Bertolt Meyer is a professor at the Institute of Psychology at Chemnitz University of Technology. He is also a DJ, producer, and avowed modular enthusiast.
As an artist, Meyer makes dynamic, emotive house and techno with dancefloors in mind. He releases on the Berlin-based label DESSERT and his tracks have been remixed by the likes of Hannes Bieger and Mala Ika. As a DJ, he is a resident at his labels’ party at ://about:blank.
In creative terms, Bertolt Meyer prefers the controlled limitations of the modular over the overwhelmingly open-ended possibilities of a DAW. What makes his relationship with his modular setup unique is that Meyers is not only controlling it – he is an essential part of it: Meyer was born without his lower left arm. Instead of allowing this to hinder his creative pursuits, he hacked a prosthetic to create something truly special. His ‘Synlimb’ – a hacked prosthetic built with the help of Christian Zollner at KOMA Elektronik and his husband Daniel Theiler – allows Meyer to control some parameters of his modular setup with muscular signals sent directly from his mind.
Through his live performances and creative output, Meyers highlights the possibilities of creating and controlling music using the mind as a direct source of input. He is an artist who embodies the inclusive potential at the intersection of technology and human creativity.
