Block 4

Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen and Malte Steiner are visiting Helsinki to create two dialogue events at Toinen Kerros, Äänen Lumo, connected to their label Block 4 and Madsen's platform performance protocols. On Friday 13th February at 18.30, will be a electro-acoustic concert evening where Madsen and Steiner will each perform solo sets, and have invited local composer Petri Kuljuntausta to also perform a solo set and a dialogue impro session with them. On Saturday 14th February from 12 noon, Madsen will facilitate a Deep Listening scores workshop and at 14.00 Steiner will conduct a workshop on data sonification with Jupyter Lab and Pure Data.

Hardware, will it be a major shift for Elektronengehirn? You decide.
Malte Steiner initiated Elektronengehirn in 1996 as an experiment to create music exclusively using software-based sound synthesis. Elektronengehirn is an old-school term from the 60s for computers, when they were referred to as electronic brains. What sounds trivial today was, back then, a pretty radical idea, especially when one lacked access to the computational resources of institutions like universities. Computer sound synthesis for the masses was in its infancy, and not much was possible in real time. Initially, Steiner used Csound in non-real-time mode to create complex soundscapes. Later, with more powerful computers, he also employed Pure Data and Max/MSP, which both run strictly in real time.

Meanwhile, block 4 studio added more and more hardware, like the ever-growing Eurorack Modular system since 2002. It became silly to ignore all the equipment and not incorporate it into the electro-acoustic world of Elektronengehirn. With the album 'Hardware,' it was time to break with the original concept and combine all the possibilities: software and hardware, digital and analog, virtual and physical.
