Lehn (analog synthesizer) and Schmickler (digital synthesizer and computer) perform together in Chicago for the first time. Two heavyweights from Cologne, they are. Agog and gaga, Lampo is.

Thomas Lehn (b. 1958) has been working as a performer, interpreter, composer and improviser since the early 80s. In addition to his duo with Schmickler, ensemble work includes Gerry Hemingway, Gunter Christmann, Eugene Chadbourne, Paul Lovens, Raymond Strid, and trio Konk Pack with Tim Hodgkinson and Roger Turner.

Marcus Schmickler (b. 1968) has been involved with numerous projects, including the seminal group Kontakta. As a solo artist, he has created important works such as Wabi Sabi, Sator Rotas and Param, as well as three CDs under the name Pluramon. While rooted in electronic music, he also has a background in contemporary composition, having studied under Stockhausen collaborator Johannes Fritsch. Schmickler also has worked in the house and techno scenes, both on his own and with musicians such as Thomas Brinkmann and Cristian Vogel.
