Lullabies for Dinosaurs: Sound performance for voices and electronics

What if creatures from the distant past could still hear us? “Lullabies 
for Dinosaurs” is a sound performance for voices and electronics, 
weaving noisy textures, heartfelt melodies, mysterious drones and bright 
synthesised sounds into imagined songs for beings that have vanished.
Through a fusion of live performance, extended vocal techniques, and 
immersive electronic textures, the work invites audiences into an 
evocative sonic journey, exploring the echoes of lost worlds and 
unrealized possibilities.

*Edith Steyer*

Edith Steyer is an improvising and experimental clarinet and saxophone 
player, deeply embedded in Berlin's Echtzeitmusikszene. Their musical 
interests lie in creating spacy and often noisy soundscapes, built upon 
structure, texture, and form. Transparency and density are key elements 
in their music, achieved through the interplay of individual sonic 
events and layered sound.
A defining characteristic of their practice is the integration of the 
Rumberger pickup, embedded within the clarinet's body. This allows the 
instrument to transcend its traditional role, transforming it into a 
percussive sound source. Steyer employs various preparations and 
extended techniques to construct abstract sound images.
Performing for an audience, armed with their instrument and electronic 
devices, Steyer guides listeners through a journey of improvisation. 
This act of artistic expression is also a form of self-exposure, 
venturing into an uncertain future. Each performance carries the 
inherent risk of failure, mirroring Steyer's personal situation: the 
interplay of inner and outer conditions as a psychological and social 
being, and the inherent insecurity of life itself.

*Pascal Marzan*

Currently living in London, Pascal Marzan performs on a 10 string 
microtonal guitar.
After studying classical guitar – mainly devoted to the twentieth 
century repertoire – and teaching guitar in several music schools in 
Budapest, Hungary and France, Pascal has dedicated himself to free 
improvisation and the exploration of microtonal tunings of his 
instrument. His playing has been influenced by his interest in the folk 
musics of Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa…
He has recorded guitar duets with John Russell, Roger Smith (Emanem 
records) and a trio with Sabu Toyozumi and Dan Warburton (Improvising 
Beings records)…

*KARM / Vincent Dombrowski*

*K A R M*
Michal Wróblewski - alto saxophone and clarinet
Torsten Papenheim - acoustic guitar and objects

KARM is Michal Wróblewski (Prague) and Torsten Papenheim (Berlin). With 
a purely acoustic
setup the duo creates sonic spaces way beyond the familiar sounds of 
their instruments.
Playing in their own strict idiom, KARM focuses on subtle developments, 
creating music that
manages to be both spare and condensed.

KARM has played numerous tours and festival appereances in Germany, 
Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Austria. In spring 2024 the duo toured in Japan.
Their debut CD KRAM was released on Czech label Ma Records in 2022, the 
MC HAKO by KARM and koto player Kohsetsu Imanishi came out on the same 
label in fall 2024.

*Vincent Dombrowski

*In his solo project, Vincent Dombrowski explores the fragile boundary 
between sound, memory, and the moment. Free improvisation on the 
saxophone gives rise to fleeting sound shapes, which the musician 
records live on cassette and then transforms into a dialogical interplay 
with his own past, a duet between the present and the echo.
Through the use of guitar effects, spatial sound, and analog distortion, 
Dombrowski expands the saxophone into a polyphonic, breathing organism. 
His music unfolds between jazz, improvised music, and experimental sound 
art: poetic, unpredictable, and uncompromisingly anchored in the moment.

*bandschlupf / Trio Lavalle, Khurgina, Gausepohl*

*bandschlupf *

bandschlupf present their new album Permaton with a concert at Hörbar.
Their music moves between drone, ambient, noise, and even traces of folk 
and breakbeats.
It is created with custom Max/MSP patches, a bowed mountain banjo, 
synthesizers, field recordings, and curious sound devices.
Each performance unfolds in real time, shaped by improvisation and chance.
Permaton is based on 4-track tape recordings made during the concert 
installation Klippklappklub at Galerie La Døns in Hamburg’s Gängeviertel.
A limited tape edition of the album will be available at the Hörbar concert.
They have previously released music on microrama records (Paris, FR) and 
independently, created sound works for exhibitions in Hamburg and 
Berlin, and performed at the Blurred Edges Festival, the Chaos Computer 
Club, and in various clubs across Hamburg and Italy, among other places.
bandschlupf are Tim Ertl and Stefan Troschka.

Khurgina (Cembalo)
*
The composition “Konversationen ohne Worte” (Conversations Without 
Words) is an ongoing dialogue between harpsichord, bassoon, and live 
electronics. Plucked strings and the warm wooden timbres of the bassoon 
encounter digital modulations that pick up, stretch, fragment, and weave 
their sounds into a multi-layered soundscape. All instruments respond to 
each other and take turns playing the role of initiator. The synthesized 
sounds of the electronics are also picked up, mirrored, or continued by 
the harpsichord and bassoon.
The idea of dialogue is central: questions and answers lose their clear 
assignment, analog and digital intertwine in a joint performance. Sounds 
overlap, separate, and find each other again. The dynamics and gestures 
of the performance give rise to a wordless rhetoric, meaning and 
semantics form tone sequences and their relationships, and dialogue 
emerges in the interplay of the three instruments. Thus, “Conversations 
Without Words” becomes a sonic exploration of communication—a space in 
which interpretation, connotation, and controversy become audible.
