As a special preview for the Dis-Patch festival due to take place in Belgrade from this weekend we're very pleased to present two live recordings from the festival last year.
Monolake
Robert Henke, (aka Monolake), born 1969, releases computer generated music on his own label imbalance computer music, starting 1994 with his first CD, Piercing Music. In 1995 Henke founded the more dancefloor orientated project monolake, together with Gerhard Behles, who left monolake in 1999. monolake became a Henke solo project. Robert Henke is also the author of an ongoing network music project, Atlantic Waves. The Atlantic Waves software is a graphical network sequencer which allows two people to perfrom and improvise together while being thousands of miles appart. Robert Henke is part of the development team of the music software company Ableton and the creator of the midi controler MonodeckII. Robert is easily one of the most significant contributors to the world of electronic music still active today. For more information on him check the links below.
