Guido Henneböhl is a musician and concert organizer based in Berlin, Germany. He has worked with composers like Alwynne Pritchard, Jeremy Woodruff and Carlos Sandoval, and improvisers like Jochen Arbeit, Andre Vida and Brendan Dougherty. Henneböhl has a unique method of developing synthesizer instruments by circuit bending old keyboards and toys, and combining them with self constructed primitive synthesizer elements. The instruments are notable for their wide range of tones and dynamics, and produces stochastic-like musical phrases.
