Experience Free Music: Rudi Fischerlehner opens the space for spontaneous sound ideas
How does music emerge when no style, no score, and no fixed process dictate the way? At the improvisation workshop with Rudi Fischerlehner on November 11, 2026, participants will immerse themselves in the world of free improvisation together at the Orgelfabrik Durlach. The workshop is part of the 11th Festival for Free Music Karlsruhe and is aimed at all age groups, instruments, and levels of experience.
Music in the Moment: listen, react, create
The focus is on attentive listening. Rudi Fischerlehner explores with the group how musical communication works without stylistic guidelines, how impulses are received, and how individual sound ideas create a collective moment. Acoustics, dynamics, rhythm, and silence become equal components of an open musical language.
Improvisation between Rhythm and Surprise
As a drummer, improviser, composer, music educator, and producer, Fischerlehner works at the intersections of improvised and experimental music, jazz, and post-rock. His stage performance combines precise reaction with controlled risk: sound material is extended, interactively changed, and used in ever new combinations. The workshop does not focus on the perfect solo but rather on the collective development of a dynamic musical process.
A Versatile Musician with an International Profile
Rudi Fischerlehner was born in 1977 in Austria and lives in Berlin. He has released solo albums including 15 8 SLUM and Spectral Nothing and can be heard on numerous productions from labels such as Clean Feed, Between The Lines, Klanggalerie, Staatsakt, Creative Sources, and Jazzwerkstatt. With projects like Xenofox, Der Dritte Stand, Gorilla Mask, Fiium Shaarrk, and the Julie Sassoon Quartet, he has performed internationally in clubs and at festivals.
His work has been described in the press as both respectful and eruptive. The trade magazine Touching Extremes highlighted his ability to attentively support musical partners or lead them into new sound spaces with powerful counter-rhythms. This mixture of experience, openness, and rhythmic precision also characterizes the workshop in Karlsruhe.
For Beginners and Experienced Musicians
The workshop is open to all instruments and levels of experience. What matters is the willingness to engage in the collective experiment: to explore changing sound colors, spontaneous synchronization, unusual impulses, and the question of how musical material emerges in collaboration. Thus, the Orgelfabrik Durlach becomes a laboratory for free music and lively audience proximity.
Conclusion: A Day for Curious Ears
The improvisation workshop with Rudi Fischerlehner promises a concentrated and inspiring concert experience to participate in. Those who want to not only hear music but also directly experience its creation will find space for discovery, exchange, and their own sound ideas. The participation fee is 40 euros; registration is required.
