Hörbar: Thieß / Ulher & Aulbert / Wegmann & Mahaniranon Doors 19:00 Concerts 20:00 Mahakit Mahaniranon is a Thai composer-performer who plays piano and modular synthesizer. His multifaceted practice combines performance, composition, improvisation, sound of traditional Thai music and electroacoustic elements into an eclectic, individual musical expression. His extensive interest in music results in works that reject stylistic boundaries and seek their own identity mixing ambient, minimalism, noise, free improvisation, Thai traditional, contemporary classical music and experimental electronica. The intensity of his work and his creative process has earned him many opportunities as a solo performer and with ensemble. More info: www.mahakit-m.com Jan Wegmann (*1992 in Stuttgart) is a multimedia artist, composer and performer from Hamburg. Their work focuses on small details, giving them space to unfold and showing overlaps and tensions between different materials. They create drifting structures of layers, sometimes abstract, sometimes ironic, but always combined with the goal of a holistic and concentrated result. Jan’s compositions often have a performative component, exploring the expressive power and presence of a person on a stage or in a performance context. To realize their work Jan combines various influences and skills and uses a multitude of resources, self-programmed software tools, hardware synthesizers, controllers or sensors. They use found material, sounds, videos, texts, or 3D/VR visuals and work together with other artists to create immersive atmospheres that fill the space and challenge the perception of the audience. https://wegmann.digital/ Frauke Aulbert, soprano, extreme vocalist artist and performance artist/composer, is one of the most active and multi-talented vocalists in the field of contemporary music today.

His last performances have taken him to the Spatial Audio Week at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki as well as the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music in Bangkok.
