German industrial/power-electronics project founded by Anton Knilpert in 1995. After 10 years of existence & the triptych of albums being completed, Thorofon transformed into The Musick Wreckers at the end of 2005 while Knilpert changed his artist name into Dan Courtman. With Anton Knilpert & Geneviève Pasquier being the core members of Thorofon, they worked regularly with guest musicians like Julius Gospodard & Tikki Nagual amongst others. Even Marco Koch, label owner of Stateart, is being credited in the line-up on the "We Kicked The Audience" cassette. Thorofon reformed in late 2010.
