Find the File: Haus der Kulturen der Welt's new festival turns archives into art

How should we care for sound archives in the digital age?
It’s a question that Detlef Diederichsen, head of music and
performing arts at the Haus der Kulturen der
Welt, has considered for more than 10 years — so
much so that he created Find the File, a festival that begins on
March 21 at the HKW, to explore big-picture questions about music
digitalization.


We caught up with Diederichsen to discuss how the idea came to
life, plus we hear from Berlin-based musicians Tellavision and
Derya Yıldırım, who were commissioned to produce a work for the
festival’s opening night.
