BIOGRAPHY
Four voices letting go. Jumping into the unknown. Falling – and flying. The vocal quartet HALS reveals what happens when musical precision meets absolute freedom: Anna Anderluh, Amina Bouroyen, Anna László, and Verena Loipetsberger sing their way through finely woven compositions, flights of improvisational daring, and unexpected turns. Each voice remains distinct, yet together they create a sound that is at times fragile and floating, at others powerful and raw.
The music of HALS defies perfection, plays with ruptures, and ventures into the realm where the unpredictable begins. free fall a cappella is an invitation to experience the moment – with open ears and without a safety net.
