Wolfgang Seidel



Born in 1949 in West Berlin in the last weeks of the blockade of the city by the Soviet army, Wolfgang Seidel has been heavily involved with the music scene in Berlin since he started playing drums in rock bands as a teenager. In the late 1960s he found himself in the vicinity of Joseph Beuys’ student Conrad Schnitzler and the Zodiak Free Arts Lab, one of the cradles of the music which would later get the label “Krautrock”. He played in Conrad Schnitzler’s group Eruption, an experimental unit which looked for new sounds and new forms of musical interaction. In 1970, Seidel was among the founders of Ton Steine Scherben, one of the first bands to combine rock music with the German language. From 1980 on, Seidel brought the experience of rock music and free improvisation together in groups such as Popular Mechanics and in collaboration with Alfred Harth. Today he is active in Berlin’s thriving Echzeitmusik and free improvisation scenes as a drummer and synthesizer player.

Zsolt Sőrés



Zsolt Sőrés (Budapest, 1969) is a "sonic ontologist", experimental music composer, improviser (five-string viola and electronics), sound and intermedia artist. Sőrés has been one of the longest active and inescapable figures of the Hungarian experimental music and sound art scene for more than 30 years. His music and sound art explores the possibilities of conceptual-meta-music electro-acoustic free improvisation and the "flux" nature of sound as a material and the 21st century possibilities of the objet sonore concept. Current projects: Ahad (solo), Liz Allbee - Matthias Koole - Zsolt Sőrés trio, Werner Zappi Diermaier's faust, Inconsolable Ghost (with Hilary Jeffery, Gideon Kiers and others), Un-garians (with André Vida), Isabel Anders - Victor Laju - Zsolt Sőrés trio, collaborations with Anla Courtis (Reynols), Franz Hautzinger, Nicola Hein, Christian Kobi, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Ute Wassermann and Organza Ray (Hilary Jeffery, Eleni Poulou), among others. In 2020, he set up his own record label, Hinge Thunder. In 2014, Sőrés curated the first international sound installation art exhibition in Hungary, entitled On the Edge of Perceptibility - Sound Art, at the Kunsthalle in Budapest. He was a recipient of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Programme (Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD) 2021 grant for sound art and music, and has since been living and working in Berlin.
