Sub_Bar Leipzig: Music for Subfrequencies

Sub_Bar returns to Leipzig with an immersive event series at Zimmt e.V. and Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig: after events in Berlin, Köln, Lisbon and Porto, we are back with our pioneering concept around subfrequencies and haptic art, a language that allows deaf, hearing impaired and hearing people to experience music in the same way.

Ignored by compositional practices, our sense of "touch" is home to our most profound memories and most instinctive reactions, talking a language of pain and pleasure, traumas and comfort, summer and winter. What happens when we stimulate it with music? We invited hearing, hearing impaired, and deaf artists to create original works (subworks) using only subfrequencies, more specifically, frequencies between 30hz and 150hz: their compositions will be played through a powerful subwoofer system, transforming ZiMMT into a musical pressure room, for a unique listening experience that activates the whole body.

On Thursday 24th and Friday 25th we'll host a 2-days workshop at Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig, led by Franziska Kastner aka Bocu, one of Sub_Bar artists, discovering music for subfrequencies using haptic devices and Ableton Live.

On Saturday 26th we will be showcasing more and new works from artists such as Ümit Han (Traum Records), Alexander Tillegreen (Raster Media), Akka Miau (Female:Pressure), Alejandro Mosso (Sushitech), Julia Lema (ESA-Aix) and many more.

On Sunday 27th we'll close our event with 5 live concerts from Ana Bogner, Atelier Francesco, Peter Kirn, Stefanie Egedy and Tinkah.

Expect an immersive, challenging, and inclusive experience while subfrequencies pass through your body and invite your focus to go deep down, where you hardly ever went, lead by the artistic excellence of our artists.
