Event

Improvised electronic music on a hybrid setup consisting of a small modular system and digital components programmed in Pure Data. The focus is on the musical exploration of raw electronic sounds without the use of echoes, reverb, or loopers. Even though there may be rhythmic moments, these are not the focus, nor are harmony and melody—rather, technical/mathematical structures are the starting points. The aesthetic appeal arises from the acceptance of the sound moment as a cognitive experience and the shared perception of a tension arc by the audience and performer.

Artist Bio:

i am an electronic/experimental musician, composer, improviser, programmer based in leipzig/germany.

after more than 3 decades as a professional musician and instrumental teacher in various styles and on various traditional instruments, i have become a little bored and saturated with it. in addition, i have felt the desire to devote my life to other tasks such as left wing political, activist work and exploring the social space. therefore i have decided to stop making traditional music and to focus musically on improvisation and electronic sound generation.

this allows me to combine some strong interests - for example, exploring sounds, computer programming, electronic tinkering - and use them for my artistic work. i play live with a small modular system as well as with self-developed digital, computer-based instruments and controllers. in addition to ensemble improvisation, i am increasingly interested in solo performances. through my long time as a wind instrumentalist i have become accustomed to always using my breath for articulation and dynamic control. that's why i usually use a breath controller for my electronic performances. in this concert i expect to use an eurorack-modular in combination with pure data & supercollider
