in the field of contemporary music today. Her work reaches from the

international voice-collecting-research up to her own works in the

audience.

Hörbar: James Eck Rippie / Rrill Bell / Yuri Akbalkan Doors 19:00, 
concerts 20:00

James Eck Rippie
James Eck Rippie is a musician and visual artist originally from 
Nashville, TN and currently resides in Texas. His work utilizes samples 
manipulated through variations of synthesis, turntable and electronics, 
and often explores the psychological impressions that juxtaposition and 
abstraction procure. Drawing from his extensive experience as a sound 
engineer in the film industry, Rippie infuses his work with aural 
dynamism, crafting compositions that serve as gateways to the 
subconscious narrative, creating what one reviewer noted as "a 
soundtrack to curiosity".

Rrill Bell
Born and raised in the US-American Rust Belt, and a resident of Germany 
for over two-and-a-half decades, Rrill Bell draws on the formative 
inspirations of radical scratch culture, Cagean thought, harmolodics, 
musique concréte and various other strains of experimental music 
practice. Originally rooted in the world of improvisational performance, 
over the past decade his work has expanded to include various hybrid 
approaches to location recording, augmented reality, composition, and 
audio narrative.

Yuri Akbalkan

Yuri Akbalkan is a Russian-born composer and sound artist working in the 
field of multimedia art. After moving between St Petersburg and Cologne, 
he currently resides in Hamburg, where he is conducting artistic 
research on perceptual construction in art at the Hamburg University of 
Music and Drama. In his practice, Akbalkan explores multiple artistic 
disciplines, ranging from instrumental and electroacoustic music to 
improvisation and conceptual theatre.

Hörbar: Bald Bald Trio / Frank Vis Doors 19:00, concerts 20:00

Frank Vis
Frank Vis is a noise musician and improviser from Amsterdam. He is 
making sounds with a modular synthesizer for the last years, focussing 
on making the system an improvisation machine that is able to make quick 
changes that make the voltages fluid. As a vocalist and electronic 
improviser he played with different artists and groups like the FCKN 
BSTRDS and Dagora during the last 20 years, and started the duo Cybine 
Combinations with drummer Marcio Gibson recently. As an organiser he 
initiated the SOTU Festival and related shows running it with friends in 
the Netherlands to fuel the noise & underground movement

Bald Bald Trio
A double emphasis on what is just around the corner? It speaks to the 
idea of something imminent, something almost here, but not quite yet--an 
energy building, a moment just about to arrive. An acknowledgment of the 
space we inhabit while waiting for things to unfold, a space that is 
often filled with both excitement and uncertainty. Together with Hamburg 
scene musicians Joshua Weiß (drums) and Melanie Streitmatter (bass), 
guitarist and composer Pouya Abdi brings to light a trio with new 
compositions, ideas, sounds and colors. With influences including indie, 
blues and world music, but also embodying a great connection to the jazz 
tradition and standards, this band celebrates the joy of playing music 
as well as the love for it. Through wide sound-spheres, childlike 
risk-taking interactions and the use of many different facets of the 
instruments, a new, exciting sound is created with acoustic guitar, 
bells and bows.

Hörbar: ECollective Ensemble
Doors 19:00, concerts 20:00

ECOllective Ensemble is a Hamburg-based group navigating the edges of 
free improvisation, where melody and rhythm serve as anchors amidst 
moments of chaos and abstraction. Over the past two years, the ensemble 
has cultivated a shared language rooted in deep listening, spontaneity, 
and a curiosity for where sound can lead. Their practice embraces both 
structure and unpredictability, resulting in music that feels 
exploratory yet grounded. Collaborations have included acclaimed drummer 
Moritz Baumgärtner at JazzHall Hamburg, and celebrated dancer Annick 
Schadeck for a performance at the Kunsthalle Hamburg. For their 
appearance at Hörbar, ECollective will improvise a live soundtrack to 
film -- a fleeting dialogue between moving images and sound.

Julia Langenbucher (sax), Carmen Kleykens Vidal (cello), Martín Zamorano 
(p), Danica Hobden (git) Joshua Weiß (dr).
