Five String Sculpture is a composition/sound sculpture exploring the disposition of two different acoustic (geometric) formations - one long, straight and slightly angled and another smaller one in a convex shape. Each structure is built from the combination of electronic and acoustic sound that spreads between loudspeaker at one end, and acoustic sound of the instrument at another end. To explore the idea of an electro-acoustic piece in which sound can propagate into various directions and can be localised in a couple of fixed
configurations, I have defined 5 “strings” of sound each between one instrument and one loudspeaker, and I have used this to delineate the acoustic space of the work. “String" is therefore the main structural unit of the piece and their activation and
musical treatment, shape the overall form of the work.

"Through the Trance Dance Experience, hopefully people become more sensitive and aware of themselves, their surroundings, the crossroads of humanity, and the needs of the planet. With that awareness comes understanding and compassion. That is the need of the hour, and the True Goa Spirit,, Goa Gil

Ulrich Langenbach is a German artist and composer, improviser, artist and sound researcher / e-cello, viola, guitar

Ulrich Langenbach is a visual artist and improvisational musician whose work is characterised by a continuous investigation of unintentional aesthetics and interdisciplinary approaches. His artistic practice includes installations, texts and performances, which invite the viewer into an immediate and impartial confrontation with space, material and sound.

At the centre of his visual art are extensive installations that challenge your perception with minimalist forms, materials and structures.

His text works combine literary precision with visual openness and often pose questions around the meaning and function of language.

As an improvisational musician, Langenbach is devoted to non-idiomatic music, a way of playing that moves beyond established styles and focuses on the moment of sound occurring. His performances emerge in the space between intention-free experimentation and intuitive expression, and lead to unique soundscapes that deliberately leave behind traditional genre boundaries.

His multi-award-winning work, which has been shown in numerous international galleries and museums, throws new light on the disciplines of art and music and offers pioneering impulses. It stands for the power of having no intention and for liberation from conventional expectations. It invites you to experience space, sound and text in a new dimension.

Michael (b. 1999) is a composer of acoustic, acousmatic and electroacoustic music. Internationally acclaimed for his implementation of electroacoustic and aleatoric concepts in both acoustic and electronic musical paradigms. At the core of his current music research, he explores the poly-holophonic gestural synchronicities and tensions between voices through quasi-procedural granulations, spectromorphological sonic sculpting, stochastic algorithmic modelling, machine-learning decisional procedures and generative synthesis.
 
In 2022, he was the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow at Hong Kong Baptist University investigating the topic Motion Driven Human Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Music Composition and Performing System. He was selected for residency at the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble as part of the CoLab: Sonic-Visual Interplay project in 2023. At the São Paulo Contemporary Composers Festival in the Summer of 2024, Scrawling Palimpsest premiered with L’Arianna Quarteto. In the Luigi Nono Summer School at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent), he attended seminars and masterclasses extensively on Nono’s music and historically informed electronic practices by Jonathan Impett and Juan Parra Cancino.
 
Michael has studied composition extensively with Kenneth Hesketh, Alison Kay, Christopher Keyes and Stylianos Dimou, and has taken specialist IRCAM courses with Simone Conforti on electroacoustic music.
