Creator is a collaboration of Konrad Franz and LIN/LOG. Konrad came up with the idea making an exhibition of specific sculptures he made dealing with the subject "the human process of creation". It is not only about today but also about future processes of how humans create. It is an inversed perspective of the artist looking at the process of art being made. My task was to design an audible environment that reflects and expands Konrad's intentions. So I created a self-playing patch with my portable modular system that was developing over a long period. It contains many evolving sound sources and pseudo random events which makes it a very dynamic experience, especially because it was performed as a quadrophonic setup. What you hear are five cutouts from a period of four hours. I have recorded the sound directly from the modular but also the environment inside the defiled church, where the exhibition took place.

Creator (a quadrophonic audio installation)

The ICO Obernburg is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Therefore a lot of great artists were showing photos, sculptures, paintings. But there was music too and so I had the chance to create half an installation and half a performance the whole day long in a beautiful old working space. I was deeply focussing on working with the ambience of the room itself but also with the visitors coming and leaving. There are 17 takes I have recorded to show how my work has evolved over time.

These sounds influence each other. There's a large network of connections between the modules. I mainly used malekko/wiard modules, the rubicon, wogglebug, ptg, sea devils, maths, quadra and peg.

Self Patched #2: Apathy

Live modular improvisation @ Strom Wandlung Schall 3 (June 1st 2024) with my hybrid modular setup.

This is a live improvisation I have performed for the closing event of Group V's exhibition at the defiled church in Hausen. The exhibition was about AI in contemporary art. Therefore I used my hybrid modular system to create a vibrant sound design focussed on pure analog signals colliding with digital signals. I wanted to force both sonic worlds to compete against each other, fighting about the dominance who is controlling whom.

A new self patch starring Furthrrrr, VCG, PEG, Maths, 2x Plog, Pitchshaper, 2x Quadra, Sport Modulator, Z8000, Noisering, Borg 1, Oscillator and Anti Oscillator.
It's "Migraine" because of the high frequency noise and the blipping sounds. I often get migraine that is pretty awful so this is it's tribute.

Self Patched #3: Migraine

Feeling sometimes dizzy? You cannot focus objects right and the ground seems to move? Yes, you got vertigo! Presented you by Switching Mixer, Heuristic Rhythm Generator, Intuitive Quantizer, JAG, Noisering, Boogie Filter, Borg 1 & 2, Anti Oscillator, Oscillator, Sport Modulator, Z8000, Quadra and HexVCA.

Self Patched #4: Vertigo

This self patch is about a horrifying mental disfunction where someone cannot identify people by their faces. This patch was made with Furthrrrr, Terminal, Maths, Tyme Sefari MK2, Echophon, Wogglebug, Sport Modulator, Plog, Z8000, HexVCA, ViLFO (2x), A-134-1 and Bender

Self Patched #5: Face Blindness

This is a live improvisation I have performed at "Grenzgänge" (i.e. crossing borders) created by ZAK. Many thanks to Monika Thiery and Konrad Franz: www.z-a-k.art

live @ Stadttheater Aschaffenburg

"Einspeisungen" was performed live July 17th 2025 at Café Krem Aschaffenburg. Thomas Burkhardt was playing the modular system while also resampling and re-arranging sounds made by Jürgen Hafner in real time. Jürgen was playing guitar, self-made instruments and objects and also used his voice.
Many thanks to all supporters, especially Bernhard Hench (Café Krem) and Isabella Burkhardt for taking pictures (Instagram: ib_photographie_de)
