Circle Of Live is an experience unhindered from any formal structure, allowing both the performers and audience to explore the boundaries of electronic music improvisation in all of its raw beauty. Sebastian Mullaert curates a collective of acclaimed, electronic live artists who express themselves and interact at leading venues around the world.
Since the launch in July 2018, each of the all-night-long, freeform improvised jam sessions comprise of both collaborative and solo performances, with no set times decided in advance, allowing the natural flow to lead the way.

On November 21st 2026 Azu Tiwaline makes her Circle Of Live debut, joining Dorisburg, one of our most regular collaborators, and co-founder Sebastian Mullaert as they step into the flow of freeform improvisation at Konzerthaus Berlin. The evening opens with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, conducted by Ilan Volkov, performing Stravinsky’s Le sacre du printemps. After the interval, Circle Of Live takes over: three artists, one room and no plan beyond creating a moment that will never happen again. The closing concert of NOW HERE, a collaborative festival by Konzerthaus Berlin with Detect Sounds and IÇ IÇE, the festival for new Anatolian music.
