Sam Barker performs an uninterrupted 180-minute live set with Discrete Ensemble and support from machìna at Zenner Saal.
A key figure in Berlin’s musical communities, Sam Barker has continually pushed against the boundaries and conventions of techno music. He has produced groundbreaking releases for the likes of Smalltown Supersound, including 2025’s Stochastic Drift, as well as for Ostgut Ton.
He co-founded the club night and record label Leisure System, and remains committed to collaboration and experimentation: his recent projects — including collaborations with Kay Sievers, AKA Version Duo, as well as with Norwegian saxophonist Bendik Giske — have done as much for acoustic science as they have for music.
It was only a matter of time until we locked him in for 180 minutes. His ongoing prioritization of live performance over DJing triggered an invitation to the Zenner Saal, and we are extremely proud and excited to welcome him for this rare and intimate evening of uninterrupted live performance.
The night will also feature Discrete Ensemble, a collaborative installation between Sam Barker and Kay Sievers featuring 8 automated acoustic string instruments. Billed as a living sound sculpture where every step transforms the music, it promises to elevate the 180 min experience to new heights of immersive sonic exploration.
Support on the night comes from Tokyo-based synth artist and MUTEK regular: machìna.
