- Pure has been making all kinds of uncompromising electronic music since 1991. As a vinyl-only DJ he draws on 30+ years of experience playing a doomy, noisy, broken mix of techno/electro/acid/rave/industrial once called Horror Rave.Discography: https://www.discogs.com/artist/22509-Pure https://www.discogs.com/artist/50385-Current-909 https://www.discogs.com/artist/711756-Peter-Votava He released a.o. on Rave or Die, Things To Come, Holotone, Ophism and aufnahme+wiedergabe. He has close to 40 physical and digital releases on labels such as Editions Mego (as Pure, Bolder, and Ilsa Gold), on Hinterzimmer (with his electronic/percussion duo PRSZR), on Crónica, Praxis, Staalplaat, Drop Bass Network and others. Heart Chamber Orchestra: http://musicwithmachines.org/hco/ https://www.facebook.com/musicwithmachines.org http://www.soundcloud.com/pure http://www.musicwithmachines.org He has played at numerous festivals around Europe and the Americas, such as Berlin Atonal (de), Argos (be), Club Transmediale (de), FILE (br), Mutek (ca), RGB v1 (fr), Sendandreceive (ca), Phonotaktik (usa). Being one of the driving forces behind bringing techno culture to Vienna in 1991 as DJ, producer and organizer, he departed from this style soon after to move on to further less explored and harsher fields of electronic dance music for the next years. His turn towards experimental electronic music in the second half of the nineties went hand in hand with getting into programming his own music software. He uses this knowledge since then for computer based live performances and teaching at various Universities and education facilities. Around 2012 he started to reintegrate beats into his live performances creating a dynamic collage of abstract soundscapes and heavy, bodily music. His early-90ies Rave prank-duo ILSA GOLD ( together with Christopher Just) was the first internationally acknowledged Austrian techno act and is still occasionally active. He holds a Master degree in Computer Music from the University of Plymouth (UK).
