For listeners drawn to sound as physical space, Silent Green offers a compact two-night route on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24. The connection is less a shared genre label than a way of building atmosphere: Friday’s HALF LIGHT moves through magnetic tape, audiovisual composition and drone; Saturday’s Kjartan Sveinsson, Gyða Valtýsdóttir, Bert Cools and Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė bring folk material, cello, piano and ambient guitar into the frame. Together, the pair makes a persuasive case for patient listening across two very different rooms.[1][2][3]

The sequence also suits Silent Green’s scale. HALF LIGHT takes place in the Betonhalle, with a programme shaped as one continuous arc across several artists. The following evening shifts to the Kuppelhalle for a seated presentation by a quartet whose collaboration has developed through shared touring and a musical vocabulary assembled from several European traditions. This is a weekend for following texture, resonance and the pace of a room.[1][2][3]

Friday: a continuous arc in the Betonhalle

HALF LIGHT begins at 20:00 on Friday, October 23, with doors at 19:00. Silent Green presents the bill as an audiovisual concert experience joining Abul Mogard, Brazilian video artist Marja de Sanctis, Rafael Anton Irisarri and Concepción Huerta. Its structure matters: the programme is conceived as a single progression, giving the individual sets a shared sense of duration and spatial focus inside the Betonhalle.[1]

Huerta opens with a live practice centred on magnetic tape, feedback, filtering and layered fragments. Mogard and de Sanctis then give the audiovisual premiere of a new work connected to Mogard’s 2025 album Quiet Pieces, pairing slowly moving electronics and archival material with image. Irisarri’s solo contribution draws on bowed guitar, harmonics and reverberant drones. The thread runs from handled sound material to large, sustained fields of tone.[1]

Saturday: folk memory inside an ambient quartet

At 20:00 on Saturday, October 24, Kjartan Sveinsson, Gyða Valtýsdóttir, Bert Cools and Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė arrive at Silent Green’s Kuppelhalle. The group’s common language carries Icelandic and Lithuanian references through minimalist piano, cello, voice, kanklės and layered guitar. Cools and Jurgelevičiūtė also work together in Merope, while Sveinsson is a Sigur Rós co-founder and Valtýsdóttir has roots in múm. Those histories give the quartet a useful map without flattening its collective identity.[2][3]

Their connection to Berlin is unusually direct. The four first crossed paths at the PEOPLE Festival here in 2018, then reunited for intimate concerts before developing this project for B-Classic. That background makes Saturday feel like a continuation of a Berlin encounter, while Friday supplies its electronic counterpart: music concerned with accumulation, memory and the slow disclosure of detail.[2][3]

Practical route for October 23–24

Choose Friday for an immersive, late-autumn evening of audiovisual work and sustained electronic sound; choose Saturday for a seated concert with open seating and a greater emphasis on ensemble interplay. Both shows list 19:00 doors and 20:00 starts. Silent Green is at Gerichtstraße 35 in Wedding. Recheck the official event pages for tickets, access information and any changeable timings before travelling.[1][2]
