RENT live

Rent ist the pseudonym of artist and ecologist Katrin Euller. Rent’s sounds refer to industrial ecosystems, interconnections, dark landscapes and their stories and the stories of those who inhabit these places. At the same time, it is the processes of sound creation itself that emerge in Rent’s compositions: sounds influence each other, reinforce each other, cancel each other out, dissolve and become noise, sound like the city, a car alarm for example. Then everything gets lost in the fog again.

STURMHERTA live

STURMHERTA is a sound artist and experimental musician whose work delves into the boundaries of resonance, minimalism, and sonic complexity. His practice is rooted in exploration and experimentation, using both digital and physical resonators to transform simple audio inputs into intricate soundscapes. STURMHERTA’s approach often blurs the lines between digital synthesis, physical acoustics, and the natural behavior of feedback, resulting in performances and recordings that are as much about process as they are about the final sound.

Feelx’ sets intuitively navigate from minimal, hypnotic to acid house, featuring spaced-out progressive trance, or funky, raw electro on the way. Channeling trippy, and laid-back vibes that thrive on deep grooves, melodic basslines, bleep, and outer-space synths, he draws you fully in the zone.
