Stefan Fraunberger
Stefan Fraunberger is an Austrian composer and artist exploring themes of transformation and liminality in sound, focusing on their interior counterpoint in relation to perception. Stefan engages in electro-acoustic dialogue with different instruments, beings and agencies beyond nature and culture. By investigating embodied understandings of the uncanny, his work touches on time, matter, memory and transition.

Keith Rowe
Keith Rowe is a co-founder of the english improvising ensemble AMM, established in 1966. Already in the late 1950´s Rowe started experimenting with preparations on the guitar, influenced by the ideas of Marcel Duchamp. In the early 1960’s he was a member of Mike Westbrook’s band until his resolution never to tune his guitar again, made his resignation from the group unavoidable. Since then Rowe has exclusively played the “table top guitar”, as a soloist, in AMM and in various other groups.
