*Hörbar: Arrival Cities: Hanoi*

Arrival Cities: Hanoi is an innovative fusion of music theatre and 
documentary film. This experimental work, created through a 
collaboration between director Jörgen Dahlqvist, composer Kent Olofsson, 
and the ensemble The Six Tones (Ngô Trà My, Nguyen Thanh Thủy, and 
Stefan Östersjö), explores the stories of migrants in Hà Nội.
The piece blends composed music with improvisation, while the 
documentary features interviews with rural-urban migrants, focusing on 
the lives of street vendors—primarily women—who balance work in the city 
with family life in the countryside. Central to the narrative is the 
story of Lưu Ngọc Nam, a Tuồng actor and costume maker, whose journey 
from the countryside to Hà Nội reflects the city’s rich cultural tapestry.
Arrival Cities: Hanoi is a poetic reflection on migration, memory, and 
the vibrant connections between tradition and modernity.

David Wallraf
David Wallraf is a noise artist and theorist from Hamburg. In their 
audio works they explore the acoustics of the uncanny: Field recordings, 
electromagnetic waves and obsolete audio technology are woven into 
soundtracks for the nightmare of 'capitalist realism'. Since 2013 they 
released about 80 solo works and collaborations. In February 2025, the 
tape album Crudeltá Necessaria will be released on Karlrecords. A 
collaboration with Jena Jang is due to be released on German tape label 
Econore in March. A recent interest has been live scoring of surrealist 
silent films, including works by Luis Buñuel, Maya Deren and Jean Genet.
David’s dissertation on noise, the book Grenzen des Hörens – Noise und 
die Akustik des Politischen (Limits of Hearing – Noise and the Acoustics 
of the Political) has been published in German, an English translation 
is in process.

*Hörbar: Duo Duy Long & Fabian Neubauer / Lovis Determan*

*Duo Duy Long & Fabian Neubauer

The duo embodies a creative approach to music that prioritizes 
spontaneity and freedom above all
else. This open project is built on the philosophy of unpreparedness, 
inviting musicians to step into
a space where traditional expectations—be they instrumental, structural, 
or stylistic—simply do not
exist. It creates an environment that encourages pure improvisation, 
where each performance
becomes a living entity, shaped entirely by the moment and the 
atmosphere at hand.
In this realm of creativity, the music emerges organically, flowing from 
the interplay of sound,
silence, and space. Duy Luong and Fabian Neubauer engage in a profound 
dialogue, responding to
each other's musical impulses while remaining attuned to the nuances of 
the environment around
them. Every performance should be an exploration of the present, a 
reflection of the unique energy
**of the moment, and an opportunity to discover the unexpected.*

Lovis Determan

Lovis Determann lebt seit 2012 in Hamburg und ist als Gitarrist*in und 
Musiktherapeut*in tätig. Nach Beendigung des Bachelorstudiums im Fach 
Jazzgitarre, absolviert Lovis Determann das Musiktherapiestudium (MA) an 
der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg. Nicht nur musikschaffend, 
sondern auch forschend gilt Lovis Determanns Interesse der 
Improvisation. Nach einer explorativen Beschäftigung mit Möglichkeiten 
grafischer Notation, erschließt Lovis Determann für sich ein 
Forschungsfeld, in dem freie Improvisation, Intermedialität und 
Musiktherapie zusammenfließen. Dabei richtet Lovis Determann ein 
besonderes Augenmerk auf intermediale Transformationsprozesse - wie etwa 
zwischen Grafik, Musik und Sprache. Auch als Gitarrist*in entdeckt Lovis 
Determann in der interdisziplinären Begegnung verschiedener Kunstformen 
einen besonderen Reiz. Wie beispielsweise in der performativen Begegnung 
zwischen Musik, Rauminstallation, Licht und Schatten in Zusammenarbeit 
mit der Hamburger Künstlerin Suse Bohse oder in experimentellen 
Zusammentreffen von Musik und öffentlichem Raum mit der Band 
„SirBradley“, in der Lovis Determann festes Mitglied ist und die im 
Oktober 2022 ihr Debütalbum veröffentlicht hat*

*Hörbar: Duo Jena Jang & Sisto Rossi / By Fire*

*Jena Jang

Jena Jang is a South Korean audiovisual artist, experimental musician, 
DIY instrument builder, and performance-based researcher based in 
Prague, Czechia. Their multidisciplinary practice centres on trauma 
healing through the intensity of live performance, focusing on the 
circulation of energy between artist and audience, building affective 
connections with non-human beings, and musically interpreting organic 
structures found in nature.
**Their projects are grounded in field recording, experimental sound, 
and DIY electronics, drawing from diverse interests including urban 
noise, bio-art, birdsong studies, and somatic voice experimentation. 
They explore sound through circuit hacking, hand-soldered instruments, 
audio-reactive live visuals, miniature noise synth development, and the 
creation of recycled sound objects—often reconfiguring children's toys 
or discarded technologies.*

Sisto Rossi

Sisto Rossi might became the keystone of the post industrial 
experimental/noise scene of the Ruhr Area. Originally from Tampa, 
Florida he appeared in western Germany around 2001, with plenty of 
energetic and creative live performances under several aliases. Also 
involved in label and concert activities during all this years, he is 
one of a kind in the so called Ruhr Area (now Hamburg) ever since. His 
work is focused on the research for sounds from gear, which he is also 
building by himself, and the possibilities of body experience through 
sound and room. As a result, Sisto creates a diverse universe of 
performances, depicting his personal physical reactions and thoughts 
about material and environment with his music.
