Seppo Gründler / Robert Lepenik

The musicians speak of cinematic rational to irrational orders - and groupings. They are represented musically on the basis of the test results. The two Grazers focus on the observation of well-known dramaturgies in the rapid change of rooms. A kind of parallel dramaturgy emerges for the sound events.

Josef Klammer & Seppo Gründler

The current Moozak multichannel piece Thounds II is the further development of a series of compositions by Klammer & Gründler, who have been dealing with the spatialization of sounds, binaural or multichannel, since their headphone concert in 1988.

In today’s digital music landscape, the combination of open source software and DIY synthesizers offers a fascinating opportunity to create unique and creative sound worlds. (ChatGPT 4.0)
