Simon Goff - Interior Realms - Album Release Show

Simon Goff presents Interior Realms - vol. IThere is a reservoir under Prenzlauer Berg that stopped holding water in 1914. It has stood empty since, used for exhibitions and performance since the 1990s. Simon Goff went in with a viola, modular synthesizers, and a binaural microphone, and recorded what the room gave back.Interior Realms – Vol. I (Music for Listening Alone, Together), released on Sonic Pieces, is built from sessions like that one — the Großer Wasserspeicher, Grunewald Church, a WWI-era concrete listening mirror on the English coast. Each location is treated as an instrument in its own right, its reverb recorded and kept. No digital delay, no presets, no post-recording modification."It's about using these techniques as ways to invite people to come on their own journey, to explore both the spaces that I recorded in and the spaces that the music takes them to inside of themselves." — Simon GoffLive, the record is rebuilt in real time. Goff is joined on stage by two other string players including cellist Anne Müller (who played inside the Wasserspeicher while he moved the microphone around the room), the three of them reconstructing the music in real time. Jemma Woolmore's visuals are built for this performance, responding to the music live rather than running on a preset loop - carrying the record's own idea into the room itself: the space isn't a backdrop, it's part of the instrument.Doors: 19h Support – Anne Müller: 19h30 Simon Goff: 20h30----------- Simon Goff’s unique sonic language synthesizes the worlds of classical chamber music with textural, modular electronics and cinematic ambience. The classically trained British musician, now based in Berlin, has collaborated with the likes of Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hildur Guðnadóttir, and provided scores and engineered works for multiple award-winning TV shows and films [including Chernobyl, The Gold, and more]. With his third solo album released in September 2026, the accomplished violinist explores the sound of orchestral minimalism, recording harmonics in industrial landmarks across the continent, and rooting the musical language to the human experience through acoustic instrumentation and modular synths. It’s a sound that best represents his live work, as Goff uses his background in violin with modern electronic tools to explore the dialogue between symphonic and modular synthesis, and the ideological premises established by the likes of Steve Reich and Terry Riley.
