dieb13

Dieter Kovačič is best known as dieb13, but he has also performed and recorded under the monikers Takeshi Fumimoto, Echelon, Dieter Bohlen, and dieb14.
He sprang into action in the late ’80s, as the Viennese avant-garde scene was picking up momentum. Since then, he has been one of the European key figures in the harnessing of tape players, vinyls, CDs, hard disks, and IP protocols as instruments.

He is the founder of the klingt. orchestra and runs the internet platform klingt.org.
Apart from his solo career, dieb13 collaborates with artists such as ErikM, Ignaz Schick, Billy Roisz, dieb13 vs. Takeshi Fumimoto, The John Butcher Group, Phil Minton, Jason Kahn, and Mats Gustafsson.
