Gottfried Krienzer a.k.a. Kauders (*1980 in Graz) studied classical guitar at the University of Music in Graz. He is part of the austrian-slovenian collaboration Automassage, the improv-duo duo adé and founding member of the now disbanded noise/electronic/rockband Code Inconnu and of the blues-experimentalist-group The Striggles. His solo-project Kauders, formed in 2004, uses the computer as the main musical instrument and is aiming for precise sound-textures and their integration into a musical narrative.
