Unmuted
KROSS COLLECTIVE presents: UNMUTED — Womxn in Experimental Sound
UNMUTED begins as the pilot of a new event series dedicated to womxn working in experimental music. In a scene that often celebrates sonic exploration yet still reflects structural imbalances, womxn remain strikingly underrepresented. UNMUTED aims to shift that dynamic by bringing these practices to the foreground.
The title suggests a simple gesture with larger implications: what has been muted becomes audible. The series creates a listening space where experimental sound by womxn is not peripheral, but central.
The evening unfolds as a deep listening format, with two extended live performances of 40–60 minutes each and a generous pause between them. Rather than quick showcases, the focus is on immersion, attention, and the slow development of sound.
Cate Hops (Eugenia Seriakov)
Berlin based anthropologist, curator and sound artist Eugenia Seriakov works under the alias Cate Hops. With a background in Visual and Media Anthropology, her work approaches sound and space as social practice. Her performances unfold as electroacoustic experimental pieces and ambient soundscapes using objects, hacked toys, radios, and processed voice. Seriakov is also co founder of the Fem*noise network and initiator of the project Sound System Culture: On the Radical Roots of Rave, combining research, events, and discursive formats around sonic culture.
Bridget Ferrill
Bridget Ferrill is a composer, engineer, and synth builder working from Real Surreal Studio in Berlin. Her work moves between composition and noise, exploring augmented instruments, handmade electronics, and experimental computer music. Recent releases include Domschatzkammer and Woodwind Quintet (with Áslaug Magnúsdóttir) on Subtext Recordings, and Only on ENXPL.
