The name 'Clockwerk' was inspired by the reality that everything is ruled by one thing: time. Civilizations rise and fall, buildings are erected and slowly crumble, animal populations reach predominance and then become extinct. Time is the operating ground for the interaction between entropy and evolution.
They are three very different people with very different backgrounds in electronic music. Their union is contingent upon what they perceive as a need for music of protest in the current international political climate.
Combining an array of computer technology, samplers, and vintage synthesizers; Clockwerk creates a tightly rhythmic audio assault. Their motives are politically ambivalent, yet socially critical. Live performances are complimented by a charged video installation. They seek to arouse and incite their audience into a politically driven frenzy.
