Julian Maier-Hauff

Multi-instrumentalist Julian Maier-Hauff moves effortlessly between jazz, electronic music, and improvised sound art. The Mannheim-based musician is one of the most exciting boundary-pushers on the German music scene.

In his solo project, Maier-Hauff creates a live soundscape that emerges entirely in the moment—no pre-recorded tracks, no safety net. Every note is improvisation; every transition is an immediate reaction to the space, the atmosphere, and the audience. His solo format is perhaps the most direct expression of his musical vision: spontaneous creativity, maximum freedom, and a sound that brings electronic music back to life.

Using trumpet, saxophone, trombone, synthesizers, drum machines, and analog electronics, he crafts hypnotic soundscapes that blend house, ambient, jazz, and experimental electronica. Spherical textures meet driving patterns; fragile melodies meet pulsating grooves. The result is a continuous musical flow that is constantly transforming yet feels organic.

A concert by Julian Maier-Hauff is not a traditional performance, but an open-ended sonic journey—at times meditative and expansive, at times rhythmic and ecstatic. Music that is not merely reproduced, but created in that very moment.
