After a career in international journalism Gero von Randow started a second life as a musician. Coming from a Jazz and Rock background as a guitar player, he has changed his coordinates to explore the universe of experimental music. He prefers nonlinear behaving synthesizers (SOMA Lyra-8, Error Instrument’s Dark Marie, JMT D-2 et al.) and free improvisation, but is not afraid of metrics, scales and all that, when it fits. In 2023 he moved from Hamburg to Vienna, where he is a member of the Phantanoise Kollektiv and other musical projects. He prefers playing on stage with other musicians. Some of his solo works can be found under his artist name “Gero from Vienna”
