Trying to put electronic music in a band format on stage is nothing new, and indeed, traditional presentations of purely electronic projects tended in recent years to draw a blank pretty quickly. Bernd Friedmann and former Can drummer, Jaki Liebezeit have been working for several years already on blurring the borders between live music and electronic. With a drum set that sounds as if it was computer-programmed and computer-generated sounds reminiscent of traditional instruments they conduct a playful investigation of habitual ways of hearing and audience expectations. Nils Peter Molvaer was one of the first internationally renowned Jazz musicians to mix Electronica with Jazz elements and to establish himself in the club sector by commissioning remixes from acknowledged producers, thereby considerably loosening the hitherto strict genre definitions. The stage show by Brazilian group, m.takara draws on their musical Art-Rock background: Live improvisation, computers, trumpets, guitar and drums melt down into a most singular mixture of abstract textures and Minimal Rock.
