Hörbar Exchanges
Supported by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Ministry of Culture and Media
The Hörbar Exchanges concert series opens up an experimental space for local sound artists from Hamburg to connect and collaborate with international artists. The series focuses on the mutual sharing of knowledge and music through live performances, installations and workshops.
The second round of the series spotlights contemporary computer music. The evening brings together three distinct artists exploring live physical sound processing and rhythmic structures.
An audio-visual performance offering a critical reflection on modern technology and its wider political implications for society. By utilizing physical rotation parameters, the work actively morphs the observer's angle of focus to alter sonic and visual perception.
A restless and physical electroacoustic performance built upon the metaphor of interpolation. The musical composition draws directly from rapid-fire club music elements like gabber and footwork, fused with non-western microtonal rhythms and repetition loops.
An investigation into the intersection of sound structures, tracking technologies, and political infrastructures. Using a laptop configured with MaxMSP and Ableton Live, the performance delivers an immersive experience utilizing deep sub-bass frequencies and extreme volume changes.
Kicking off the new Hörbar Exchange series! This event features a collaborative boundary-pushing concert dedicated to blending traditional materials with modern real-time electronics.
The trio presents a series of improvisations that engage with traditional Vietnamese music. Using a deconstructive approach, they transform the core structural principles of ancient traditions, such as specific vibrato styles and the distinct modal intonations, into real-time contemporary compositional parameters.
The Six Tones are:Hosted in collaboration with the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (HfMT) and the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU).
Followed by the evening concert: "Traditional music – The gentle touch of Vietnamese culture"
