STRASCHILL

Starting in 2000, Straschill has focused on the creation of freely improvised material exclusively. Audients at his shows found themselves confronted with a vast crossover of abstract experimental eletronica, singer-songwriter stylings, drum'n'bass breakbeats and minimal noise. Two important ensemble projects in this regard: kybermusik, containing freely improvised collaborations via quasi-realtime internet connection, and Eclectic Blah, which created contemporary dance music on a radically freely improvised basis... In his other life, Straschill works as an expert and programme manager for advanced mechatronic systems. He holds oldskool university degrees in physics and electrical engineering, advanced qualifications for highly dynamic driving (including the coveted Nordschleife one), a red belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, a green belt in Six Sigma, and has participated in various competitions and tournaments in fencing, boxing and sailing.
