Laptoporchester Berlin | Endliche Automaten are mainly 6 Musicians and a growing number of guests and solo musicians. So we working further into some new ways of interpreting and deconstructing electro-acoustic pieces of contemporary audio art. The musicians form an ensemble of notebooks, each functioning like an instrument. The combination of this multi-coherent network of sounds, the latest software, and versatile audio systems continually opens up new possibilities for interpretation.
The fundamental idea behind Endliche Automaten / Laptoporchester is to create and maintain an extensive repertoire of electronic pop and electro-acoustic and audio-visual compositions - which can be presented live in changing constellations, just what a traditional ensemble does. In the transition to visual art, self-images form an integral element of Laptop's stage performances. Hence the Laptoporchester Berlin is permanently experimenting with different configurations of sound and vision.

"Like the man who awoke to find himself drowning in a river, you may
roam the dark with 4 million other somnambulists - and never know it.
One soldier, after one of these attacks, he revealed that he had been
dreaming about trying to plow a field with a balky mule. ‘That mule
made me so darn mad I socked it,' he said. When he awoke, he found that
he had hit his wife in the face and broken her eardrum. His lawyer
successfully defended him by arguing that no one could be held
accountable for acts committed in his sleep. Why doesn’t he, like the
rest of us, lie quietly and work out the worries of his subconscious in
dreams of action, instead of acting out his dreams?"
'Strange facts about sleepwalking', in Mechanix Illustrated (Mar, 1949)
