Marc Elsner and Kimi Recor are Berlin-based artists exploring the edges of sound, perception, and embodied experience. Their debut album, “I”, emerges from a broader installation work titled Resonant Spaces, developed in collaboration with visual artist David Becker.
Their first single, nepsis, offers an early glimpse into this sonic landscape. The piece investigates clarity, spaciousness, and the liminal space between sensation and awareness.

Resonant Spaces is a multi-sensory sound and performance installation. It treats sound not only as something we hear, but as something we feel and see. Using the monochord, analog synthesis, voice, and convolution-based processing, Marc and Kimi generate live frequencies that activate both room and body. These sounds are unrepeatable, unfolding in real-time. The environment becomes the resonant chamber.
Kimi’s vocal work moves between raw, grounded tones and delicate overtones. She approaches the voice as a living instrument, shaped by body and breath. Marc sculpts textures from overtone structures and processed vibration, drawing on psychoacoustic techniques that engage the vagus nerve and internal systems.
For this first album, David Becker contributes as a visual collaborator, offering a filmic layer composed of water, light, and vibration. His imagery reveals the physical shape of sound, forming a bridge between the auditory and the visible.
Each track on the album is accompanied by a film. Together, they form a sensory sequence: a score, a ritual, a field. Resonant Spaces is not a concert. It is an environment. A place to sit inside of sound and allow it to reshape you.
