The historic Buchla 100 synthesizer from the estate of Ernst Krenek takes center stage in a special evening at the Salon Krenek. As one of the most influential early modular synthesizers, this rare instrument played a pivotal role in shaping the development of electronic music and continues to inspire musicians, composers, and sound artists today.

During his residency within the AIR Artist in Residence Lower Austria Programme, Canadian media artist, composer, and filmmaker Maxime Corbeil-Perron has been exploring the Buchla 100 in depth. At the Salon Krenek, he will share insights into his current artistic research and demonstrate how the instrument’s historical capabilities can be reinterpreted through contemporary artistic approaches.

The evening also features a live performance by Gammon, a long-standing collaborator of the Salon Krenek. Performing on a 1974 Buchla Easel Modular Synthesizer, he combines its distinctive sonic character with contemporary modules and his own modern performance practice. The result is a compelling dialogue between past and present, where the pioneering ideas of early electronic music meet current artistic expressions and open up new sonic perspectives.

An evening for everyone interested in electronic music, synthesizers, and the history of innovative sound technologies.
