After some years of dark mars voyages, Innsbruck-based Sunom has located rather tranquil music styles on other planets. The journey led to more individual and experimental sounds, such as hashed beats and breaks or liquid spheres and even raspy singing. Never the less he only profits from the earth‘s air which transports acoustic noise by 1234,8 kilometers per hour. This phenomenon has already been used by other musicians.

These sounds are recordings of the noises that occured while Krach der Roboter was manufactured. The order they are assembled in is based on excerpts from the code of Krach's operating system. This complex calculation process took from 2000 to 2004, because computer chips were not elaborate back then and often crashed.

Sometimes 19-year-old Innsbruck based Lt. Thrombose submerges the listener in a fog of multi-instrumentation. Sometimes his tracks are right in your face, with huge and distorted synth lines and straight beats. And sometimes there are more  sublime beats and eccentric voice samples. In the end stands an unambiguous advice: Go and get lost!

radical constructivist, atheist, skeptic. convinced of the independent existence of machines. does not make much difference between man and machine and is not tempted to find this differences. quite the opposite is the case and already found in the possibillity of conditioning man and machine likewise, by similar methods. that's why for hornyphon, music is a constructivist process, using constructivist methodes. the result has nothing to do with what one likes to call "feelings". for hornyphon it would be pointless to stick with the same "sentiments" and to tonally evoke and invoke the same "sentimental patterns" over and over again. this would be careless, even reckless. listeners are persuaded to observe themselves, in order to become an audience, respectively consumers of the second order and hence become aware of their self-referentiality and self-organisation. no need to be afraid of breaks. the decomposition of hornyphon's music, in the form of free tonality, is nothing else but a shifting of values, perceptions and patterns, by sometimes less than a semitone. more thought, less music.

Modified keyboards and handcrafted interfaces, build the fundament for the music of may he hetal? Through this way, they are able to worm out some unexpected and opinionated sounds. Out of this soundpool rises their music, which is located somewhere between Ambient, Elektronika and Noise.

CHRA ist the soloproject of Vienna-based Christina Nemec. She likes to play and stretch low frequency sine waves, granulated through a small program called soundeffects, and manipulated via logic, ableton live, 4-track-recorder, sampler – like a roadmovie for your ears. Main topics: landscapes, territories, silence, unexpected things and history.

John E. Flash is one of the carriers of autark. As host and DJ he has been around in the Innsbruck area for a couple of years. Now is the time to add a new part: the
producer. Mountainscape is an attempt to merge several influences such as electronica, techno and hip hop to a whole. John E. Flash takes off his alpine
boots and produces sound far away from montane romanticism.

With sweet 17 Innsbruck based analog fanatic Krowley launches his first 4-track-EP. Instead of becoming a Schönberg piano prodigy, he found his love in experimental electronic music, but always flavoured with a very special organic ambience. His sound‘s an oscillation between dubstep, electronica and downbeat with heavy influence of acoustic instruments under reference to renaissance music.

Hans Platzgumer and Jens Döring are hp.stonji. So far they've been known from their albums on Zurich's Spezialmaterial and the Viennese label Konkord, as well as from their countless other projects (solo or with others, e.g. Cube & Sphere, hp.zinker, Queen of Japan, e.stonji).
hp.stonji's music is an organic blueprint of the music called electronica. But it might as well be  fat and dirty. Autark's prologue "Piano Expeditions" is a journey into the atmospheric deeps of modern ambient music as cold and warm it can be.
