*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.

*Trio: Max Gausepohl (Elektronik), Jeanne Lavalle (Fagott), Elena 
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.

*AUSKLANGFESTIVAL*

*Sun, 28.12.2025, 21:00 Uhr*

*Das unpreetzise Klanglabor
*(Der Name verpflichtet.)

Das unpreetzise Klang-Labor is a duo, as the name suggests, from Preetz 
near Kiel.
It consists of Greta and Wolfgang Neven and has been around since 2006.
For the performance, we will use the following instruments:

Greta: Laptop, miscellaneous items
Wolfgang: Bass, sound box with bow, metal parts (no objects), 
miscellaneous items

We have chosen the working title “Rust n' Peace.”
We will remain true to our style, an improvised mixture of ambient 
industrial, electro-acoustic, and musique concrète.

Most of the HörBar audience still knows Wolfgang under his solo project 
name Y-Ton-G.

*Sasha Iliashenko und Junya Fujita
*(Improvisation mit analoger und mit digitaler Synthese)

Sasha Iliashenko and Junya Fujita have been working as a duo since 2021, 
positioning themselves between the contexts of contemporary art and music.
Many of their sound-based projects use real-time improvisation. 
Electronic sounds of different origins collide directly, with Junya 
Fujita working with analog synthesis and Sasha Iliashenko with digital.

They are currently recording their first studio album with the working 
title “Amateur.” Since the artists met at art school and began exploring 
improvisation together, the themes of learning, error, and 
experimentation are central to this work. Their performance at the 
Ausklangfestival will be a presentation of their recently developed 
sound palette, offering a preview of the upcoming album. The duo has 
presented their work and given concerts at various festivals, museums, 
galleries, and cellars in Hamburg. These include: Museum für Kunst und 
Gewerbe, Blurred Edges Festival for Contemporary Music, BEEK, University 
of Music and Theater, University of Fine Arts, and Kulturhaus 73.

*Jetzmann/Tietchens
*(Flächen & Pulse)

New! This has never happened before.

Asmus Tietchens and Jetzmann, who have been doing radio together for 
ages, never thought of performing live together.
But then, when the opportunity arose for HÖRBAR to have the 
AUSKLANGFESTIVAL 2025 organized by the old members once again, probably 
for the very last time, the increasingly flat pulse of the two gentlemen 
beat once more with almost its old strength.
The concept was born: Tietchens creates the atmospheres, Jetzmann the 
pulses.

*F.K. Raeithel*
(Elektroakustische Studien)

F.K. Raeithel conducts electroacoustic studies. His Musique Concrete 
operetta “Die Wurlitzerorgel Des Geistes” (The Wurlitzer Organ of the 
Mind), released on Sozialistischer Plattenbau, was followed by the LP 
“Dancing With Uncertainty,” which focused on interlocked rhythm sample & 
hold music as the main subject of his studies.

F.K. Raeithel most recently produced music as an engineer with Michaela 
Melian and, in a more pop-oriented vein, with Frau Kraushaar. He runs 
the record label Sozialistischer Plattenbau and has long been known in 
the obscure world of electronic functional and dance music as Istari 
Lasterfahrer, from which he has recently split off as Prince Istari in 
the direction of dub. Current projects include the avant-garde punk trio 
PAF and the field research and sound conjuring project Demo Dandies.

On the evening of Ausklangfestival, the strand of “Dancing With 
Uncertainty” will be taken up again and an attempt will be made live to 
bring something unexpected into a rigid series of music using an 
electronic sound generation system.
