About

At the invitation of the Ernst Krenek Institute (Krems, Austria), Karlheinz Essl had the opportunity to work with Ernst Krenek's legendary modular synthesizer BUCHLA 100, built by Don Buchla in 1967 and renovated in 2017.

Between April 11th and 12th, Essl focused on carefully selected BUCHLA modules that he used for a couple of live performances recorded with an iPhone.
