Hanne Adam (Germany)

“Music gis a kind of language for my feelings and a replacement of words that I can’t speak out in any other way.
I didn’t find words for some events in my life for such a long time and music was the only way to communicate them,
to create means of communication with the inner- and outside-world. Music as a constant work in progress that serves
as a liberation of mind.."

"Hanne Adam, born and grown up in Hamburg in 1977, now living and working in Berlin already
began very early practising music on piano, guitar and drums. She played drums in bands and later taught it.
She started her first solo-recordings on an 8-track-taperecorder in the early 90's. In 1996 she integrated
computer-technology and virtual instruments and her own vocals to create her first downtempo-trip-hop music.
Intense experiments on hard- and software involved transformations of sounds and samples to click and
cut-elements that have become a relevant basis for the rhythmic and percussive tracks in her whole work.
Recently she re-concentrated on sound-design (an integral part of her former studies) and experimental structures
and textures leading to electronica and IDM,
to experimental and ambient music. In addition, many collaborations such as remixes and multimedial projects are
part of Hanne's complex musical carrier. EXurban is her constant site-project.
Photography, web- and graphicdesign,
filmproduction, drawing and writing poetry are further of high importance in her life …
