WAVES in the workshop: An evening between fragility, resonance and eruptive energy
On September 20, 2026, the trio WAVES from Cologne brings its distinctive blend of experimental music, electroacoustic improvisation and sonic boundary exploration to the workshop in Gelsenkirchen. Three musicians, three precise handwriting, an open sound lab: Here the violin meets effects, electronics meet computer, voice meets prepared strings and spontaneous interaction.
Sound as movement
WAVES work with open forms and extended playing techniques. Instead of clear song structures, a concert experience unfolds that lives from microscopic shifts, rhythmic condensations, and atmospheric planes. The result feels like a constantly breathing organism: sometimes delicate and fragile, sometimes dense and eruptive, always in motion.
Between electronics and acoustic tension
The lineup of Zuzana Leharová, Eva Pöpplein and Hanna Schörken opens an unusual tension space. Analog and digital soundscapes intertwine with vocal textures and expanded violin sounds to create a sound that eludes any definiteness. Especially in the live atmosphere of the workshop, this fine balance between intimacy and explosion should have a particularly immediate effect.
A place for demanding live music
The workshop is known as a traditional cultural venue with a club atmosphere and closeness to the audience. For a project like WAVES, this is the ideal stage: no distance, no pomp, but direct presence, precise acoustics and room for concentration. Those who appreciate contemporary music, improvisation, and interdisciplinary sound art will experience an evening of high artistic density here.
Conclusion: A concert for open ears
WAVES promise no ordinary concert, but an intense listening experience between noise, resonance, and musical freedom. Anyone who wants to engage with unusual sound language, fine dynamics and great emotional range should experience this evening live.
