Media artist and musician Ulla Rauter works at the interface between sound and fine art – her works include performative sculptures, music performances and self-built instruments. She performs the human voice as a gesture-controlled electronic instrument using self-built, sensor-based interfaces.

ANGST is a concert-performance in which the audience is invited to laugh, sing along, headbang and dance, an experience that deliberately oscillates between serious and playful moments, between physicality and abstraction, between noise and poetry. The piece embraces contradiction as a structural principle: it is at once a concert, a theatrical performance, a poetry reading and a live experiment in embodied technology.

The collaboration between D'Alessio and Guerrieri brings together live electronics, gestural sound-making, voice, different languages and physical interaction to make a cohesive stage work. At its core lies an exploration of fear as a deeply human, political and simultaneously paradoxical phenomenon.

Luvendr is the project of Alexander Martinz and Marie Reichel. Their sound brings together sample-based, tracker-built beats with an unexpected take on German Schlager, pulling it into the present until its sweetness turns into something more ambiguous. Their debut album, It's Gonna Get Better But First It Will Hurt, once floated through shoegaze textures and heartbreak, carried by English lyrics. Their sound has since shifted and found firmer ground. The vocals move between rap and melody – deep, deliberate, toggling between intimacy and confrontation. With lyrics now in their native language, they feel sharper, more confident and with a hint of playfulness. Luvendr treats genres not as a home but as a set of tools, drawing on hip hop, pop and Schlager as needed. Music that feels comforting and unsettling in equal measure.

What’s Inside a Girl is here to surprise, challenge and seduce. With hypnotic violin lines, retro Casio textures and driving electronic beats, this Viennese trio (Barbis Ruder, Joshua Korn and Roman Gerold) sails a pirate spaceship through pop culture, looting new wave, punk, easy listening, grunge and electro to forge their own entrancing, genre-defying sound.
