Puls [installation] 2025 - ongoing
Puls is an audiovisual installation built around a generative composition for an ensemble of 8 or more light-speaker units.
It offers an intense and immersive experience, where time, space, rhythm, and movement become perceptually unstable.
Rapid sequences of flashes deceive the eye, while sounds emerge from all directions—together providing a fleeting and distorted image of the space we inhabit.
At its core, the project is an experiment: reducing composition to a single elemental unit—the pulse—while exploring the thresholds of human perception.
Over-stimulation, deprivation, and sensory manipulation test the boundaries of how sound and light can be experienced and how they transform our sense of presence in space.
Each pulse briefly illuminates a fragment of the darkened room from a distinct angle while simultaneously generating a sound impulse.
The light vanishes as quickly as it appears, while the sound reverberates through the architecture, sketching an ephemeral image of the three-dimensional environment.
Sequences of these moments evolve into rhythmic structures, shaping not the space itself, but our perception of it.
Puls[n] is inherently site-responsive: its impact shifts with each architectural context, revealing new acoustic and spatial dimensions.
The installation can unfold as a performative live show or exist as a permanent, self-sustaining spatial installation.
KRAKEN [instrument, performance, installation] 2024 - ongoing
Kraken is an experimental software instrument, a chaotic cross-feedback modulation system built from multiple oscillators.
Together they form a complex synth voice that continuously reorganizes itself. The interaction emerges by shaping how much modulation flows between the voices and which parameters are affected.
Even the smallest adjustment can trigger dramatic shifts, since every element is intertwined.
Rather than aiming for stable or predictable results, Kraken embraces instability as a creative force.
It can be approached as a tool for live improvisation, an autonomous sound-generating entity, or as the core of an installation that evolves continuously without direct human control.
Its sonic output shifts between dense noise textures, fragile microtonal clusters, and rhythm-like patterns that emerge and collapse in unexpected ways.
The project explores the boundaries between instrument and organism, performer and system.
By setting initial conditions and steering relationships between oscillators, the performer—or the audience—initiates processes that take on a life of their own.
Kraken becomes less about playing sounds and more about tending to a living sonic ecosystem.
The visual component of the live performance emerges from multiple lights driven directly by audio signals, with the sound powering the LED chips to create a raw, immediate connection between sonic and visual energy.
dBlech [installation] 2023 - ongoing
In „dBlech“ a mirror-polished metal-plate is excited with transducers, driven by audio signal, to create sound and vibration. Through the plate, the signal becomes audible, with its material properties directly affecting the sound characteristics. At the same time, the surface is deformed, visualizing the transverse waves in the mirror.The object creates sounds, reflects, distorts and manipulates light, whereby light and sound are inextricably linked since both arise from one and the same source.

VRA [performance] 2022 - ongoing
VRA is an audiovisual performance based on image-to-sound-transformation. A projection shows a live-generated texture which works as a realtime audiobuffer. The brightnessvalues of a selected row of pixels are describing the waveform from left to right. Movement in the texture results in emergence of rhythm and changing color of the sound. The project is continuosly evolving and developed further.
HIVE [performance] 2023 - ongoing
HIVE is a performance for multichannel/ambisonics systems, using a custom software-instrument that is, at its core inspired by swarm-behaviour. 30 entities of synthvoices are controlled by one “brain” - a sequencer. These voices are equally distributed in space, around the audience. The observer is sitting in the middle of a swarm of oscillators, a synthetic orchestra. The sequencer controlls all of these voices. They can dynamically change from playing alone as unique voices, to singing in unison, behaving like one superorganism, to breaking into chaos. The musical piece is a journey through artificial landscapes, ranging from electric flickering to solid, basshevy rhythms, to digital chaos and noise. photo: phonon~ crew
Schwarzes Rauschen [installation] 2021 - 2022
A wallprojection and a floorprojection combined with a lasertracking system, which tracks the position of people and objects on the floor.
Schwarzes Rauschen is an imersive, interactive installation, consisting of 12 different, dynamic worlds, which change their envoirement relating to the movement of the group of people that are currently tracked. Every world contains a certain amount of noise, randomness, decreasing with every level. Starting at a level of pure chaos, with every further world the envoirement becomes less noisy and more structured and harmonic, leading into total silence and darkness in the end. Inspired of the process of calming down during meditation. From the maximum amount of information to no information at all. From white to black noise.
In every world there is a hidden portal which can take you to the next world. To open the portal, one person has to find the position the portal is hidden. Once found, it opens. If the position is left it closes again, but can be opened again at any time. If everyone in the group decides to step on the portal, we are brought into the next world.

biography
Daniel Haas – also known as Sturmherta – is a musician, sound artist, and experimentalist who focuses on related fields such as digital sound synthesis methods, chaotic systems, and the translation of sound waves into different domains, making them visible, tangible, or experienceable in other forms. He experiments with sound as a mechanical force and as a physical phenomenon in space. His works take shape as performances or installations that merge the visible and the audible, playing with the limits of human perception through stimulation or deprivation. They deliver intense, physical experiences, often through raw and brutal sonic constructions or glaring light and imagery that challenge and overwhelm the mind, or leave us in total darkness – suspending the audience between sensory overload and absolute void, and pushing them into states of heightened awareness and altered perception.
