Moritz Simon Geist (Techno-Roboter), Jacob, Beck & Klein (Elektronischer Post Barock)

In the organizer's words:

In Moritz Simon Geist's techno robot performance, custom-built musical robots "TRIPODS ONE" create each sound live on stage, redefining the techno music experience.

Geist, a German musician and artist, uses these robotic instruments to produce unique, contemporary electronic music. Each machine, from the tone generator to the sound-generating sculpture, is designed to produce dynamic sounds that are in tune with modern electronic music structures.

The performance is both a musical and visual experience. Geist's robotic orchestra includes customized instruments such as a futuristic kalimba, a pneumatic hi-hat and a drone guitar that add a tactile and visual dimension to the music. This approach strengthens the audience's connection to the sounds they hear.

With a background in electrical engineering and a passion for hands-on sound creation, Geist's work is driven by a desire to physically interact with music. His robotic instruments are made using advanced technologies such as 3D printing, CNC milling and laser cutting. Known for videos that have been viewed millions of times, such as the Popcorn Jazz Robot or the giant drumming robot MR-808 Tripods One, he brings machine music to dance floors.

The joint musical work of Michael Jacob, Ralf Beck and Thomas Klein has its origins in excessive analog synth sessions - a never-ending stream of musical output.

The pieces, which mostly emerged from improvisations and spontaneous interplay, were increasingly condensed and distilled into concrete arrangements.

Jacob, who is at home in classical music and has studied and practiced baroque music, now lives out his skills in electronic analog form. His staccato-like, rhythmic playing on the keys still revolves around the baroque style and bears witness to a strict formal character.

Beck is no stranger to music. As a composer, producer and remixer with international Top 10 chart placings and as part of the formations Nalin & Kane, Unit 4 and Die wilde Jagd, he has built up a considerable musical fund. He demonstrates his production talent in his own unique Urwald Orange Studio.

Klein is also known as the drummer for the electronic band Kreidler and as a solo musician under the project name Sølyst. He brings his years of tried and tested, polished, original drumming to the minimal line-up as a rhythmic and sonic extension.

The meeting of these different musical approaches (Klein and Beck with electronic music backgrounds, Jacob as a viola gambist of baroque music) generates an idiosyncratic minimalist band sound that is more concerned with atmospheric than virtuoso formulation.

Stringent, repetitive playing creates kaleidoscopic, shimmering facets of changing themes. An idiosyncratic musical narrative crystallizes, which leads to a hypnotic machine work of electronic analogue sounds with an elusive genre classification.
