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 Nosferatu (1922), the silent horror classic directed by F. 
W. Murnau. Due to copyright issues, the film was an unofficial 
adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula and remains one of the most 
influential works of early cinema. Most of its original score, composed 
by Hans Erdmann, has been largely lost to time, making Nosferatu a 
compelling canvas for contemporary musicians to reinterpret. In its 
original screenings, the film was accompanied by a live orchestra —a 
practice that ECOllective Ensemble continues, bringing a modern 
sensibility to this historic tradition. Their improvisations become a 
fleeting dialogue with the film, offering sound as speech, breath, and 
shadow.

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

Liebe Grüße and see you at Hörbar!
