Bernhard Hollinger is a multi-layered artist, an experimental musician, bass player, composer and producer navigating in the spectrum of Improvised Music, Jazz, Beats, Avantgarde, Neue Musik, Ambient and Electronic Music. His desire to go beyond genres through utilizing intuition and softness as a compass for his musical exploration shines through contrast and playfulness, minimalistic schemes as well as organic movement. His approach of combining the electric bass guitar with electronics is unique and can be heard in different combinations in different settings. Currently Hollinger is working on releasing his band album "1987" as well as his solo producer project "Weichness" and playing bass and electronics in different constellations around Berlin's music scene.
