Elektramusic, in collaboration with studio dB Berlin, proudly presents the Hybrid Serie – a new concert series dedicated to adventurous listening and sonic exploration.

Blurring the lines between sound art, electroacoustic music, free improvisation, and contemporary composition, Hybrid Serie invites audiences into a space where experimentation thrives and boundaries dissolve. Join us for an ongoing journey through the unexpected, the immersive, and the unheard, with Paul Clouvel, Jena Jang and lixt.

PART 1 -  PAUL CLOUVEL
electroacoustic music & video art
Paul Clouvel is a Berlin-based composer, curator, and producer specializing in experimental music, with a classical background from institutions such as Berklee College of Music (Boston), the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, Sorbonne University and IRCAM (Paris). He is widely recognized for his electroacoustic performances, particularly in spatialized concerts using loudspeaker orchestras. His work has earned him several awards, including the Russolo Composition Prize, a residency from the City of Geneva, and several Performing Right Society Awards. The majority of his work consists of electroacoustic compositions with video and mixed pieces combining instruments with electronic sound.

Clouvel has performed and produced hundreds of concerts worldwide, appearing at venues and festivals such as Diagonale and Crossing Europe Festivals (Linz, Austria), the Sydney Opera House, Strasbourg Opera, WRO Expanded City Festival (Wrocław, Poland), Miami International Film Festival, the Factory in Shenyang (China), Vox Novus and the Unconscious Collective (New York), All Ears Contemporary Music Festival (London), Shut Up and Listen (Vienna) among others. Deeply committed to the sharing and promotion of contemporary sound art, he runs Elektramusic, a record label dedicated to experimental and contemporary music.

PART 2 - JENA JANG
DIY noise improvisation
Jena Jang is a South Korean multidisciplinary artist based in Prague, Czechia. Their work explores trauma healing through high-intensity performances, merging experimental noise, drone, power electronics, chanting, and screaming as forms of sonic detox. Necrocore, a term they coined, describes ritualistic acts that transform pain into raw sound. Live sets feature headbanging, repetition, DIY mini-synthesizers, and piezo mics that capture air vibrations from motor-based objects.

They construct instruments from second-hand Tupperware and cardboard circuits, treating sound as a medium for transformation and circulation. Their practice draws on analog craft, ritual knowledge, immersive theatre, and physical engagement. Jena’s work has been presented at a Chinabot label event with Saadet Türköz at Café OTO, at the Contingent Snapshot event with Udasi and Mia Zabelka during Ars Electronica, and at the Audio Art Festival. A live mix for Noh Radio (Istanbul) was later streamed by Radio Alhara (Bethlehem) and Radio Lora (Zürich).

PART 3 - LIXT
Live sound coding
lixt is an online and offline presence that represents Rafael Bresciani’s research path through the use of live coding as a medium for artistic expression. Brazilian musician, sound designer and former journalist with a master's degree in Net Art and Digital Culture and now a PhD candidate in Artificial Humanity at the Accademia di Belle Arti di SantaGiulia di Brescia (IT), his practice and research focus on the boundaries of media, communication, technology, and sound as part of a transdisciplinary practice.

Bresciani's work addresses themes such as data infrastructure and ethics, post-internet structures of power and mass media industry, searching for a radical approach to technology as a way of understanding the micro-realities ignored by the era of post-truth and machine automatism. In this context, lixt is the practical side of this broader research, an experimental playground created to expose and explore the contemporary crisis of language. Based in Italy and engaged in dialogue with both science and art, Bresciani has participated in exhibitions and performances at venues such as Phonos (Barcelona), C-Base (Berlin), MEET (Milan), and others in Strasbourg, Yekaterinburg, Rome, Bologna, Genoa, Brescia, Pisa, and São Paulo (Brazil).
