the Micronaut

Every performance is unique, every show fascinating. In the past, the self-proclaimed one-man orchestra The Micronaut, alias Stefan Streck, felt more rooted in the hardcore and grindcore scene, until he fortunately discovered new sounds by scoring film projects, among other things. The mix of electronica, breaks, samples and live guitar make The Micronaut's sound something very special. He is looking for a sound in which every instrument has its own place, its own space: “I always want to remain flexible, always surprise.” His musical focus is on the combination of orchestral sounds and playful beats. Live, The Micronaut impresses with energetic, enthusiastic and always honest sets, with his own light show that creates a musically dynamic interplay.
The ride is eclectic, but far from chaotic; transitions are fluid, the momentum uninterrupted and the direction cohesive. Behind the music’s energetic flow are sophisticated arrangements and quasi- scientific constructions which crush stylistic boundaries and give birth to a new collage-based genre of music. The music is all the more impressive considering that every sound contained therein is crafted by The Micronaut himself, who has been called a one-man-orchestra for exactly that reason. At times, Summer Games veers towards electro-pop, at other times it is inspired by old-school hip-hop, and at other times still, it climaxes and explodes in IDM, but through all the commotion what is clear is that The Micronaut is an avid music lover, collecting ideas and inspirations far and wide, and translating them through his own prism of emotions, “Music must always be a journey, with ups and downs, with fears and with happiness. Making music is always an expression and somehow also a processing of experiences.
