From staging concerts in brutalist buildings -most notably Cologne’s St. Gertrud Church—to developing new technical setups such as spatial audio and collaborating with international artists, our work explores the interplay between sound and space.

At the heart of our practice is the understanding of brutalist architecture not merely as a backdrop, but as an active agent within our events. The raw materiality of concrete, its structure and its acoustic presence become directly tangible experiences.

Through this approach, we have established a format that bridges pop and club culture, experimental music and theoretical reflection, opening up new connections and engaging diverse audiences.
