bm_128 has always been fascinated by urban soundscapes and the acoustics of densely populated places. For many years, he has been documenting his favourite sonic impressions with 1-minute recordings that he incorporates into his live sets.
For 48 hours Neukölln, bm_128 is creating live electronic music from the field recordings he made in his home district of Neukölln. The recordings are enriched with effects and analogue synthesizers. For the drums, bm_128 also uses samples that were created in Neukölln, creating an urban soundtrack from and for the district.
Every bm_128 live set is unique, as it is freely improvised and every aspect – whether timbre, melody or transition – is created spontaneously.

Biography
bm_128
Sebastian Herrmann aka bm_128 has been creating music as bm_128 for more than 10 years. His musical journey started with a synthesizer/sequencer on the Nintendo GameBoy. He has since created several albums, both as a solo musician and with the band MØDI (electronic/ambient/pop) and as a soundtrack composer for theatre plays and short films.
In recent years, he has played electronic ambient music at various events with a live improvisation set on a spectrum from meditative to danceable. The use of field recordings transports the listener to different places around the world – for example, to a jungle in the Philippines or the Berlin S-Bahn.
