Florian Hecker has been working with computer music, since 1996.
He has been frequently collaborating with other artists such as Oswald Berthold, Russell Haswell and Yasunao Tone.
His collaboration with Oswald Berthold has been released on compact disc by OR in 2001, and his collaboration with Yasunao Tone respectivly by Mego in 2004.
His full length solo recording, Sun Pandämonium, received the Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2003.
Hecker has given numerous international solo audio presentations, including La Biennale di Venecia, 49th International Exhibition of Art, Venice 2001, Royal Festival Hall, London 2002, Centre Pompidou, Paris 2002, ICMC 2002, Goteborg 2002 and Ars Electronica, Linz 2003.
With Yasunao Tone he performed 'Palimpsest' at Sonar MACBA Barcelona, Centre George Pompidou Paris, the MIT Media Lab Cambridge, Freunde guter Musik Berlin, Lampo Chicago, RML San Francisco and All Tomorrow's Parties London.
Hecker's works emphasize the connection of most recent as well as historic developments in computer music, hard- and software. Often working closely together with software engineers and scientists, his recent productions incorporate psycho-acoustic effects disorientating the listeners spatial perception in live presentations and studio works.
He has been working on sound pieces comissioned by visual artists Angela Bulloch, Carsten Höller, Florian Pumhösl and Cerith Wyn Evans.
Together with Russell Haswell he is currently working on a compact disc with material recorded early 2004 during their research with the UPIC system at the Centre for Composition of Music Iannis Xenakis (CCMIX) in Paris.
Hecker’s latest full length solo compact disc 'Recordings for Rephlex' has been released by Rephlex in decemeber 2006.

Robin Fox: computer, controllers, live processing and programming.
Anthony Pateras: synths, voice, microphones and computer.
Formed in 2000, Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox execute an electrified real-time homage to some of their favorite obsessions: breakneck pacing, vocal hysterics and blistering textures. A toxic mix of comedy and violence they perform exquisitely sculpted electro-acoustic vignettes. Where possible, the duo play in multi-channel configurations, creating a visceral battlefield of
hyperactive audio in surround. Renowned for their individual practises involving prepared piano and audio-driven laser, they often open their collaborative shows with highlights from their respective solo arsenals.
The duo have performed countless concerts throughout Australia, Europe, the USA and Japan, and have recorded two acclaimed full-length releases:
Coagulate (Synaesthesia, 2003) and Flux Compendium (Editions Mego, 2006).
Their 3rd album entitled “End of Daze” was released on Editions Mego in December 2008. A bulletproof testament to the Duo’s eight year history in the trenches of live electro-acoustic music, - their messy, over-the top contact-miked beginnings has now formed into a powerful and futuristic meta-language borrowing from the early electronic masters, bizarre sound poetry, vintage synth festishism, and the eternal patch tweak, fuelled by a poisonous love affair with sonic invention.
