Hörbar: bandschlupf / Trio Lavalle, Khurgina, Gausepohl
bandschlupf bandschlupf present their new album Permaton with a concert at Hörbar. Their music moves between drone, ambient, noise, and even traces of folk and breakbeats. It is created with custom Max/MSP patches, a bowed mountain banjo, synthesizers, field recordings, and curious sound devices. Each performance unfolds in real time, shaped by improvisation and chance. Permaton is based on 4-track tape recordings made during the concert installation Klippklappklub at Galerie La Døns in Hamburg’s Gängeviertel. A limited tape edition of the album will be available at the Hörbar concert. They have previously released music on microrama records (Paris, FR) and independently, created sound works for exhibitions in Hamburg and Berlin, and performed at the Blurred Edges Festival, the Chaos Computer Club, and in various clubs across Hamburg and Italy, among other places. bandschlupf are Tim Ertl and Stefan Troschka. http://bandschlupf.net Trio: Max Gausepohl (Elektronik), Jeanne Lavalle (Fagott), Elena Khurgina (Cembalo) The composition “Konversationen ohne Worte” (Conversations Without Words) is an ongoing dialogue between harpsichord, bassoon, and live electronics. Plucked strings and the warm wooden timbres of the bassoon encounter digital modulations that pick up, stretch, fragment, and weave their sounds into a multi-layered soundscape. All instruments respond to each other and take turns playing the role of initiator. The synthesized sounds of the electronics are also picked up, mirrored, or continued by the harpsichord and bassoon. The idea of dialogue is central: questions and answers lose their clear assignment, analog and digital intertwine in a joint performance. Sounds overlap, separate, and find each other again. The dynamics and gestures of the performance give rise to a wordless rhetoric, meaning and semantics form tone sequences and their relationships, and dialogue emerges in the interplay of the three instruments. Thus, “Conversations Without Words” becomes a sonic exploration of communication—a space in which interpretation, connotation, and controversy become audible.
