  In
May 2002, we (Enzo Cage and Karsten Koch) accidentally met in a bar
in Munich. We realized that we both had an almost identical musical
background: We had spent years composing computer music as
teenagers. At the same time, I (Karsten) had finished setting up a
synthesizer studio. It contained a fender rhodes, some old
synthesizers and effect boxes, a vocoder and a groove box.

 When Enzo came visiting the new
studio, we instantly improvised "The Fermi Paradox". The result
impressed us so much that we decided to do more sessions and publish
them under the name "Testrauschen". We always work the same way: We
just sit down and play. Preparations are kept on a minimum level. In
August 2002 we started inviting other people to our sessions. We
recorded beautiful pieces of music with Mixter and Max Glück.

 In our opinion, music should 'just
happen'. When people improvise together, they communicate and this
we cosider most important. We refuse to control everything and we
try to navigate towards complexity and beauty. Our mission is not to
break rules but to find new ones.

We are very interested in collaborating with other
people in Munich. If you want to participate in sessions or
promote/publish our music, feel free to contact us:
