7.30 – 10pm
On Friday, April 24 Liebig12 is proud to present a listening session of the new album Annihilating Grace of Infinity by Berlin-based Leiche (aka Marco Donnarumma) released by the Holotone imprint. The session is hosted by artist Margherita Pevere who will engage in conversation with Leiche and the audience to delve into the making of the album.
Leiche (meaning ‘corpse’ in German) is a new solo project by Berlin-based Marco Donnarumma sound artist, performer and theorist, as well as one half of the bass music duo Dadub with Daniele Antezza. Some core aspects of Donnarumma’s signature sound for performances and installations – its viscerality, rawness and spatial depth – can be found in the work of Leiche too. But, in contrast to Donnarumma’s sound work in contemporary art, Leiche is a purposeful exploration of the creative unbalance between harmony and distortion, song and soundscape, notes and noise. Drawing inspiration in equal part from the sound of brutal, grind and experimental metal, the sound design of sci-fi movies and anime and virtuoso instrument players, Leiche creates its own hybrid musical language.

more about the artists:
Marco Donnarumma is an Italian performance artist, sound artist, new media artist, inventor and theorist based in Berlin. His work addresses the relationship between body, politics and technology. He is widely known for his performances fusing sound, computation, robotics and biotechnology.
He designs and builds body-related technologies, such as robotic prostheses powered by AI and musical instruments that use the body’s acoustic signals to create sound. Ritual, shock and entrainment are key elements to his aesthetics. Donnarumma is often associated with cyborg and posthuman artists and is acknowledged for his contribution to human-machine interfacing through the unconventional use of muscle sound and biofeedback. From 2016 to 2018 he was a Research Fellow at Berlin University of the Arts in collaboration with the Neurorobotics Research Lab at Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin. In 2019, together with bioartist Margherita Pevere and media artist Andrea Familari, he co-founded the artists group for hybrid live art Fronte Vacuo. Since 2022, he is an Associate Researcher at the Intelligent Instruments Lab, Reykjavik. In 2022-2023 he was a Medienkunst Fellow at medienwerk.nrw.
