It may have started in my teenage years after relocating to Germany when I discovered all forms of underground music from Grindcore to Industrial. It may have started in my years as an architecture student when I discovered Iannis Xenakis and how to create sequences using a PC. It was a small step from tape experiments to DAT demos, from live sets to vinyl releases – under the alias of Fragment King. Moving to the US after my uni years came with a plan: record music and release it. The Nexialist Organization was born and the Halforganic Series came to life. Many collaborations took place during these years and continued when I returned to Germany. The music shifted into metallic realms by using electric and bas...

NXO25 – The Mimesis Operation

The Mimesis Operation was a true manifestation of what the Nexialist Organization was about: a transdisciplinary platform connecting architecture, music, and visual design through shared creative methods and theoretical inquiry. A site-specific sound operation conducted within an architectural space, Mimesis transformed a building’s pneumatic facade into a resonant instrument, revealing the acoustic identity of architecture itself. Nexialist Operation Mimesis was realized with technical assistance from N. Tezkosar.   On May 15, 2004, the Nexialist Organization conducted an operation in the studio building Mimesis in Putzbrunn, near Munich, designed by architect Peter Haimerl. The building itself — two cube-shaped structures approximately six meters per side — served as the sound creation device. One of these cubes featured two pneumatic transparent vinyl facades that became the focus of the experiment. The operation used electroacoustic, digital-acoustic, and video recording...
