Classically educated but nourished by pop, rock, metal and jazz, TEMKO brings a new perspective to the contemporary music scene. Finding joy in connecting their different musical backgrounds, their music moves freely between composed music, (post)minimal music, ambient, progressive rock, industrial and improvisation.
TEMKO composes and performs new music or, with much attention for details and sound textures, re-arranges music by composers or bands from Terry Riley to Nine Inch Nails.

The limits of boundary-stretching mankind translated into music: a 50-minute lasting radio-broadcast, including a sonification of material which is moving about on more than 12.000.000.000 kilometers from Earth.
TEMKO performs Entropy
music by Aart Strootman
A subtle notion, barely a thought; A steady drift, dissolving all familiar order; slowly cascading into equilibrium; Every effort leaving us further apart irreversibly; Until all motion is in vain and ceases; Somewhere between micro and macro; We strive to prevail self-inflicted chaos; A pulsating beat and everything in between; Reveling in a moment void of entropy
TEMKO performs Mic check
with music by Aart Strootman & Philip Glass
Mic Check is not just music. It’s a pulse. A relentless, driving current that refuses to be silenced. This program channels the raw power of minimalist pioneers like Philip Glass and pushes it through the electric, visceral energy of TEMKO. It's for those who crave more than just sound—it’s for those who need to feel the rhythm course through their veins.
