</i><font size="3"><span lang="en-GB"><br>
Josef Klammer is exploring the basic sounds of materials. His drums are
equipped with unusual membranes and played with strangely emphasised
gestures. Glass membranes are played to the limits of shattering, and
elastic latex drum-heads are slowing down the sound of the drums, making
them breathe and pump. Silicon, as the key element in latex and glass
materials, functions as a conductor in the microchips of the musician's
electronic equipment. The concert is therefore a search for an audio
experiences in the "silicon age".</span></font>

starts with one of the possibilities to trigger a sound on the guitar. A
very sensitive processing PureData patch reacts on tiny changes. The
resulting and following sounds and acoustic dramaturgy develops in
real-time alongside the evolving sounds and playing techniques. The
acoustic impressions are created instantly, in the area of conflict
between the flow and the structure.</font></span>

Klement identifies herself as a structural improviser, where her
preference is to work with textures, organized/classified formations of
different layers to create the parameters for her work. In cooperation
with Daniel Lercher they create dense improvised sound textures
resembling organic structures like clouds with contrasting percussive
elements. The details of processing the micro-structure of sounds and
careful use of dynamics leads to a performance different to typical
egomaniac outbursts by the improvisers. They are based in aesthetics of
accuracy, making every acoustic expression vibrate and sizzle.</span></font>

Klammer & Gründler Duo form a highly intelligent sound pieces
out of the souls of good-tempered, stretched forms of electroacoustic
and digital-improvised music, ironically subduing new music’s
controlling gestures. Their audio is elaborate, precise, impulsive,
puzzled, border-crossing and startling. More than ever, the duo’s
actual digital live-processing is designed for interaction,

Elisabeth Schimana deals with electronic textures and networks. In the collaboration with Gernot Tutner </font><font size="3"><i>Dope Beat Rosegarden</i></font><font size="3">
she explores technoid rhythms. They accent the quieter notes and slow
tempo that is highly uncommon for techno, and a gracious sleek groove
with the focus on what is "in-between". Furthermore, Gernot Tutner is
not interested in roots or idols, he wants a live set which is open to
improvisation. Gernot Tutners Heavy Dope Beats embedded in Elisabeth
Schimanas digital Rosegarden is a conceptional back-beat, raw and open,
with 1000 tiny sound peaks, whispering roses and 24 crackling
oscillators.</font></span><br>

2000 Gernot Tutner is an active part of the electronic club scene in
Graz, acting there as DJ, live performer and promoter. In 2003 he
began his three-year employment at the Institute of Electronic Music
and Acoustics, working with Seppo Gründler, Johannes Zmölnig,
Winfrid Ritsch and many other inspiring people. This period marked a
step towards the improvised electronic music scene. In 2004 Gernot
Tutner joined with friends to found the music collective 'moonbootz
recordings'. Since then he is playing club sounds under this label,
recently under the artistic name Henry Bootz. In that same year, he
also started to play electronic computer based live performances in
his own production. He often collaborates with other musicians, with
Gerald Schauder aka Kabelton in techno project '<i>Liquid
Rotz</i>' or with Seppo
Gründler in the improvised project '<i>pd~Hendrix</i>'.
Since 2006 he is part of V:NM festival as technical assistant.
Currently he focuses on club-friendly sounds, mainly Berlin
underground Techno. When it comes to projects dealing with New Music
he sticks to the basics of dance music, but loves to take the
opportunity to leave those disco patterns. More at
