HxH is an improvisatory electro-acoustic duo of Lester St. Louis and Chris Williams. The duo utilizes a mix of trumpet, cello and electronics to build worlds traversing through acoustic sound, grainy textures, expansive pools of sounds, breaks, cuts and beats. We’ve developed these varied sound worlds through live performance, studio recording, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The Ancient Instruments of the Future is Maxime Hourani’s new electroacoustic project—an éloge to postmodernism, fusing classical and extended string playing techniques with modular synthesis to shape evolving melodies that ground one in a quiet ease with doubt and scepticism. Hourani is a multidisciplinary artist currently in residence with Pro Helvetia at Kaserne Basel. His sonic impressions often mirror the landscapes in transformation that he encounters in his speculative surveys of contested sites. |
| Description | Acousmo is a concert and sound art series focused on intentional listening. It offers a space for concentrated engagement with live sound and aims to counter the fast and superficial consumption of music. In this cycle, Acousmo introduces a new format: each evening begins with two solo performances by musicians or sound artists that are curated by the community. These are followed by an improvised set where both artists perform together. The program concludes with DJ sets. |
