SUMMARY:Acousmo: HxH\, Maxime Hourani
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 20:30\nConcerts: 21:30 \nAddress: Allmendstrasse 93\, 8041 Zürich \, Halle D\, First Floor  \nAcousmo 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.  \n  \n \n  \nHxH (NY) \nHxH 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 approach is conceived as an expansiveness that holds a personal intimacy. HxH wants to bring the listeners in\, tune them to the experience and take a long trip. HxH functions as a vehicle to bring together the mass of references and influences Chris and Lester share and create ways to crystalize those ideas in real\, expanded time to an experience over minutes or hours. Along with creating their own body of original music\, the duo also work as sound and installation designers; collaborating with other artists and institutions. \n  \n  \n \nMaxime Hourani\, The Ancient Instruments of the Future \n\n 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. \nsoundcloud\ninstagram

SUMMARY:Acousmo: Aya Metwalli\, Tapiwa Svosve\, Rohan Zhou-Lee
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 21:00\nConcerts: 21:30 \nAddress: Allmendstrasse 93\, 8041 Zürich \, Halle D\, First Floor \nAcousmo 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. \n \nAya Metwalli (BE) \nAya Metwalli (b. 1988) is a vocalist who spits the anguish out. A cat with a broken tail born of Cairo’s heat and smog. She grew up in noise that gnaws at your bones. Car horns punch like brass knuckles. Shouting vendors wake the dead. Busted loudspeakers burst out discordant calls to prayer like orchestras that never tune. The piano offered her a different kind of melody\, but the guitar taught her how to bleed and write for the loners and the lost. Then she traded strings for static\, turning melancholic musings into gut-wrenching lament. The Guardian called her “something of a musical enigma”. Pitchfork praised her “spellbinding brand of anti-pop”. What you hear is a woman who stitched herself back together with her teeth. She takes the stage\, and it’s a spine-reveal spectacle that might disturb you a little\, but damn if it doesn’t leave you mesmerised. \n  \n \nTapiwa Svosve (ZH) \n(born 1995) is a saxophonist and electroacoustic musician living and working in Zurich and London. He has released work through Graham Dunning’s Open Sound Group net label and Raw Tonk Records\, and was part of “The Tomorrow People“ exhibition at the Elevator Gallery in 2013. He is especially interested in the relations between sound and space and the electronic and/or physical manipulation and abstraction of acoustic sounds\, creating different overlapping layers of small electroacoustic systems.  \n \nPoems by Rohan Zhou-Lee\, gender identity Firebird\, is an international award-winning Black Asian dancer\, trumpeter\, writer\, and public speaker\, with publications\, performances\, and presentations delivered in The United States\, Canada\, Switzerland\, and Japan. In 2023\, they became the first mixed race Black Asian Open City fellow for journalism at the Asian American Writers’ Workshop. Publications can be read on Hyperallergic\, Reckon News\, Newsweek\, and more. They published\, performed\, and received commissions for poetry at Luya Chicago\, Soar Over Hate\, Anathema Magazine (Canada)\, The 2024 Asian Asian American Research Institute at CUNY\, and the 2022 Unite Festival (Zürich\, Switzerland\,) and recently premiered their ballet poem Sandra | Song at the 2025 Aktionstage enough Festival. They are the founder of the Blasian March\, a Black-Asian-Blasian solidarity organization\, which began during the Black and Asian political upheavals of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through protests\, free book fairs\, and performing arts\, Blasian March has earned several awards\, including a certificate from New York City’s Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. Zhou-Lee has spoken on human rights at Harvard University\, Columbia University\, New York University\, Oberlin College\, the 2022 Enough Festival in Zürich\, Switzerland\, The University of Tokyo\, as a keynote speaker at Yale University\, and more.

He is currently active in the improved and electronic music scenes mainly in Switzerland\, and is working in collaboration with labels such as Attenuation Circuit (Augsburg)\, Endtitles (Zürich). \nSharon Chan \nSharon Chan is a Hong Kong-born performer working across music and theatre\, with a particular focus on the theremin. She has studied the instrument under Carolina Eyck since 2022 and brings a strong physical presence shaped by her training in physical theatre. Collaborating closely with composer Charles Kwong\, Chan explores new possibilities of sound and performance\, developing a distinctive stage language that weaves together movement\, embodiment and experimental music. \nCharles Kwong (ZH / CHN) \nPhoto by Chee (IG @chaurism) \nCharles kwong is a composer from Hong Kong whose practice approaches music as collective experiential situations – within\, but also beyond\, listening and sounds.His creative output spans orchestral music\, collaborations with performers across diverse musical cultures\, site-specific and transdisciplinary projects that depart from the conventional concert paradigm\, and the exploration of performativity in electronic sound synthesis. Rituals\, fictionality\, chaotic systems\, nonhuman temporality\, social ordering in performances\, and intertextuality and hauntology arising from classical forms are some recurring core preoccupations that underpin his creative process and agenda across different media. \nKwong’s music has been featured at festivals such as Lucerne Forward\, Ultraschall Berlin\, Takefu\, Ticino Musica\, La Roque d’Anthéron\, Marvão and ManiFeste. Recent commissioners include the Lucerne Festival\, Takefu International Music Festival\, Hong Kong Sinfonietta\, Ensemble Recherche\, Hong Kong New Music Ensemble\, Tai Kwun Contemporary\, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Acousmo: Marina mello\, Khabat Abbas
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 20:30\nConcerts: 21:30 \nAddress: Allmendstrasse 93\, 8041 Zürich \, Halle D\, First Floor \nAcousmo 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. \n  \n Photo by Philip Frowein\nMarina mello (ZH) \nMarina Mello is a Brazilian harpist based in Zurich with a wide range of experience as a musician. She has developed a unique and very expressive style through the harp and its infinite possibilities. In this sense\, she presents her artistic journey\, mainly researching new sound textures through paradoxes between emptiness and noisy textures\, and harmonic and random-spontaneous vertical sounds. Focusing on non-traditional ways of playing – with extended technique\, prepared instrument and with effect pedals (hybrid\, acoustic and electric harps)\, Marina believes that as a woman and a harpist there are many stereotypes and expectations that can and should be disrupted. In 2022\, she graduated with honors with a Master’s degree at ZHdK (Zurich University of arts) under the guidance of Professor Sarah O’Brien (classical harp)\, Lucas Niggli (improvisation practices)\, Ariana Savall (renascence music) and Charlotte Hug (transdisciplinary practices). \n  \n  \n Photo by Joe Christman\n  \nKhabat Abbas(LDN) \nKhabat Abas is a cellist\, composer\, and interdisciplinary artist from Kurdistan-Iraq. Her work investigates time\, space\, and memory through music\, and noise. She is particularly interested in how we experience sound within different geopolitical contexts. Abas pushes the boundaries of her instrument—improvising\, composing\, producing videos and sound installations\, building cellos from unconventional materials\, and incorporating the body as an instrument. Through this practice\, she fuses politics with the personal\, challenging dominant values and systems of control.
