Festival BLAUES RAUSCHEN 2026 Tag 10

Sound in transition

Lokal Harmonie in Duisburg is one of the most influential venues for experimental music in the Ruhr region. The intimate concert hall enables a concentrated listening situation in which the finest tonal shifts and spatial resonances can unfold directly.

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.

At the center of the evening are 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 at the same moment.

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