Hub Hildenbrand

/ Hildenbrand’s music is defined by the restless nature of a true seeker. Over the years, his explorations have taken him to many musical places around the world, dedicating himself to mapping the connections between them, but his destination remains: The elusive vanishing point in the realm of the mystical.
In his music, the Berlin musician weaves a broad spectrum of timbres and influences into a completely independent sound language.

A concert by him is more than just a concert. With his art, Hildenbrand creates a space for a deep, transformative experience. “My music is prayer”

“A world of sound that develops an almost hypnotic pull.” (Deutschlandradio Culture)
