Lukas Hermann is a German scholar, musician, and teacher, whose music reflects his deep interest in literature. His compositions for modular synthesizer oscillate between lyrical forms and abstract sound sculptures. He releases his music on Hauch Records, Petite Victory Collective and on the label of Eurorack Ruhr, a music collective he co-founded. Hermann regularly organizes session evenings, concerts and workshops for Eurorack Ruhr in the Ruhr region and other cities in NRW.
