introspective and innately futuristic while fully retaining their dance worthiness.
“no w here” sketches a disordered world—a reality unraveling as human ambition outpaces the systems meant to sustain it. Its elusive title, a cipher of “now here” and “nowhere,” encapsulates the tension between presence and collapse. Every step forward fractures the ground, while soundscapes murmur with potential amid an overload of data and fragmented memories that birth meaning from dissolution.
Berlin’s own Enkidu rankX and Uri Killisch, longtime collaborators now united as Ur.X, conceived this progressive electronic project specifically for the album. Channeling themes of failing structures, accelerationist forces, and hauntological echoes, Ur.X marries potent broken beats and deconstructed club rhythms with hints of ethno-inflected pulses. Their pulsing soundscapes, both keenly aware of music history and forward looking, create tightly woven, liminal atmospheres while fully retaining their dance worthiness.
In this fractured now, control slips as polished systems reveal fault lines where chaos seeps in. Technology rewrites memory into flickering projections, collapsing meaning into noise while innovation mutates into stagnation. Yet from this erosion, a spark of possibility emerges—a future echo amid the cacophony, a faint signal of a brittle hope.
“no w here” stands at the threshold where the old seeds the new, mapping a landscape where progress, entropy, and creation blend into shimmering constellations born of chaotic abundance.
