mouse on mars official

Mouse on Mars is recognized as one of Germany’s most defining and versatile electronic music projects. With their anarchic mixture of sound that oscillates between uncontrollable chaos and meticulously arranged structures, Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma have forged a unique musical language, which is readily decomposed by the unpredictability of its myriad mutations. This dialectical method, coupled with the capacity for continuous reinvention, is the only constant to be found in the duo’s cooperation.

Free from schools of thought, genre conventions, and from the constraints of the music establishment, they have worked under the Mouse on Mars alias for almost 30 years, mapping their own idiosyncratic trajectory through a no man’s land between pop, art, club, and the avant-garde. The duo, sometimes trio with multi- instrumentalist Dodo NKishi, represents one of Germany’s few experimental pop acts to have stirred wide international attention and acclaim.
