Cor Fuhler
Sound Alchemist
Starting on a transistor based Eminent organ, Cor has played electronic keyboards for most of his life. He has played synths, organs, clavinets, pianets, samplers, cheap toys, etc. In the 1990s he focused on the digital FM based DX7 in the avant garde rock band 'Palinckx' and finally, around 1998, he bought an EMS Synthi AKS. Since then he has added a whole range of self built controllers, either computer based or purely mechanical. He has played the EMS either solo, in MIMEO (Music In Movement Electronic Orchestra), or in the electronic duo 'the Flirts' with Gert-Jan Prins.
