In contrast to my studiowork and the production of music, the Autonomous Orchestra project is focused on the experimental improvisation and live performance of music.

During my Experiments in Circuit Bending, I discovered connections inside some instruments forcing them to create streams of music at random and patterns of unexpected sounds. By closing this connections the machines deliver me, whatever they want to. They surprise me and I have to deal with the result. For me this is very fascinating. I like very much waking up the ghost in the machine. So I made me a little ensemble of keyboards that I call "Autonomous Orchestra". This collection of machines plays its universe of unpredictable sounds. I act as the conductor of this orchestra by choosing and activating the circuits. With these instruments I improvise and arrange beautiful, strange and harsh soundscapes.
