The sonic material of Hanz ■ Memorial assimilates rare musical footage from the body of work of forgotten avant-garde musique concrète artist Hans Nibler – alternatively known as HanZ (Z as a tilted N) . The generative composition emphasize Hans Nibler’s research and applications in music of cybernetics’ circular causality, self-regulative systems and self-referential objects.

The abstract sounds resulting are to put in perspective to the electroacoustic and musique concrète avant-garde and furthermore to contemporary electronic music and computational art.

Hanz ■ Memorial appears as an homage to the electroacoustic avant-garde and electronic music pioneers as well as an original reflection on generative and contemporary electronic composition. Combining the use of powerful computer tools for programming and production, concepts from contemporary music and DIY process, Hanz ■ Memorial esthetically unveil a fragile thread stretched between rough abstract noise and beautiful sound design within a generative structure responding to several scenarios.
