Hörbar Exchanges V

What is an instrument? How do we invent one or expand the palette of an exciting one? On two days of Hörbar Exchanges V, featuring a workshop and presentation on 24.11 and a three-act evening on the 25.11, we are going to examine precisely that 🔄 🗓️ 25.11 🕢 19:30 📍 Hörbar 🎫 €10-15 ⫸ Adachi Tomomi will present a mixed program combining voice performance with an original physical sensor system, performance with self-made instruments and audience interaction. These elements reflect his consistent focus on the body, language, technology, and society. Tomomi Adachi is a performer/composer, sound poet, instrument builder and visual artist. Known for his versatile style, he has performed his own voice and electronic pieces, sound poetry, improvised music and contemporary music, also presented site-specific compositions, compositions for classical ensembles, choir pieces for untrained musicians all over the world. ⫸ Duo Tam Thi Pham & Nicola Leonard Hein explore the sonic possibilities emerging from the interaction of đàn bầu and electric guitar, extended playing techniques, and electronic sound transformation. Tam Thi Pham expands the expressive vocabulary of the đàn bầu beyond its conventional sonic identity, uncovering a rich spectrum of harmonics, multiphonics, noise, and complex textures. Nicola Leonard Hein approaches the electric guitar as an open system of sonic exploration, employing extended techniques, amplification, and live electronics to transform the instrument into a source of unpredictable timbres and evolving sound structures. ⫸ A tutti as a concluding act, bringing all participating musicians together on stage after they have heard each other's performances. For the first time, they improvise collectively, making an honest attempt to bring their sonic worlds into direct dialogue. Those acts are full of attentive listening, lurking surprises and turbulent tension. 📸 Guillaume Kerhervé, Thắng Lê-Phước, Peter Gannushkin 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 This event is a collaboration between the Multimedia Composition department, HfMT and Hörbar e.V., a part of Hörbar Exchanges, which is funded by the Hamburg Ministry of Culture and Media.
