The music of Belgian composer and cultural philosopher Stefan Prins is significantly influenced by current technologies and interdisciplinary approaches; multimedia border crossings and improvisation are as important components of his works as the use of electronics. One of the most important questions is the relationship between man and technology: How does technology influence our human actions and vice versa? In Prins' music, instrumental and electronic sounds confront each other as opposites. Together with him, the IEMA Ensemble 2018/19 has created an event that illuminates the analogue and digital soundscape of the instrumental. While in infiltrations 3.0.string sounds are electronically controlled, in piano hero #1 for keyboard and live electronics Prins transfers the idea of the romantic piano virtuoso into the technological 21st century. In ensuite for solo cello, on the other hand, the electronic means are acoustically "composed in" without actually using technology.
