Bernhard Hollinger is a Berlin-based artist, musician, curator, sound researcher and cultural connector working 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.
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 bandleader, 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.
