Biographies of the participating artists

Christoph H. Müller about Roedelius
„My first encounter with Roedelius was in the Paris studio of the well-known French designer duo Kuntzel & Deygas. Joachim had especially composed music for a series of speakers they designed called Grateful Vanity, which I was able to listen to in his presence. I was immediately fascinated by the music and also was able to speak with Joachim. A short time later I had the opportunity to perform an improvised concert together with Roedelius at the renowned Centre des Arts in Enghien-les-Bains. For me, improvised electronic music was absolutely new territory!

Although we are both self-taught, Roedelius is my musical opposite. While I’m a control freak, Joachim is a fantastic improviser. I like clearly structured music, while for Joachim everything is ‘fluid.’ Joachim also plays piano so beautifully, where I would never dare sit down at a real piano before an audience. Since our first collaboration at the Centre des Arts, I’ve been able to learn a lot from Joachim.“
