Lukas Schäfer
Pulsating soundscapes of a modular synthesizer push through the room, deform, develop into lonely melodies and finally melt into filigree arpeggios. The sonorous synthesizer sounds float through different registers, fall into place and create a mosaic of minimalist sound collages.
SCHÄFER is the solo project of Cologne-based musician Lukas Schäfer, who decided to pursue his passion for analogue (modular) synthesizers after completing his drum studies. His minimalist sound pieces combine massive drones with delicate textures, ambient with electronic dance music.
In fall 2021, his debut album “Mosaik 127” was released through Acoustic Motion Concepts. “Mosaik” (AMC Records) followed on cassette in 2022. Together with flugelhornist and synthesist Luis Reich, he released the EP “Trails” in 2023. Together with his colleagues from Sono Kollektiv, he can be heard on the pop ambient compilations 2023 and 2024 (Kompakt).

Open Signals is an event that brings together different artists, groups, collectives, styles and ideas around electronic music as well as interested people to amplify potentials, exchange ideas, start collaborations or simply listen to interesting music, talk about it and dance.
OS is not the sole host, but the events will be created in collaboration with the respective groups and individuals and thus constantly change and develop.
