Robert Henke - Layering Buddha Live @ Club Transmediale 2007
Monolake was founded by Robert Henke and Gerhard Behles in 1995. They describe their music as "minimal techno, dub, breakbeat, ambient and each possible mixture of these genres." Monolake, from their inception, has placed great value on their live performances, which often incorporate video or illumination elements provided by the Berlin-based video artist Alexej Paryla. They have released on the Berlin DIN and Chain Reaction labels and since 1997 on their own Monolake/ Imbalance Computer Music labels.
In 1999, Gerhard Behles founded the music software company Ableton, which produces the innovative and succesful 'Live' sequencing software. Since this point in time, Gerhard Behles has concentrated on the software development side of things whereas Monolake has been continued by Robert Henke. Robert Henke is also involved in the Ableton software development.
Here Robert performs a composition inspired by the Buddha Machine, exquisite layers of sound creating a unique audio ambience.
