Live on stage at the Brucknerhaus: the Prix Ars Electronica 2003 prizewinners in the Digital Musics category.
Die prämierten Arbeiten: Ami Yoshida, Sachiko M, Utah Kawasaki (F.M.N. Sound Factory, J): "Astro Twin / Cosmos“, Florian Hecker (Mego, A): "Sun Pandämonium“, Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje, Jazzkammer: John Hegre, Lasse Marhaug: "voice".

Parts of the statement of the Digital Musics Jury:

... Ami Yoshida, Sachiko M, Utah Kawasaki
There was a premier moment when these two groups came on that changed the room and the atmosphere changed too, along with our focus.

...Florian Hecker
Hecker is in a dialogue with (digital) instrument developers and referencing an experimental academic aesthetic without all of the trappings of scholastic brainwashing. … Every track on Sun Pandämonium utilizes a different approach to a scientific synthesis that is raw, dense and sometimes even baffling.

...Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje
At first this dynamic downpour both riveted and repelled our startled panel. … Whether these virtuoso implications seem overly dramatic to some or disturbing to others, it's hard to deny the power of her brave, possessed spirit of the tongues.
