Lars Graugaard is a Danish composer, musician and producer who mixes computer coding, score composing, ecological musicology and laptop performance. His output goes from symphonic music and interactive opera through adventurous performances with improvising musicians to experimental live forms of techno and rave.

“While 42 minutes may seem short measure in terms of real time, to extend the appetite metaphor in Slonk there is enough musical nutrition in these three items here to justify the conceit of the disc as a whole…” – Richard Hanlon, MusicWeb, on Slonk (Kairos 0015039KAI)

“Overall an interesting and, above all, successful concept which has produced a very listenable avant-garde space music.” – Musik an Sich, on What Actually Happened

“The result is a kind of techno-mutant improvisation that is fun and fanciful, constantly changing and surprisingly psychedelic, danceable and humorous.” – Blow Up, on Persect
