electronics
Adventurous compositions (principally), fun improvisations (mostly) and raw sound design (often) using drums, keys and electronics (always).
“An expedition, where something new, exciting, and fantastic is brought to life behind every corner.” SKUG Magazin
“The highlight of the first REWIRE festival day was the solo performance by drummer Gerri Jäger, who had wired his kit onto a tangle of electronics. The fact that he knew so well to find his way in a setting in which he processed drums and cymbals and simultaneously operated synthesizers, FX pedals and a mini-keyboard, aroused amazement and admiration. Above all he managed to make exciting music with such virtuosity, and the help of sound engineer Sandor Caron.” Gonzo Circus
“Loggy and slow, thick and fuzzy noise bouncing on all sides, Jäger pulls up a trance-like, enchanting and at the same time slightly uncanny sound wall.” Arjan van Sorge
