Vienna based Christian Fennesz has been paving the way for the interplay between electronic music and organic instruments since the 1990s. Working together with labels such as mego, touch or ECM, Fennesz has been characterizing the dissociation of the electric guitar via electronic editing, the disbandment of natural sounds to form a modulated sound space, in which complex threads unite to abstract compositions. Christian Fennesz has been working with artists such as Peter Rehberg, Jim O’ Rourke, David Sylvian or Ryuichi Sakamoto and is beyond question an international pioneer of abstract electronic music. Yet, his music is far from being a cold, electronic experiment – it’s a cosm of emotional structures.
