Sounds, crackles, hissing noises – the ÉRMA Ensemble takes us on a journey into the experimental laboratory.

Can a piano sound like lightning? Can sounds be painted? The ÉRMA Ensemble takes you on a musical adventure, and the well-known television presenter and actor Malte Arkona opens his experimental laboratory as Prof. Dr. Ohrenschmaus.

Hiss. Rumble. Squeak. Crack. Imagine you are walking through a hot, dangerous volcanic area with a large, heavy rucksack. What sounds will you encounter? Listen carefully! The young musicians of the ÉRMA Ensemble from Cologne are your faithful companions, and Prof. Dr. Ohrenschmaus, alias Malte Arkona, finds new answers to your questions. You will hear unheard-of sounds, and there will even be a world premiere: a piece of music that will be performed for the very first time – and you will be there live!
