Maciej Sledziecki and Marion Wörle have explored pre-20th Century experimental music practices during their biennial project, AVANT AVANTGARDE, and developed automated computer-controlled music machines that reflect these experiences.

At the 2016 MusicMakers HackLab, they will introduce some of the surprising electronic music predecessors that they have found, as well their own work. They will focus on the history of real and mystic music machines, the musical and philosophical implications of automated music, and their relation to present music production. Finally, they will showcase gamut inc’s own music-machines, and explain the technical and musical functions of their automata.
