He is a composer and performer of electronic music and creates versatile soundscapes with test equipment and special devices. With his playful curiosity and love of experimentation, he also searches for aesthetic sound in non-musical territories. With his tutorials on Youtube he brings experimental music techniques closer to his wide audience. Photo was taken by + NANI GUTIERREZ +

As an incredibly talented synthesizer enthusiast, living in Gothenburg Sweden, she primarily creates atmospheric textures and deep soundscapes. But she also likes to integrate layered beats and complex rhythmic patterns. When you get involved with her music, it’s like going on an immersive journey, you take off to float and drift.

We take apart a disused webcam and turn the lens so that we get a macro lens. Then we build a stage from laser cutting parts and mount the modified webcam. In no time at all we have a wonderfully functioning DIY microscope, which invites you to dive into the wonderful world of the microcosm and document your discoveries directly on your computer.

This experiment investigates how audio can be transmitted through the air. The signal is overlapped with the laser beam (analog circuit) and then picked up by a solar panel. The solar panel is connected to a simple amplifier that drives a loudspeaker. Klick the link below to watch the video on Instagram.

Priezor from + LOM + is an open-source passive antenna to make electromagnetic fields audible. It is very sensitive and detects low level events in the atmosphere. All electronic devices in the home or for outdoors, e.g. mobile phones, flat screens, sockets, etc. emit electromagnetic waves and sound very different. Which source sounds the most exciting to you? How can we explain the different volumes? And how do you perceive these devices now that you can hear them?

This video essay focuses on the topic of the creative processes and aesthetic research. Negotiating with the unconscious, the primordial soup, enduring the diffuse, the ephemeral, the doubts, getting lost, evolving yourself in search to find deeper connections. What is your passion or what are you struggling with?

The sound of stroking a radiator was combined here with a modified drum machine. The video layer shows the surface of a lake, interrupted by vertical black lines and overlaid by noise images caused by an analog tube TV. The symmetry and asymmetry of image and sound was investigated.
My static works are stored here. They are inspired by physics, mathematics and technology and focus on vibrations, resonances, feedbacks, deposits and noise.

With 3D printers and digital production machines, we have arrived at production unit one. This means that parts are produced just in time and no longer in large quantities in stock. But it also means that we can break new ground in terms of production location, spare parts and production reliability.

Her sound can be described as hypnotic and intense, in the field of cinematic ambient and electronic orchestral music. As a French artist, she uses exclusively modular synthesizers for her sound explorations and compositions. With this instrument of infinite possibilities, she immerses us in an ocean of sounds that put us in an altered state of consciousness.

In a square room, panels equipped with loudspeakers hang from the ceiling. A generative system with 16-channel audio produces a perpetual soundscape. In regular cycles, samples are stored in the system, ready again as a starting point for the next run. In this way, the system continues to evolve over generations.

We go in search of the beauty in algorithms and discuss what effect computer-generated images have on us, what is perceived as aesthetic and why. Can beauty be captured in a mathematical formula? To finde out that, students created sketches and ideas with pen and paper and do the final realization via a browser-based software called p5.js.

Repairing things yourself will become more important in the future. On the one hand, because developers and producers intentionally integrate errors and predetermined breaking points into products, so-called planned obsolescence. And on the other hand, raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and thus more expensive. With the availability of open source software and 3D printers, this trend can be counteracted, in the spirit of the Repair Cafés: repair instead of throwing away!
