Soft Illusion x Inner Fields @ Ludwig Forum Aachen
Listening Session with TBA & Illusion
Ludwig Forum Aachen, Park (in case of bad weather: Loggia)
On the occasion of this year’s Kunstroute, we are delighted to welcome the two local music collectives, TBA and Pumpenfabrik from Aachen and Illusion from Cologne to put together a program of live acts and experimental DJ sets. With their shared idea of creating a place that allows a holistic experience of electronic music beyond the dancefloor, TBA, Illusion, and Pumpenfabrik will create a space in the Ludwig Forum that allows visitors to explore different modes of listening. Alongside the colllectives members’ contribution the Cologne-based, South-Korean music producer and interdisciplinary artist Inwoo Jung, will perform a live set.

Inwoo Jung’s practice involves materializing sensory experiences and imaginations into a tangible form. His sonic integration merges microtonal sound sculpting with obscure composition to occur happenings and dynamics that transcend the normative framework. By the bodily inhale/ release of emotions and thoughts, his expression seeks for intersectional awareness of solidarity.
TBA is a collective of DJs and producers, firmly rooted in Aachen’s club scene. By realising unconventional concepts and networking local talent, they help shape the local club culture in a sustainable way. In collaboration with Pumpenfabrik, they created ‘Inner Fields’, a series of events with a multi-sensory focus. An interplay of ambient/contemporary electronic music, interior design and selected drinks.
Illusion is an integral part of the electronic music scene in Cologne. Founded by Ada Luvv, Ole B/P, Low Ki, Magnus and mmara, the DJ collective has established itself in the underground scene. Their events in well-known venues such as Jaki and Gewölbe have attracted international DJs such as Batu, object blue and Ben UFO. Their new event series ‘Soft Illusion’ also offers a calming alternative to the club scene, focusing on ambient sounds. The collaboration with TBA, Pumpenfabrik and Ludwig Forum Aachen is part of this event series.
The event marks the start of a new long-term cooperation between the Aachen-based collective tba and the Ludwig Forum in which different spaces of the museum will regularly serve as a stage for musical performances.
TBA would like to thank Pumpenfabrik for developing the spatial concept and Görg Wolle, whose donation of wool made it possible to design a haptic version of the event poster. Collaboration with local players is particularly important to them.
