  • Andrius Arutiunian

    LT/NL

    Working through hybrid forms of sound, Armenian-Lithuanian artist Andrius Arutiunian often employs hypnotic aural structures, non-Western tuning systems, and sonic vernacular.

  • Phillip Sollmann

    DE

    As Efdemin, Phillip Sollman is a mainstay of Berlin techno, but his projects under his own name reveal so much more.

    • The MusicMaker's Hacklab is an intensive weeklong collaborative environment, where Hacklab fellows, selected via open call, experiment and exchange to bring new musical ideas to life. Hacklab fellows present their work at this finale performance.

    What does it mean to get closer again? We face a landscape in which we try to recover intimacy and shared experience after social distancing, but in which geographical distances take on greater meaning. In the spirit of adaptation – personal, artistic, and collaborative – this year’s theme for MusicMakers Hacklab again responds to a crisis around us.

    After a fully virtual year in 2021, this Hacklab takes a first step back into in-person collaboration with an open call for participants based in Berlin. Hacklab fellows are invited to consider intimacy and physical proximity in their Hacklab creations, but also how they might reshape their own artistic identities or local communities/scenes, building unfamiliar selves while remaining in a familiar city/place.

    Following an intensive week of collaboration, 2022 fellows will premiere their new musical ideas and works. The concert will be led by Hacklab co-hosts Ariel William Orah and Peter Kirn.
