Sparda-Nacht: Mit Live-Konzerten von Dagobert & LIN.

In the organizer's words:

The Sparda-Bank West Foundation and the HMKV Hartware MedienkunstVerein are once again inviting you to a Sparda Night at the HMKV as part of the Holding Pattern - Warteschleifen und andere Loops exhibition. The highlight of the evening will be the live concerts by Dagobert and LIN, which will be presented directly in the exhibition space.

As a warm-up, speed dates with the artworks will be offered at the beginning of the evening to explore the exhibition. In addition to cold drinks, there will be space for conversation and exchange at the bar - in an endless loop of art and music. Free admission.

LIN (Electropop / Berlin)

5 in 1. drums, synthesizer, guitar, bass and vocals. LIN is more than a solo artist, LIN is a solo band. Using footswitches, cables, a loop station and her instruments, the Berlin-based artist has built a cockpit for concerts with which she creates an impressive sound. In terms of genre, somewhere between electro and pop, multi-layered, rich in detail and intense. The English-language songs are not only danceable, but also explicitly political. In her lyrics, the queer artist stages a world in which socially established norms are broken up and redefined. "We need new norms" demands LIN. At her live shows, she literally sweeps the audience away, like the momentum of a spherical wave in which the energy spreads in ever larger circles.

Dagobert

Dagobert is a Swiss musician who has been releasing songs in his own unique style since 2013. This style is difficult to describe: lots of synthesizers, a calm voice, a Swiss accent and lyrics that somehow sound like pop songs but are still profound.Dagobert's four albums are, in this order: Dagobert, Afrika, Welt ohne Zeit, and Jäger. The latter album was just released this year and has already been described by music critics as a departure into a new style - Dagobert, who probably didn't take himself and his music so seriously in the past, shows with his latest work that he has matured as a musician and found his place in the music world, making him an artist to be taken seriously.
