in be tween noise – a tribute to steve roden (1964–2023)

singuhr — projekte & silent green present

The American artist Steve Roden died after a long illness on September 6, 2023 in Los Angeles (California). On April 27, 2025, his 61st birthday, singuhr — projects and silent green present an eight-hour concert in memory of Steve Roden with a selection of works for loudspeakers from Roden's various creative periods.

Steve Roden was born in Los Angeles in 1964. His works in painting, sculpture, sound and video develop a visionary and individual aesthetic language across and in-between multiple media based on his interest in transmedia translation systems. By experimenting with visual images, music, language, code, objects, instruments, field recordings and the act of listening itself, he has created his own unique connections between different artistic formats and media.

Steve Roden has collaborated with singuhr on two solo exhibitions and a concert project: In the fall of 2002, he presented two new sound installations in the tower of the Parochialkirche in the singuhr - hoergalerie in parochial: Light Forms and The Moon Gatherers. In summer 2004 he collaborated in a concert project Suite Nuit (together with Frank Bretschneider) as part of the suite in parochial festival. Most recently, in 2012, Roden presented another solo exhibition, Rag Picking, at singuhr - projekte in the Meinblau project space in Berlin.

"in be tween noise" wants to pay tribute to the artist in a special way. The event in his memory is a long-duration concert: Over the course of eight hours, it allows people to come, listen, leave and return quietly.
