Elektronengehirn Piksel 25 concert video online

You can now watch online last weeks Elektronengehirn concert at Piksel 25 Bergen (NO). It was the maximalist version of the concert Hardware with pieces from the same named album: three independent videoprojections (like the 2024 concert in Aarhus (DK)) and quadrophonic sound. The main projection Malte Steiner programmed with the game engine Godot, the side projection comes each from a Raspberry Pi with a C program done with Raylib. Remotecontrol was done from the PureData patch on the main computer via OSC through ethernet cables. Additional sound source was a custom made modular synthesizer system Steiner developed in the past years. This audiovisual concert comes close to his vision of the Gesamtkunstwerk.

Piksel 25

Malte Steiner is an Aalborg based German visual artist and musician. He began exhibiting and creating electronic music in the early 1980s. In 1996 he initiated the project Elektronengehirn as an experiment to create music exclusively using software-based sound synthesis. The name is an old German term from the 1960s for computers, which were then referred to as electronic brains. What sounds trivial today was, at the time, a rather radical idea - especially for those without access to the computational resources of institutions such as 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 electroacoustic
soundscapes out of processed field recordings and synthetic sounds. Later, with more powerful computers, he also added Pure Data and Max/MSP to the toolbox and wrote custom software in C/C++.
The album Hardware from 2024 breaks with that concept and features tracks which are also done with Eurorack modular synthesizer and custom electronic instruments that Steiner has been developing since 2022. During the concert pieces from the album are performed live on computer and DIY modular synthesizer.
