WINKLER.SINGULARITY
transmedial Project Space | Essen, GER - Installationen - Konzerte - Prints | 2023 - 2025
WINKLER.SINGULARITY is a transmedial research and art project operating at the intersection of music, computation, visuality, and rhythm. It serves both as an autonomous artistic space for collaboration and as an open archive for emergent systems linking body, machine, and sound. At its core lies the question of how systems — visual, auditory, artificially intelligent, and intercultural — can evolve a language of their own through feedback, transcription, and intuition: a tactile arithmetic, a way of thinking in pulses and patterns, drawing from carnatic counting techniques and contrasted by expressive visual worlds. The project manifests in publications, installations, concerts, prints, and software.

TETRALEMMATIC ROSES
winning soundart piece
Karl Marx international composition competition
Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, 2018
In 2018, the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, in collaboration with the Association for the Promotion of the Karl Marx Anniversary Programme, launched the international composition competition Marx.Music – Wilde Lieder. Together with my composer colleague and soprano Elisabeth Anna Maria Kaiser, we won in the SOUNDART category with our piece tetralemmatic roses for a birthday.
To mark Karl Marx’s 200th birthday, we dedicated a series of metaphorical roses to him — each one shaping Elisabeth’s voice as a resonant filter inside her mouth, transforming her singing into sculpted sound.

NETZWERK KONNAKOL DEUTSCHLAND
Teaching and Researching advanced carnatic rhythm techniques
Our diverse team, based in Essen (NRW), brings together outstanding performers, composers, and transdisciplinary collaborators. Together, we explore and teach how fundamental and complex rhythmic structures can be deeply understood and creatively shaped through South Indian vocal counting techniques (Konnakol / Carnatic rhythm / rhythmic solfège).
We offer both in-person and online seminars at music universities, academies, conservatories, schools, and conferences. In 2018, Anushaant Nayinai Wijayan (co-founder of T.C. Fine Arts Academy Germany) and Johannes Winkler (composer and media artist) founded the Netzwerk Konnakol Deutschland, developing educational materials, videos, and a modular course system tailored to the needs of Western musicians, composers, conductors, dancers, and music educators — inspired in part by Rafael Reina’s PhD work at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.
