Members: Dr. Nojoke

The concert pianist Jan Gerdes and the electronic artist and techno producer Frank Bogdanowitz alias Dr. Nojoke founded rand in 2018.

Both artists share a fascination for the frontiers of contemporary piano music and experimental club electronics and the acoustic and performative interweaving of individualized, poetic and lyrical piano sound with the overwhelming, orchestral and bizarre soundscapes of electronic music.
In this field of tension between analog and digital sounds, lonely piano lines meet threatening sound walls, repetitive piano patterns exist next to crystalline electronic impulses and create fantastic atmospheres and sound scenarios as well as spaces of manifold beauty, poetry and silence.
