The German Moers Festival is no longer primarily a jazz festival, but a curated laboratory for free improvisation, sound art, compositional music, and political absurdism. At times it feels forced. Most of the time, it is liberating.

Spor 2026 took its audience from embarrassed laughter to resonant sonic landscapes in a festival that both transgressed boundaries and overwhelmed the senses.

From digital melancholy and ritual noise assaults to pure silence – MaerzMusik explored the tactile forces of sound and the boundaries of the body.
