David Helbock's Random/Control live in Esslingen am Neckar

Experience David Helbock's Random/Control live on September 20th

David Helbock’s Random/Control will perform at Dieselstraße in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany on September 20, 2026. Random/Control is a piano trio led by Austrian pianist David Helbock, known for its distinctive blend of jazz improvisation and composed structures. Their music frequently incorporates elements of contemporary classical music, electronic soundscapes, and a playful approach to form and rhythm, often blurring the lines between pre-written material and spontaneous creation. The group consists of Helbock on piano, Philipp Jarosch on bass, and Mario Rom on drums.

Dieselstraße is a former industrial site in Esslingen that has been repurposed as a cultural venue. Originally part of the Maybach Motorenbau factory – historically significant for the production of aircraft engines during both World Wars and later high-performance diesel engines – the area underwent extensive renovation in the early 2000s. The site now hosts a variety of artistic and cultural events, including concerts, exhibitions, and workshops. Its industrial architecture provides a unique atmosphere for performances. The preservation of original structural elements alongside modern additions reflects Esslingen's commitment to acknowledging its industrial past while fostering contemporary cultural activity.
