Joker Nies (Cologne) modifies or builds his instruments to his needs. Apart from other techniques, he acts as a connector of circuits not intentionally related. He touches and combines the circuitry of the instruments through skin-resistence, creating spontaneous and delicate music with subtle control.

Mario de Vega (Mexico City) works with real-time sample processing using external devices for data control and his own designed software SPK®. He combines glitch sampling with teleo devices, body bending and real time signal processing in search of peculiar sound circumstances.

Hans Tammen (New York) works with a wide collection of mechanical devices on his "endangered" guitars, and uses an interactive software of his own design to rework his sounds in realtime. His music has been described as a journey through the land of unending sonic operations, his playing as reverse engineering of the guitar.
