Join us for the premiere of Yelmur's live band show and the exciting solo performance of Peter Hanson at the Kubus hall of Kühlhaus Berlin on Friday the 19th of May!

Doors at 19:30

Start at 20:00

Yelmur is the brainchild of Jelmer de Haan, a Berlin-based composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who blends electronic music with elements of jazz and prog. His debut solo album, 'How We Hide,' was released in December '22 and now the music has been transformed into a unique live experience.

The music is filled with carefully crafted sounds that allow for new discoveries upon every listen. The atmospheric songs tell stories about the human condition and other existentialist themes. The complex soundscapes have been translated into a four-person live show, combining compositions with freely improvised sections. Using analog synthesizers, acoustic drum-kit triggering electronic sounds, e-bass running through a multitude of effect pedals, and manipulated vocals, all sounds are being signal processed on stage.

The band's unique setup is amplified through the layout of the Kubus hall, where they will be centered in the room, allowing the audience a 360 degrees experience by walking around the stage or looking down from the top floor to the musicians below. The music will be mixed with quadraphonic surround sound.

The night will start with a exciting solo performance by Peter Hanson.

Peter Hanson creates hypnotic drones and psychedelic soundscapes. His goal is to
take listeners on a cosmic voyage through strange and playful dimensions in search
of the profound. He takes inspiration from New Age and Minimalism, as well as
“Fourth World” music set forth by Eno/Hassell. Peter performs using the Electric
Wind Instrument, which came into use during the 1980’s. The EWI (pronounced EEwee)
is a synthesizer with a breath sensor, and has deep roots in the Smooth Jazz
music tradition. Peter is currently based in Berlin. His debut album, “Serpent
Songs”, was released on Average Negative Records in 2020. His most recent video
project is entitled, “Getting Weird in a Tent”.

“Yelmur has taken the chaos of the world and transformed it into something beautiful and therapeutic.”
