Late Bloøm is the solo project of Simon Spiess, who takes on the role of multi-instrumentalist for this project. He is inspired by unknown instruments, which he gets to know through in-depth processes and thus creates new worlds of sound. Late Bloøm is a composer, sound researcher and sound architect. Although he is best known for his warm, soulful and transcendent sound on the saxophone, the musician is also a beast when it comes to sound design. He's quick to admit that he creates beauty from a deep searching force: combining vintage woodwinds, modular synthesizers, tattoos and aesthetics. When he's not busy practicing the saxophone or meticulously chiseling sounds, you're likely to find him doing an intense mindfulness exercise. His music covers a wide spectrum of raw emotions, from calming to unsettling. Presence, connection and an appreciation of the full spectrum of the human experience are a through line in his work. That and the stark, contrasting contrasts (black and white, sometimes misty, metallic gray), punctuated by unexpected twists of garish pink!

Based out of Berlin, Germany, electro-acoustic composer Hainbach (*1978 Freiburg im Breisgau) creates experimental music that is both visceral and whimsical. Using esoteric synthesizers, test equipment and magnetic tape he creates “one hell of a trip” in his live sets and recorded music.

He shares techniques on experimental music on his YouTube channel, which has attracted an ever growing audience of more than 180000 subscribers and over 16 Million views, with several videos going viral.

His body of work includes film soundtracks, pop productions, chamber music, theater music, sound art installations and music software.

Hainbach’s music has been featured in Pitchfork, The Wire, Bandcamp Daily, Bleep and Boomkat.
