Franziska Baumann, Mireia Pellisa and Bernat Pont
The expanded voice
Stefan Schultze
A pioneer in live digital techniques, Franziska Baumann has been performing for years with her unique Sensor Glove —a device that allows for real-time vocal processing and control of the sound space. Her performances unfold as immersive soundscapes where voice and technology merge to create richly textured and vibrant environments, exploring the limits of vocal expression.
In a second part, Franziska Baumann proposes a trio with the new generation of Catalan musicians: saxophonist Mireia Pellisa and composer and electronic performer Bernat Pont. Together they perform experimental improvised music, driven by a subtly provocative sound exploration and limitless creativity.

She teaches at the University of the Arts in Bern and has received numerous awards, including the Bern Music Prize and a Landis & Gyr residency in London.
Mireia Pellisa
Performer, saxophonist, improviser, Catalan composer. She works where sound flows into the body, where music meets beauty, excess, failure and the poetics of the banal. Her projects inhabit the in-between: between structure and overflow, discipline and impulse, between people, between languages. She studied at the Liceu (Barcelona), HEAR (Strasbourg) and HKB (Bern). Member of side proYect, RANGES COLLECTIVE and COCAINE HIPPOS, with whom she won the KÖSTER-PREIS 2023. Mireia creates collisions, collaborations, hybrid scenarios. Exploring from sound. Making space.
Bernat Pont
Bernat Pont Anglada is a Catalan composer and performer focused on creating new artistic experiences through humor, impact and love. His projects explore sound, image and narrative, with the aim of creating, through collaborative processes, the best serious-humorous, transdisciplinary, pop and emotional experimental shows. He has received the WE:NOW 2023 award for How to Bread, and the KÖSTER-PREIS for SWANGATE with COCAINE HIPPOS. He has studied at ESMUC, HKB and IRCAM, and is currently a 2025-26 resident at the Akademie der Künste Berlin.
