Neo Hülcker

Neo Hülcker is a composer performer whose work focuses on music as anthropological research in everyday life environments. Their compositions evolve as situations, performance-installations, actions and interventions, and deal with digital subculture (like ASMR), childhood, human-animal-relations, queer practice and cultural hacking.


Hülcker studied composition with Dieter Mack and Harald Muenz at Musikhochschule Lübeck and with Manos Tsangaris and Franz Martin Olbrisch at Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden.


They are a part of the Y-E-S collective, who publishes music dealing with performativity, temporality, sound as physical experience and the cultural frames of concerts (y-e-s.org).
Neo Hülcker created compositions and installations such as „ear action“ (2016) with Stellan Veloce, „crackles“ (2016) and „good dog“ (2017) for MOCREP, „gib Pfötchen“ (2017) for Maulwerker and „Da war ich noch nie in meinem ganzen Leben“ (2017), „Musik für tote Tiere“ (since 2017) and „tentaculus ohri“ (2018) with Antonia Baehr.
