★ Tin Man
Three Point Perspective: The performance is played on three TB-303s on a three point sound configuration exploring sound space and psychoacoustics through the paradigms of Acid musics.
The named master of the modern Acid scene, Tin Man continues to evolve and invigorate with each and every release.
Tin Man is an artist in the truest sense of the word. Over the last decades the man born Johannes Auvinen has explored an ever evolving sound palette that touches on house, techno and ambient. Much like his namesake’s character in the Wizard of Oz, he has been on a mission to find his true self, except this Tin Man’s medium has been music.
Most recently the California born producer and live act has been responsible for reinvigorating the acid scene with his unique and cerebral manipulations of real Roland 303s. His tracks have been laced with slow and subtly shifting patterns that are infused with a very real machine soul and exude captivating warmth. This modern acid master plays live on 303s, 707s and plenty more bits of hardware, always creating textured soundtracks on the flying using a range of FX and skills built up over the last decade. He never fails to make people dance to his beat whether he’s playing festivals in Japan, influential clubs in Europe or dirty back rooms across America and puts most similar acts to shame. He has also been a DJ since day one. While the bulk of his Acid innovations found a home on Acid Test, Tin Man’s extensive discography also explores less sublime and seductive sounds on various labels. He is also part of The Acid Symphony Orchestra (a live super group that features artists playing on ten 303, 707 and 808) and has turned out a standalone neo-classical and ambient works like Vienna Blue and Akkosaari which prove he does so much more than pure dancing music.

★ Duo Karo Preuschl-Chris Janka
Chris Janka: E-Git, Sparklyfier, Electronics
Karo Preuschl: Voice , Electronics
Chris Janka musiziert mittels einer umgebauten E-Gitarre ein von Wendy Carlos ersinntes Stimmsysthem (Alpha Tuning) bei dem es keine Oktaven, dafür aber perefekte Quinten gibt. Dies wird durch den 20 000 Volt Verstärker "Sparklifier" über Funkenschlag in Ton umgewandelt. Karo Preuschl philosophiert darüber in ihrer gewohnt intensiven Textlichkeit, die Elektronik wird dabei ebenfalls durch den Sparklifier in neue Volthöhen transformiert.
Karo Preuschls Performances sind roh, gewitzt und voller Überraschungen. Der verspielte Punk am Modularen Synthesizer improvisiert mit Electronics, Noise und Stimmexperimenten an den Rändern des Frequenzspektrums. Karo Preuschl, geboren 1991, lebt und arbeitet als bildende Künstlerin und Musikerin in Wien. Sie studierte Kontextuelle Malerei an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien und ist in den Bereichen zeitgenössische, experimentelle und elektronische Musik, Text und Zeichnung sowie am Theater und vielen anderen Kunstprojekten tätig.

Chris Janka, *in Salzburg, lebt in Wien (A). Arbeitet als Musiker, Komponist, Künstler, Klangforscher, Maschinenbauer und Tonstudiobetreiber an der Schnittstelle von Musik über neue Medien und Sound Art zu technischen Fragestellungen und Interdisziplinären Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten. https://www.chrisjanka.at/
