Take The A Train Festival with EXIT VOID, Matthew Herbert, vierundvierzig 2026

EXIT VOID is not a traditional ensemble, but rather an open collective—multifaceted in sound and conceptually situated at the intersection of improvisation, sound art, and musical performance.

Emerging from a collaborative project to create a soundtrack for a video installation, EXIT VOID brings together a group of distinguished musicians and artists who shape electronic and acoustic soundscapes into a striking audiovisual sculpture.

With theukhasmorefoodbanksthanbranchesofmcdonalds.com, Matthew Herbert presents his first solo album since *The Horse* (2023). For this new project, the British electronic music pioneer incorporates sounds from items that are particularly in demand at British food banks—including tin cans, packaging, bottles, soap, and rice. The project is inspired by the fact that there are now more food banks in the United Kingdom than McDonald’s locations.

Musically, Herbert builds on his electronic work as Wishmountain and Radio Boy, combining sociopolitical themes with experimental, club-oriented music. The album is scheduled for release in late summer 2026. With his new live program, one of the most influential artists in contemporary electronic music will be performing at the Take The A-Train Festival.

Following Matthew Herbert, the residents of the Salzburg-based club “Klubkulturklub vierundvierzig” will take over the Night Train and bring their long-standing exploration of electronic music and vinyl culture to the dance floor. Since 2010, the club has been dedicated to the ongoing development of contemporary club music, combining artistic quality with sustainable cultural work aimed at fostering the scene over the long term. The Night Train thus becomes an extension of the evening, carried by carefully crafted sets and a keen sense of atmosphere and sound.
