Ketonge is influenced, among other things, by the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen and began composing his first electronic pieces in the early 1990s. He was or is a member of several ensembles for experimental music a. a. at Fantasmophonika with Simon Rummel and the Singing Landscape Painter with Oxana Omelchuk and Constantin Herzog.

He published CDs and DVDs, a. a. the DVD Klangsichten (2004) and the CD Elektronic Muzik (2010). His concerts and performances have been documented several times on radio and TV, for example the production with the composer and jazz pianist Simon Rummel on subjects of experimental art and music.

For the Junge Akademie Berlin (Fraunhofer Institute) he held guest lectureships and created an Internet lecture.

Ketonge invented a new musical instrument called vuvulectra, a cross between the South African vuvuzela and electrical and electronic components.

Ketonge lives in the Rhineland.

reception

“Ketonge stands between the disciplines of (new) music and the visual arts. The realization of his complex theories includes (...) the subject of sound within differently built spaces. (...) Ketonge works in an interdisciplinary way - electronic music, sculpture and video. Deliberately expanding the field of new media and music to include the visual arts is his strong interest. A 'concert', where he works at the mixer, is at the same time a performance, a ritual, a set, an event - broken down into its parts, consisting of electronic and analog sound, noises, music theory, choreography, stage design, objects, images, and Sculptures. Ketonge's compositions are the combination of these elements. ”(Georg Herold, 2005)

honors and awards

In 2000 he and the ensemble Die Kugel with Dorothee Haddenbruch, Ligia Liberatori, Josef Rebbe, Simon Rummel and Juan María Solare received second prize at the 6th International Music Competition for Young Culture in Düsseldorf. In 2005 he received a prize from the Berlin Fraunhofer Institute (netzspannungen) for his theoretical reflections on art and music.
