Georges was a member of EMU, the experimental music and multimedia ensemble of Ulm University, during the earlier years of his artistic work. Founded by the legendary electronic music artist Wolf-Dieter Trüstedt, EMU has been exploring the intersection of music, technology, visual art and science since 1986. The ensemble is now led by artist and synesthete Christine Söffing. EMU had a major influence on the development of Georges’s Augmented Violin approach, providing an environment for experimentation across music, technology and the arts.
 

Working with EMU, Georges developed and performed projects that explored the possibilities of technology and sound in unconventional ways. Their work ranged from computer music and the invention and construction of experimental instruments in the ensemble’s own workshop to making plants produce sound and using discarded computer components as sound sources. This experimental environment allowed Georges to explore the violin in new ways while developing his own technical and artistic approaches.
 

One project led by Georges was Johann Käfig, a reworked version of John Cage’s Theatre Pieces. The original work was revisited and further developed through algorithmic processes, creating a new interpretation as a homage to Cage. The title Johann Käfig is the German translation of the composer’s name. Within EMU, Georges also presented Frankenstein, one of his first independent compositions, developed as a performance in collaboration with visual artist Jürgen Palmer.
