On August 8th, Drkmbnt played two short "starving" sets at Home Made 2025 on the lakeshore of the Bodensee at the Wartburg in Mannenbach-Salenstein, Switzerland. "deadBatteryMusic" and "Tiny Techno Music" demonstrated in different ways what sounds can be elicited from oscillators when the voltage is reduced to zero.

music with self-soldered sound tools
DRKMBNT is a live act that performs its music with self-soldered sound tools. The sound tools were mostly developed by friends with whom DRKMBNT regularly meets privately or at soldering festivals. From time to time, DRKMBNT modifies these tools, as in the “Tiny Techno Orchestra” project. The orchestra consists of 10 circuits, each made up of a CMOS chip, a few resistors and capacitors and photovoltaic panels. Lamps are used to make the orchestra sound.
The music of DRKMBNT is improvised, from time to time a video or a live recording is published on the band's homepage, only very rarely are records produced.
DRKMBNT loves improvisation, loves the moments when the orderly turns into the disorderly, when he doesn't know how things will continue musically and technically. But fortunately, new possibilities constantly arise, musically, aesthetically and technically.
