"Achtung! Future!" is an audio-visual composition for concerts with computer music and video projection (composed in 2005).

Two versions exist:
one is a solo concert by Frank Niehusmann,
the other is an extended version performed by the duo "khmfn"
(Karl-Heinz Mauermann & Frank Niehusmann).

The music may be described as a futuristic kind of "musique concrète", generated from contemporary factory noises, synthesized robot signals and intensely edited historical machine sounds as well as everyday traffic sounds. In its full-length version it comprises a series of sixteen short pieces, none of which being longer than four minutes.

The sonic part of "Achtung! Future!" is composed and performed live on a laptop computer by Frank Niehusmann.
The video part is compiled (and for the "khmfn"-version performed) by Karl-Heinz Mauermann. It comprises five alternating image elements:
(1) a live recording showing Frank's fingers playing the computer keyboard;
(2) a view of the current audience that may be read as representing tomorrow's audience;
(3) transitory movements through familiar utopian cityscapes, live on stage;
(4) close-ups on eyes gazing into the future;
(5) the most important image element, however, shows nothing: the picture is black.

All pieces of "Achtung! Future!" have titles pointing out single topics, situations or places pertaining to futurity. In between the individual pieces Frank Niehusmann will explain the future.
