"... In the indifferent brutality, incessant noise, the experimental chemistry of food, the ravings of lost hysterical men, I can act with clarity and meaning..." (Sam Melville). The KlangrauschenKollektiv performs the iconoclastic work "Coming Together" by Frederic Rzewski from 1972, alongside telepathic improvisations.

KlangrauschenKollektiv is formed by students and professors or the music academy Lübeck. ​

Bobby Conn and Monica BouBou are excited to return to the Avantgarde Festival for their first European performance since 2017! They will debut electronic based music from the new album "Bobby's Place" coming in August 2025 on Tapete Records, featuring modular synths, violin, guitar and vocals. Despite the dark shadow of Fascism spreading across the USA and the world in general, Bobby remains absurdly optimistic. He has been warning us about the danger of complacency in the face of tyranny with a twinkle in his eye and a catchy tune for 30 years; he's not stopping now!The times get heavy, but Bobby is staying weird!

A trinity of finely-tuned triggers with the build of a gently moody cyclops, whose autopsy will reveal traces of pure lyrical emphasis beneath the steaming crumbs of flonflons pulverized by a ferocious groove.

The duo Machineries is a collaboration between synthesizer sorceresses Mustelide and Chikiss, who conjure their machines to craft soundscapes of electro-baroque and dystopian fantasy fiction. The concept took root after discovering the 1984 book "The Creative Computer" abandoned on the streets of Berlin, which is dedicated to proto-AI technologies, but in a more romantic and human way. Touching visual canvases and poems composed by the machines of that era inspired the artists to turn to the machines of this time for new stories. A kind of synthesis of the past & future, a scenario of cosmic chaos, krautrock passages, and web-disco revelations.

Saeko navigates these in between sounds using signposts from her dreams, guided through the space-time distortion loops as if by a vision. The true meaning of this vision might not be immediately clear - but who minds, when the search for that meaning sounds this good?

Time suspended as shapes and forms escape. Lights fades with erosion. Perception of altered visions. Secret sonic vapour trails envelop and shred horizons. Melting shadows outline forms. Stars black out light. Corrupted as time folds away.

Movement. Sound. Lies.
Solitude.
Space and time respond.
Touched.

What would our existence look like if sound was our primary interface with reality? Imagine growing up in a culture that doesn’t think visually but acoustically. How would you perceive landscapes if you hadn't first learned to dissect them by looking? You hear during the day and at night, you perceive things long before you can see them, and while you can look away, you cannot stop hearing.
WaveRoom is a hyperspace in which the continent of Europe is rendered as a phonogram. Space and time contract to such an extent that the landmass fits into an attic. The 24 hours of a day condense into 24 minutes.
Ole Blank has created a composition of field recordings captured during a 30,000-kilometer road trip along the coastline surrounding the European continent. This composition will be presented in a specially designed sound dome.

"Imagine That Light Is A Fish" is an absurdity, the snake eating its tale. Straight from the human cavity – the ultimate black hole – the great Cosmic Mouth sings its tune!

“The only rule we follow is that there’s no wrong way to create,” says Karó. “We’re obsessed with trying new things and finding more extreme ways to come up with sounds.” “It’s like our music is a world we’ve made for ourselves, as a way to keep exploring new sounds and new ideas,” Hrabba adds. “Nothing is ever a mistake; it’s about having fun and doing what we want and fucking everything up if that feels right. Rebelliousness is definitely a big part of what drives us.”

It is a testament to the past, to desecrated presents, and to the sacred horizon that is the future...
The unchanging future which is always hope of change.
