Ambient musician whatwetalkabout (Jonathan Ehlinger) utilizes synthesizer of all sorts to make music focused on creating a haze of heady nostalgia. Jonathan’s work drifts between sparse melody and dense texture to re-create hazy memories in the here and now.

t4mber rec4ll is performed/generative "almost music"; their music is something that sits between "actual music" and chaos. For the artist, it supports unfolding interpretation; for the listener, it may deconstruct discursive and fixed patterns of thinking by warping musical time/space. Their latest EP ZI7III was produced in quadraphonic on a 7U eurorack modular synthesizer and was recently featured on the The Omnia Sol Art Show. For this event they will djay a selection of quadraphonic music.
