A piece by Laura Bowler
Exploring the idea of our ever growing tribalist society, this work draws focus on our desires to self advertise in order to ensure our place in our chosen tribes in the virtual and real life. The work will exist as a series of semi-autobiographical adverts, drawing from several key political and social experiences that can determine one’s tribe.
Performed by Decoder Ensemble, Iñigo Giner Miranda (piano)
Tattoo Artist: Julia Rehme

Decoder @ Ultraschall Berlin, Dissociated Press

„Dissociated Press” by Leopold Hurt @ Ultraschall Festival Berlin
„Dissociated Press” is a concert-length cycle of compositions by Leopold Hurt, that began their creation in 2017. The instrumentation ranges from solo pieces with electronics to a septet – specifically conceived for the characteristic instrumentation of the Decoder Ensemble, with the guest speaker Heinrich Horwitz. Dissociated Press – as a pun on „Associated Press“ – utilizes an AI algorithm for automatic text generation based on known speech patterns. The cycle elaborates on this technique, exploring different approaches to the idea of “remix-ing“, both musically and with language. With variations of the material, sliding between original, copy, mashup and faking, the perception gradually shifts.
Musicians: Decoder Ensemble
Speaker: Heinrich Horwitz
Duration: approx. 60 minutes
