Trying to survive the daily madness you find yourself struggling to smile. Looking at the mass feels so strange. Sometimes you just want to break free from all these rules, these rituals. But you never will. The only thing you can do is accepting what is going on. If you’re lucky you might even find reasons to laugh. 
All pieces were performed as one-takes with a unique modular system. They all have in common that they were created during one year that was essentially devastating for many reasons. They needed to be recorded to prevent myself from being silenced.

Eldorado

The skyline is falling. What we have dreamt of collapsed and leaves us speechless.
There is no unity. There is no equality.

“Kollaps” contains three tracks of analog modular electronic music and was performed and recorded with love and passion.

Thomas Burkhardt - Kollaps

Sendeton is a journey through noises of any kind. It consists of two long pieces packed with radio interference, electro magnetic noise from a variety of home devices as well as patches from an analog modular system. I came up with the idea because I'm quite irritated by the daily noise we're surrounded by. Therefore I wanted to create noise that is consumable in a more healthy way and that tells a story.

Off the Map is an exciting album that deals with live performed modular compositions and on-location recordings. The result is an incomparable sound that is deep, organic and highly creative. Put on your hiking boots and enjoy a trip into the unknown.

Release: September 30th 2019 on digital platforms and as limited edition deluxe CD set: https://www.lin-log.de/release/kontinuum/

Kontinuum is about creation and decay. It consists of specific moments in randomly selected cutouts of large improvised modular arrangements.
It is a steadily proceeding journey of sound and word. It is a collection of modern techniques of sound experimentation combined with poems in German language.
All poems are written by myself and are recited by Bernhard Hench.

Expresión Corporal is an artistic performance with dancers. The sound was performed and recorded live with Jule Bauer singing and playing the Nyckelharpa while I was playing my Eurorack modular system. 
The whole project is about fusing different kinds of art into one experimental and expressive live act.
The maxim is: "Acrobatics becomes speech, music becomes scene."

My thanks to all artists and performers.

Live @ Expresión Corporal (with Jule Bauer)

Oktant is a collection of 64 handmade modular pieces, which were performed 2013 – 2014. It’s an vanguard work using the nature of empiricism to form and deform sound from simple waveforms to indescribable noise. It’s complexity is a result of organic, evolving rhythm structures combined with true analog modular sound designs.

Over 2 hours of modular madness.

Including all 8 sub-albums:

Turnbulls - Voice of a Friend (LIN/LOG Remix)

"Was wir schon immer wollten" ist eine Audio-Installation, bei der diversen Personen gesellschaftliche Fragen gestellt wurden. Die Antworten werden über mein Modularsystem nach einem Zufallsprinzip abgespielt und unterbrochen. Es ergeben sich immer neue Zusammenhänge aus dem Gesagten und den mitschwingenden Untertönen.
Präsentiert wird die Installation quadrophonisch in ausgesuchten Locations.
Mehr Informationen gibt es hier: www.lin-log.de/projects/was-wir-…on-immer-wollten/

Was wir schon immer wollten (live @ Xerox Exotique 2017)

Analog Computation contains six compositions that were made exclusively with the pictured modular system. Each piece was recorded as a stereo track in one take. The setup contains many of my favorite modules and works self-sufficiently. The Vermona Retroverb was used to give these patches an environment that interacts with the whole sound, providing analog warmth and saturation.

This video is an installation based on an improvised music piece I have performed with my modular system. Everything you see is placed and arranged by hand. No CG. The lighting is based on a formation of four lights that react to the four main sounds used in the music piece (Drum 1, Drum 2, Voice, Noise and sampled Field Recordings).
