Rundfunk (Radio) was created by Enno Poppe in 2018. The author explains his idea: "Without radio, new music would not exist in its current form. The invention and development of electronic music in radio studios is one of the great moments in the history of radio as a medium. In the piece "Rundfunk" I use the historical sound extracted from the synthesizers of the past decades. My instruments are nine computers and nine keyboards. The sound aesthetic is 60s and 70s, the kind that Gottfried Michael Koenig, Thomas Kessler, John Chowning, Tangerine Dream were producing. Because they don't use original instruments, but computer-generated replicas, the sound is a bit different than it was back then."

Rundfunk was created for ensemble mosaik, with with which Enno Poppe is connected by long-term friendship and cooperation. Founded in Berlin in 1997, "ensemble mosaik" is still famous as a collective that boldly experiments, combining different genres and art forms. The collective created a new playing culture with performances combining multimedia and different means of stage expression and various performance situations, which became a model for many younger ensembles. In addition to collaborating with the most famous composers, ensemble mosaik also performs works by young authors. The collective cooperates with the Berlin Academy of Arts and the famous DAAD artist residency program, performs on the most important stages in Germany and Austria, this year it already played at the Berlin Philharmonic, the Grafenegg Classical Music Festival, etc.
