Paul Hauptmeier and Martin Recker are composers working in the fields of composition, sound, and multimedia art. For more than fifteen years, they have collaborated as the artist duo Hauptmeier | Recker. 

During Hear Me! festival Hauptmeier | Recker will perform a live set called "One to Many," where they explore radio as an artistic medium. They will incorporate field recordings from the first German radio receiving stations, which have been reimagined by a choir. During the performance, these miniatures will be replayed, recorded, and transformed, creating a live process of sonic feedback that constantly evolves and reshapes the original sound material.


Their work spans a variety of domains, including opera, live electronic performance, radio art, electroacoustic music, and site-specific installations. With extensive experience in spatial audio, they have been developing LEMM, a software for audio processing and live diffusion, specialized in spatial audio performances and composition. 

Paul Hauptmeier and Martin Recker are also co-founders and board members of ZiMMT – Center for Immersive Media Art, Music, and Technology (Germany). At ZiMMT, they curate events and conduct research in the field of spatial audio. Since 2022, the duo has been teaching sound art at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art (Germany).
