His father, Georg Luksch, a composer, introduced him to the piano at the age of four.[1] When he began taking lessons at the age of five he also started to experiment with tape machines and editing, which would influence his use of recorded sound as a music instrument. In the following years Luksch developed his piano skills while exploring music on his own with recording equipment and hand-built electronic circuits.[2]
