  SOTU (Sounds of the Underground) is an annual alternative music festival in Amsterdam. SOTU has a "passion for genre bending sound and performances". This results in a broad festival program – you can listen to noise, punk, folk, improv, rave, avant-garde and electronics. The festival celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2021, and this edition was completely online due to Covid-19. My contribution was streamed from my living room. I hope you enjoy it.

An episode from the archive. The original piece, l'Alph art (1987), was a improvisation done with one monophonic analogue synthesizer (a Korg Sigma) and originally released on a compact cassette-album called Unique (1988). This recording is one of two digitally reworked versions dating from 2008. Both versions are available on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/EinzelgangerlAlphArt08 (© 2020 Th. Geritz)

One of the three intermezzos I produced for the Freazzp Society. The Freazzp Society, which I was part of, was a musical collective that made jazz/rap/rock/electronica. During our live sets I played short solo interludes. This is one of them. (© 2017 Th. Geritz)
