Elektrichka, the russian word for an electrical multiple unit train, is an international music project launched in 2013 by Jonathan Carter (USA), Takuto Fukuda (Japan) and Nick Acorne (Ukraine) in Graz, Austria. The trio’s projects, audio-visual with experimental electronics, are influenced by their experience in composition and sound-design. The starting point for the group’s collaboration was a similar frustration with electronic/laptop music’s inability at times to
connect with an audience. Audio and video streams are produced live on the stage, using Pure Data and Max/Msp for video and audio live processing. The Project’s first appeared at Next Generation 5 ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany. There, Elektrichka presented their first audio-visual piece: “Perception.”
