Bernhard Hollinger is a multi-layered artist, curator, sound researcher, and cultural connector/translator through sound, whose practice unfolds at the intersection of improvised music, experimental sound art, and interdisciplinary performance. With a background as a Jazz bassist, composer and producer, his work extends beyond conventional boundaries and traditional concert formats into research-driven, site-specific, and socially engaged artistic processes.
Committed to expanding musical perception and challenging habitual modes of listening, Hollinger has developed a distinctive artistic language that merges electric bass, electronics, field recordings, unconventional sound sources — occasionally even light bulbs.
Beyond the stage, he explores interdisciplinary and installative formats with his curatorial research platform Lo-Fi Playground, as well as through artistic research through dialogue and improvisation on the montly radio show Space Lab Transmissions on 90mil Radio.
His debut album as a bass player and composer 1987 was released on Boomslang Records on 25th of April and features Grammy-nominated musicians, such as Ashlin Parker from New Orleans and Ashton Sellars from London.
