- Sebastian Arnold / Senode: Music from Finite State Machines
- -Sebastian uses his drum kit to interact with melodies and sequencer patterns. To be able to access music through the drum sticks, he developed Senode, a tool for non-linear composition and performance. The outcome is a graph-based representation for music that can be interpreted by a computer and leaves room for spontaneous transformations.
- -About Sebastian Arnold
-Sebastian Arnold is a drummer, sound artist and multi-instrumental performer based in Berlin. He has a strong background in computer science, but is also heavily affected by improvised music and club culture. In his works, he explores the intersections between traditional playing styles and electronic dance music. He is best known for his solo performances on drums and synthesizers that have solidified as a sort of futuristic one-man-band with international perception and three album releases on his own label beeah-music. Besides his live concerts, he is working on the generative „Senode“ sequencer and likes to talk about his concepts for interactive music and technical realization of adventurous ideas.
