Georg Lauteren a.k.a. DJ Glow is the musician who composed the music for Radio Flare.

The music for Radio Flare was inspired by the concept of ‘Libration Points’ (or ‘Lagrange Points’) – points in space where the gravitational effects of two masses cancel each other out, allowing an astronomical object to become stationary.

Georg has been involved in Austria’s arts and science communities for many years now as an electronic music activist, media researcher, designer and curator. As DJ Glow he has been active as a pioneering DJ and producer in the fields of techno and electro music since the early 90s. He has further founded the media art and research platform XDV together with farmersmanual and Epy and curated festivals and exhibitions like ‘selfware.politcs of identity’ (Graz, 2003) and ‘Pink Light’ (Vienna, 2004).

Georg currently runs the record label TRUST as well as the music download service zero-inch.
