Bio
Edo uses algorithmic creation techniques to keep his music free from human dramatic expression and arbitrary decision-making. Working with visuals and (interactive) installations makes the process-based aspects of this music more transparent to the audience. Incorporating physical reality into these processes, especially nature (that which is not controlled by human beings), is an attempt to emphasize the absence of human dramatic expression in these works. Edo so far incorporated nature into the process by using acoustic feedback, solar energy and virtual wind power. Currently, he is incorporating the natural dynamics of human behavior into processes.
In 2008 Edo has joined with Luna Maurer, Roel Wouters and Jonathan Puckey to write the Conditional Design Manifesto. It promotes the idea of designing conditions rather than end results.
