Holographic Field is the soloproject of the Pianist and Producer Jonas Meyer, based in Berlin. He is also involved in the post rock band Frames and in the ambient project Unland. In his debut „Window Gazer“, he combines his different musical backgrounds and inspirations. A mesh up between epic ambiences, clubby electronica, neo-classical and postrock elements. Dreamy landscapes meet their gloomy complement, always between dark and bright, near and far searching their balance. https://holographicfield.bandcamp.com/

Ernst Surberg, born 1966 in Münster, is founding member of ensemble mosaik. Receiving a scholarship by the Käthe-Dorsch-Foundation, he studied piano with Rolf Koenen and Alan Marks at the University of Arts and the Academy of Music Hanns Eisler in Berlin. After his studies, a master course for contemporary piano music with Jeffrey Burns, triggered Surberg’s intense examination of contemporary music. In addition to his engagement with ensemble mosaik – he shares the responsibility of managing the ensemble with flutist Bettina Junge – Surberg works on the cross-genre band project noch#2, that invites guest musicians like Marian Gold, Jaki Liebezeit, Manuel Liebeskind, Jan Werner and Andi Thoma. In this context, Surberg started composing and premiered several works of his own. Most recently he wrote the music for three theatre pieces at the Schauspiel Köln: “Der letzte Riesenalk” and “wozuwozuwozu” with Anna Viebrock, as well as “Warten auf Godot” (Director: Thomas Dannemann). Surberg performed several premieres as soloist as well as with ensemble and orchestra – amongst others works by Stefan Streich, Michael Beil, Enno Poppe, Klaus Lang, Agostino DiScipio, Andrew Hamilton and Sergej Newski. With ensemble mosaik, he gave guest performances at a wide range of the most important international festivals for contemporary music and contributed to various broadcasting recordings and CD productions. From 2007 until 2011 Ernst Surberg was board member of the Initiative Neue Musik Berlin, an association for the self-administration and support of the independent contemporary music scene in the German capital.
