Even if many of the invited works emerge in the here and now—formally, aesthetically, and socially—the context in which they exist is never limited to the present. Musical practices always emerge in relation: to historical lineages, to archives, to lost or suppressed histories. Time does not unfold linearly. Ideas reappear, shift, are reinterpreted, or remain invisible for long periods. The festival’s film program begins precisely here. It expands the focus on sound through a temporal perspective: as a way of understanding musical practice not only as a current state, but as part of a larger, often fragmented context.

Subletvis | 23/05/26 🔗 ticket link in bio @subletvis Subletvis is the alias of Vienna-based sound artist Moritz Nahold. His work moves between the abstract and the familiar, blending a wide range of influences into a fluid, emotionally charged sound shaped by intimacy, tension and release. Balancing fragile textures with moments of intensity, his productions and performances unfold with a sense of openness — guided by a desire to create immersive, affective encounters. A new record, Installer released via Vienna based label @tendermatter (2026), further develops this approach and will be presented at Hyperreality.

jess_whereyouat | 22/05/26 🔗 ticket link in bio @jess_whereyouat jess_whereyouat is a sonic explorer moving between sensual house, experimental cuts and unexpected club mutations. Her selections are playful and deliberately unpredictable — always rooted in groove, always charged with a distinct sense of attitude. Born in Switzerland and shaped by Berlin’s club scene in the early 2010s, she is now a key presence in Vienna’s nightlife. Her sets move fluidly across house, funk, hip-hop, dub, electro and left-field sounds, weaving them into seductive, slow-burning narratives that keep the dancefloor in motion. Balancing softness and edge, jess_whereyouat creates a space that feels both intimate and unruly — equal parts cocktail glass and biker boot. (c) Ebako Ugbodu

🍿HYPERREALITY MOVIE NIGHT: PXKRW @pxkrw.hybrid present UNBOUND 21.5.2026, 6.30pm @filmcasino Ticket link in Bio (click Movie Night) UNBOUND is an immersive portrait of London’s queer rave scene, told from within the communities it centres. Focusing on trans and non-binary voices, the film traces how nightlife becomes more than a space of escape — it emerges as a site of care, resistance and collective survival. Set against the backdrop of a city where more than half of LGBTQ+ venues have disappeared, UNBOUND captures a community reclaiming space on its own terms. Through intimate testimonies and embodied moments on the dancefloor, the film moves between personal narrative and collective experience, revealing nightlife as a lifeline shaped by chosen family, creativity and mutual support. Visually rich and kaleidoscopic, the film approaches its subjects with a sense of dignity and presence, foregrounding joy, vulnerability and strength in equal measure. Rather than observing from a distance, UNBOUND positions itself alongside the people it portrays — as a collaborative act of storytelling rooted in lived experience. At once tender and defiant, UNBOUND challenges dominant narratives around queer and trans lives, offering instead a raw and expansive vision of community — one that continues to build, transform and imagine new futures from within. Music by "AM Sin“ @amsin_amsin_amsin Directed by PXKRW (Tikul & Andrzej Wojtas) · 122 min · UK · English

Tony Njoku | 22/05/26 🔗 ticket link in bio @tonynjokuartist Tony Njoku is a London-based composer, producer and vocalist working at the intersection of experimental electronics, contemporary composition and alternative R&B. His music folds together psychedelic synth textures, minimal piano writing, fractured rhythms and choral arrangements, balancing intimate songwriting with widescreen, cinematic production. Following early releases including In Greyscale, YOUR PSYCHE’S RAINBOW PANORAMA and the KILLTONY EP, Njoku entered a period of creative reset in 2022. Working from a restored upright piano and exploring prepared piano techniques, he began shaping the reflective Bloom series of EPs — a turning point that expanded his sound toward orchestral arrangements and slower, more deliberate composition. This trajectory comes into full focus on his latest album ALL OUR KNIVES ARE ALWAYS SHARP, a record that draws together Njoku’s hybrid language of minimal strings, analog electronics and rhythm-led production. Across the album he is joined by collaborators from across the UK’s experimental music landscape, including Space Afrika, Tricky, Coby Sey and GAIKA. Moving between avant-pop, contemporary classical and leftfield club music, Njoku’s work traces a singular space in the UK underground, where compositional ambition meets emotionally direct songwriting.
