Sound in Transition

The Lokal Harmonie in Duisburg is one of the most influential locations for experimental music in the Ruhr area. The intimate concert hall provides a focused listening environment in which the finest tonal shifts and spatial resonances can unfold immediately.

With Verena Hentschel, Andrea Ermke x Annette Krebs, and the Viennese trio INNODE, three artistic styles come together on this evening that understand sound as a dynamic structure between material, structure, and transformation. Electronic composition, field recordings, self-developed instruments, percussion, and modular synthesis form an open field in which analog and digital processes influence each other.

The evening focuses on states of transition. Sounds emerge from fragments, are condensed, looped, shifted, or destabilized. Noise, rhythm, and electronic textures enter into changing relationships and give rise to structures that dissolve again in the same moment.

The evening is thus exemplary of current developments in experimental music, in which materiality, imperfection, and processuality are coming to the fore.
