HKM+

Bio:

..
„[...] the "present" constitutes the distributed musical material, in which the "new" implies the "past", with which the "yet to come" has to have a mutual background with [...]“

HKM+ is an ensemble for electroacoustic improvisation which consists of ludger hennig - software instruments, christof knoche - bass clarinet / electronics and markus markowski - prepared guitar/ software instruments. originally formed as a trio, the ensemble extends its line-up by guest musicians to allways renew its musical language expressed in the ensembles name by a +/plus.

the ensemble extends musical improvisation with electroacoustic instruments that are connected to a network based on audiosignals and network communication. the aim of this project is to create transient- and spatial situations in this musical network through improvised musical articulation.

the musical material of each of the performers is distributed to each of the clients of the improvisation network. the transformation of the sounds is realized by self-programmed electroacoustic instruments. an electroacoustic language arises in which the musical vocabulary and musical gesture is affected, influenced, and manipulated by each of the participating soloists.

for concerts, the ensemble is positioned in the middle of the space. a multiple loudspeaker setup is positioned around the ensemble or arranged acousmatically within the space.

by spatialisation of the sounds through multiple loudspeaker configurations, each soloist is enabled to use different methods to project the sounds into the space. spatialisation becomes part of musical improvisation & improvised spaciousness.
