“Klang-/Licht STROM” is a collaborative project of Ben Bengler (music, live electronics) and Thomas Geissl (light, programming), performing together as Bengler/Geissl since 2018.

It’s driven by their shared vision for creating performances where the audience is in the centre of things, with sound and light unfolding around them.

Largely free from strictly timed sequencing, Bengler creates and evolves the music via real-time audio manipulation and sound processing techniques. The music is analysed in real-time and Geissl uses the derived data as a raw material, augmenting and manipulating it with a custom software tool to play the spatial light setup.
