Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Not a DJ set: a live electro-acoustic performance where fluctuating voltages from electrogenic bacteria shape rhythm and frequency. The result should be fragile, low-level, and process-led, with the room itself feeling like part of the instrument.

More about Niels Gräber

He works between interactive objects, custom circuits, software tools and live instruments, with his work shown as both installations and performances. In ADE terms, he sits closer to experimental art contexts than club programming, and this piece is explicitly made with Isaac van den Aker around Sunjoo Lee’s research.
