organizes artistic-/cultural events, does lectures and workshops and publishes artistic goods
such as music records, books etc.
IFF got some reputation for their acoustic work with prepared turntables (
turntablismtheorism)
and their reductionist set-up called
Octogrammoticum:
8 turntables, 4 DJ mixers + end-mixer, which is served by the group members.
Anything (except records) which somehow fits between turntables and pick-up cartridges
(household-rubberbands, paper-stickers, rubbergums, handicraft-tools + various tinker-trivias)
may be played.
Octogrammoticum
is Institut fuer Feinmotorik's classical puristic setup of 8 prepared turntables without records, effects and post-processing.
