Confronting Noises 4: Breaking Free

aNoise invites you to Confronting Noises 4: Breaking Free, the fourth edition of our performance series dedicated to Contemporary and Experimental-Electronic music. This chapter focuses on resilience, rupture, and liberation — continuing our aim to create a platform for independent and experimental sound practices. Since its beginning in 2024, Confronting Noises has brought together artists working across improvisation, drone, and hybrid forms. As a result, PAS Berlin has become a meeting point for international voices. Moreover, this edition highlights both international and Berlin-based artists to deepen that exchange.
