Hainbach - Full Set (Art School Live)

We were humbled and overjoyed to welcome ‪@Hainbach‬ to the ‪@schoolofdigitalarts‬ earlier in the year. Watch his full set here in full 4K.

Based in Berlin, electronic music composer and performer Hainbach creates shifting audio landscapes THE WIRE called "One hell of a trip". Hainbach came to Manchester in March 2022 to film a show in one of our studios at the School of Digital Arts. With support from ondes Martenot player Josh Semans.

At the end of the night, Hainbach and Josh decided to do an improvised encore together. They had never played before, and settled on the motto 'From Above' as a jumping off point. This is their improv in full.

This is part of the Art School Live (https://www.artschoollive.co.uk) project run out of the Manchester School of Art. Visit the website to see our previous shows/videos.

HAINBACH

Based out of Berlin, Germany, electro-acoustic composer and “that guy with the sweaters” Hainbach creates experimental music that is both visceral and whimsical. Using esoteric synthesizers, test equipment and magnetic tape he creates one hell of a trip in his improvised live sets. He shares techniques on experimental music on his YouTube channel, which has attracted a regular audience of over 100000 subscribers. His music has been released on Seil Records, Opal Tapes, SA Recordings and misc.works.

JOSH SEMANS

"Josh Semans is an ondes Martenot player, composer, and producer based in the north-west of England. His work is uniquely textured, employing a range of instruments, sound-sources, and processes. A keen improviser, his creative process is a cocktail of exploration, repetition, and abstraction. He works tirelessly to bring the ondes Martenot - one of the earliest electronic musical instruments, invented by French cellist and wartime radio operator Maurice Martenot - to new audiences, and is a fierce advocate for the preservation, proliferation, and publication of the unique and tragically seldom-heard musical instrument."
