Michael Haren­berg is a com­pos­er, musi­col­o­gist and media sci­en­tist  and DAAD Edgard Varèse guest pro­fes­sor at the Audio Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Group at the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty Berlin. His work focus­es on dig­i­tal sound cul­ture, exper­i­men­tal inter­faces, and com­po­si­tion­al mod­els of vir­tu­al­i­ty of the dig­i­tal. He cre­ates vir­tu­al instru­ments, stress­ing on their sounds but also on the aes­thet­ics and new pos­si­bil­i­ties of musi­cal expres­sion. This also includes the bod­ies and actions of the musi­cians. How do they move the music and vice ver­sa ? What hap­pens, when the rela­tion­ship between sound, struc­ture, body and per­for­mance is no longer pre­de­ter­mined but open to the unob­struct­ed deci­sions of the players ?

The sound artist Frank Fiedler teach­es per­cus­sion at the Freie Musikschule Berlin and is part of var­i­ous ensem­bles and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary projects. In his music he focus­es on the inter­face between archa­ic or rit­u­al sound-things and the free play of the insist­ing sound explor­er who is lost in thought : a fool in the res­o­nance between sound­ing and doing.
