from disco to noise

Gernot Tutner (aka Henry Bootz) has been an active part of the electronic music scene in Graz since the beginning of this millennium. Initially focused on danceable club sound, he began to explore the field of experimental and improvised music in the mid-2000s, inspired by the environment of the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the Kunstuni Graz. In 2004 he founded the music collective moonbootz recordings, which has since been his label for performances and events in the field of club music. Since 2006 Gernot Tutner has been part of the organising team of the V:NM Festival and is also active in the Styrian Improvisers Orchestra. In addition to the V:NM, he is active in other cultural organisations such as Radio Helsinki or the mur.at association. Gernot Tutner is an audio engineer, IT technician, musician, producer, composer and DJ. His musical works live from the synthesis of the abstract with the concrete and an incredible urge to groove, which remains the highest maxim even with uncompromising reduction and repetition.
