Tim Kroker, drummer for Front 242, finger drummer, and electronics enthusiast, bridges the gap between traditional and electronic music. With "11811," he unveils a unique composition for Soma’s Pulsar 23, making it accessible in sheet music form as well.

By notating this piece, Kroker highlights the benefits of music notation: it provides a universal language for musicians, preserves complex rhythms and structures for future performers, and allows for a deeper understanding of the composition’s intricacies. His work invites musicians from all backgrounds to engage with electronic music in a tangible, hands-on way.

This lecture was delivered in 2024 at the Sample Music Festival in Berlin as part of the inaugural DMC for Electronic Music. This groundbreaking addition marks an exciting milestone in DMC history, providing talented electronic musicians a platform to showcase their expertise and captivate audiences with their 20-minute sets.
