silent green presents

Aurora Edition
Aurora Edition is a vanguard series of ambient, drone, atmospheric and experimental live concerts. Held in carefully chosen selected institutions, venues and off-spaces. The audience immerses themselves in cathedralic spaces, indulging in the splendor of immersive sounds complemented by a tailor made audio-reactive visuals and a unique light concept. Each live show features a tailored audio/visuals, projected onto cathedral domes and walls, inviting the audience to luxuriate in enchanting sounds while lounging in the space. With a promise of seamlessly blending music and visuals, Aurora collaborates with multiple powerful artists for each edition, creating impressive atmospheres that perfectly complement rare architectural settings.

Since the event series was founded in 2023, Aurora Edition has simultaneously transformed into a record label, presenting its first release with Yanlings Cymatic.

In the October edition at silent green, Yanling presents her new album Cymatic with a four-piece choir, complemented by performances by Jan Urbiks and Amedeo Cappelletti. Audiovisual artist Tim Novikov visually designs the programme with customised dome projections.

Yanling
Yanling, founder of the event series Aurora Edition, has titled both the opening track and her upcoming 2024 album Cymatic refers to the visible patterns created upon matter via their sonic vibratory movements. A way of translating sound waves into visual patterns. These wave-like traces represent the frequencies that our ears interpret as sound. While sound conveys something indescribable, for Yanling, the connection between sound and its visual form symbolizes a deep sense of her inner self. This new work reflects her search for something elusive and intangible—untouchable and out of reach—comparable to an infinite, undulating surge that oscillates back and forth from its origin.
In the live version of the album, Yanling performs with a four-piece female choir: Annika Dörner, Hannah Endrulat, Dinah Kouyaté, Mathilda Adamik
