Lehn and Schmickler's 1st recording, Bart is considered one of the best synth improv albums ever made. Since Bart, dating back to 2000, the duo has toured frequently through Europe, Japan and the USA. This double-release, features some of the best performances the duo recorded over the course of 15 live concerts. A brilliant amalgam of the two musicians' strengths, Navigation in hypertext utilizes both improvisation and studio postproduction techniques to create a lasting work, combining the feel of a classic composed electronic music record with the raw, crackling energy of a free improv-session. Exciting and destabilizing, Navigation im hypertext will surprise even the most hardcore Lehn fan : intertwined with Schmickler's, his art never sounded this rich. If anything, Navigation im hypertext takes electronic improvisation one step further. The arrangements range in tone from softer clusters of sound to more abrasive movements.
