Juan Hansen Shares Gardens of Babylon Liveset Ahead of Debut Album Ultrasonido
The 90 minute set features a selection of exclusive material from Hansen’s forthcoming debut album Ultrasonido, arriving August 28
Argentine composer, producer and live artist Juan Hansen unveils his latest live recording from an unforgettable performance for Gardens of Babylon at Bodhi Beach near Zandvoort, Netherlands on August 1. Capturing the energy, emotion and spontaneity of his celebrated live show, the set offers listeners a glimpse into the sonic world of his forthcoming debut album Ultrasonido, due for worldwide release on August 28 via his own label Ultrasonido.
Captured in the atmospheric surroundings of Bodhi Beach, the performance showcases the full emotional and sonic landscape of Ultrasonido as Hansen intended it to be experienced: as a continuous, evolving journey. Blending electronic production, live instrumentation and spontaneous improvisation, the set brings the album’s narrative to life while highlighting the unique energy of Hansen’s celebrated live performances.
Ultrasonido represents Hansen’s exploration of sound as a physical and emotional experience. The album brings together his background as a composer with his instinctive approach to electronic music, creating a world where organic textures, hypnotic rhythms and cinematic atmospheres merge into a deeply personal expression of movement and connection. Following the release of the album’s first singles “Ninjas,” “Gambeta” and “Neon Maze,” the Gardens of Babylon performance marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the project, offering listeners an early opportunity to experience the album in a live setting.
Born in Buenos Aires, Juan Hansen is a composer, producer and live artist whose performances exist between electronic music, improvisation and contemporary composition. Built around Ableton Live and expanded through live guitars, vocals and synthesizers, his sets are fluid, expressive experiences where loops, melodies and textures continuously evolve in real time. Hansen studied classical music at the Conservatorio Juan José Castro and contemporary music at EMC (Escuela de Música Contemporánea) in Buenos Aires. Throughout his career, he has performed internationally at renowned festivals, clubs and cultural institutions, sharing stages with artists including Dixon, Hernán Cattáneo, Patrice Bäumel, Adriatique, Paul Kalkbrenner, Jan Blomqvist, Johannes Brecht and Giorgia Angiuli.
