«Digitaler First Friday»
Mit Paul Ebhart

For four years now, First Friday has been an important part of the event program at the Kunsthalle Darmstadt. Every first Friday of the month, the ongoing exhibition is opened in the evenings and supplemented by a musical program. Even in a time without local events, the Kunsthalle wants to continue this format and publish a digital series for First Friday. The individual episodes are designed by the invited artists.

In November Paul Ebhart performs on our digital channels with his performance ‹Eilt›. With the integration of electroacoustic studio technology from the 1970s and 1980s and the use of contemporary synthesis methods, the Viennese artist creates unique acoustic hybrids. For the performance ‹Eilt› Ebhart uses rhythmic figures that are generated from drum machines and sound sequences. These are supplemented by occasional sound events or the background noise in front of Ebhart's front door. Audible influences range from broken Musique Concrète to Krautrock and are combined to create something completely new. Experience ‹Eilt› on November 6th at 8 pm on the Vimeo, YouTube and SoundCloud channels of the Kunsthalle.

The Viennese musician Paul Ebhart (*1996) studied electroacoustic and experimental music at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Currently Ebhart continues his studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna with a focus on Transdisciplinary Art.
