Westend Ghetto

In part of a resocialisation project for former Apple Powerbook users, three sound performers out of the Munich ghettos Neuperlach and Westend, being directed by their tutor Dr. Hans Langenpfahl, have devoted themselves to the Westend Ghetto project: G. Örkanal, Peter "Chung Lucy" Flick and Maria Ovenbröd have been developing their very individual kind of granular synthesis in the scope of their audiophilia at the Technical University of Munich, for the purpose of technocratic sound determination. That’s why they are currently synchronising eight modified Commodore C64 home computers by means of a Silicon Graphics workstation: using the C64s as tone generators, they synthesize audiophile patterns in the length of some microseconds out of mathematical random algorithms, which they revive then, similarly to an organic cytogenesis and with random gene mutations through variables within the logical formulas. With these now apparently alive and ever-growing sound organisms, they are constructing their tracks for the future of club culture. Read more on Last.fm.
