HAINBACH

Based out of Berlin, Germany, electro-acoustic composer Hainbach (Stefan Paul Goetsch) creates experimental music that is both visceral and whimsical. Using esoteric synthesizers, test equipment and magnetic tape he creates “one hell of a trip” in his live sets and recorded music.

He shares techniques on experimental music on his YouTube channel, which has attracted an ever growing audience of more than 200000 subscribers and almost 20 Million views, with several videos going viral.

His body of work includes film soundtracks, pop productions, chamber music, theater music, sound art installations and music software.

In October 2023 Hainbach and Ah! Kosmos released their first collaborative album “Blast of Sirens”. A darkly shimmering blend of ambient and dramatic structures, carved from the wild oscillations of vintage science equipment, faded Italian synths and tape processed noise. Held together by a sparse piano tones, the record explores a world in uproar, where moments of calm clash with choirs rising over storms of synthesized sounds.

Unveiled in December 2023, in collaboration with Look Mum No Computer “Rotopop” is the result of enthusiasts embark on a music-filled journey from London to Ramsgate, experimenting with vintage instruments at a unique museum. The discovery of an old drum machine and an extraordinary metal rotor leads to the creation of the playful Rotopops EP—a homage to electronic music from a whimsical future past.

New album Vive (Seil Rec. Oct 2026) shows Hainbach at his most melodic. Each track is a collage of different recording sessions that reflect both small moments and significant experiences the artist went though in the last two years. From the passing of his mother to inspirations from an Italo Disco hit, to looking for hope in darker days. Vive is full of harmonies, rich textures and raw emotion.

Hainbach’s music has been featured in Pitchfork, The Wire, Bandcamp Daily, Bleep and Boomkat.
