Air pressure modulation, vibrations, and silence: after 40,000 years of tonal harmony andsound, The Sub_Bar Show #1 marks a milestone in music history—showcasing works designedto be felt rather than heard. Revolutionizing the use of subwoofers, Deaf and hearing artistsexplore an uncharted sensory dimension: touch. Premiering in nearly 30 cities worldwide thisApril, the show connects venues, languages, and audiences through an immersive,body-centered experience.Please note, the show will start promptly at 19:15 and last 90 minutes.Towards the end of 2021, a small group of nearly 30 people in Berlin experienced somethingthey had never experienced before: for around three hours, they remained in a venue where the
air pressure variations created by special compositions played through subwoofers immersed
their bodies and hijacked their focus, leading them into another state of mind.
A few months later, nearly 100 people in Lisbon went through the same process. Some cried in
liberation, one left in panic, and a few fell asleep. Yet, about 95% of them left the venue
reporting what became the most recurring feedback:
🗣 "I feel like my mind and my body are one."
The music was created by both Deaf and hearing artists. The vibrations embraced them from
head to toe, and the sensation felt as if it was coming from inside—a familiar, visceral, yet
entirely new mix of silence and music.
These were the first showcases of Sub_Bar music. Over the years, rising Deaf talents trained
with established artists at Sub_Bar Academy, working exclusively with low frequencies. Some of
them went on to perform at major music stages, including ADE Festival in Amsterdam, Silent
Green in Berlin, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Serralves.
There are no recordings of these shows—because they are ephemeral. You cannot simply
watch them or listen to them at home.
Now, The Sub_Bar Show #1, premiering this April in nearly 30 cities worldwide, marks the final
step of this long journey—from 0 to 1, establishing a new music style for the sense of touch
and a ritual that brings together Deaf and hearing communities. With international names like
Efdemin, Reboot, Felicity Mangan, Byetone, Roberto Musci, Stefanie Egedy, Terence
Fixmer, Amma Atera, and Petre Inspirescu behind its ever-growing catalog, the Sub_Bar
Show is simply a new reason to meet and enjoy stories—just like concerts, poetry nights, or
cinema.
The show is presented in various sign languages and translated into International Sign,
subtitles, and sometimes audio.
Sit down, close your eyes, and relax. One day, you can say you were at the first one.
