by The Elsewhere Project featuring Hans-Dieter Schmidt

This performance was recorded live on September 6, 2025, at the Kunstwerkhalle in Hanau, Germany. It was a fully improvised set with no overdubs or pre-recorded parts.

These pieces were sourced from live recordings, they may contain some clicks and digital dropouts.

On that day, Volker Lankow and I were invited to perform at a vernissage at the Kunstwerkhalle (“Artwork Hall”). The Elsewhere Project is the name under which we usually perform as a duo.
We were fortunate to have the support of Hans-Dieter Schmidt, who not only provided the amplifiers and lights but also joined us as an additional musician. He is a skillful and a wonderfully inspired player on the Akai EWI 4000S, an electronic wind instrument.

The Kunstwerkhalle, a former car workshop converted into an art exhibition space, retains the unique atmosphere of its past while providing a sprawling, inspiring environment. This setting was the perfect backdrop for our performance, allowing us to give full expression to our music.
