Background:
Ander began his journey into techno after a fabulous new years eve party in Zurich. He got hooked on the beat and traded in his earlier career as solo flutist in a Jazz band for an existence in the dark and sweaty niches of the Swiss minimal scene. His starting idea was to directly influence all his musical output at any time in space, making every single of his appearances a unique experience. So he built his own controllers and made his own software for his very own kind of live performance.
Three years ago, Ander began working on the first ancestor of Station, as he calls his live performance controller. Today he reigns over 800 glowing knobs and blinking switches and a fast growing reputation in the minimal scenes of Germany and Switzerland. Among the places he rocked so far are names such as Schatzalp, Satisfactory, Hive, Schanzenfest and Formbar.
Some guy once called Ander’s sound dubby, but you will rather find elements of minimal and strange electronica in his livesets – the only constant is it moves your ears and feet, for hours.
