serge baghdassarians and boris baltschun are working in the field of live-electronic music.
while boris baltschun is mainly concentrating on sampling -it's technical and asthetical
implications as well as it's application in different contexts- serge baghdassarians is -with
the help of his reotrop- oriented towards the cybernetic idea of feedback within a closed-circuit
system of sound processing devices.

furthermore they concentrate on the conception and realisation of temporary soundinstallations
which abondon 110/220 volt as well as other high-tech equipment completley. instead they use
cheap and simple materials (f.e. balloons, wires, plastic syringes, cans) to produce electronic-like
soundworlds. examples are brownout [2005], for a variable number of prepared syringes and balloons
and konservatorische maßnahme [2006] , for wire, cans and battery driven motors.
