about

Dedicated to John Cage and Eric Dolphy.

Listen loud. Headphones are recommended.
This time we wanted to create something brutal and visceral, something that cleans your head after a stressfull day of work: a whirlwind of noise, feedbacks, screams and audio destruction, de-composed for a cleansing experience to make you feel the experience of silence more intensely after listening to this record.
This is a noise album with different influences from field recordings to free jazz, where we expand our sound with distorted field recordings of singing birds on "Flächenbrand", screams in "Men Are For Burning" and the use of drums and guitars on the track "The Shape Of Noise To Come".
Keep calm and enjoy the silence, that will follow after the last track.

Special thanks to Jeff, who supported us on drums!

Vincent Göttler: pedals, guitar, screams
Hügelmann: pedals, guitar, screams
Jeff Burido: drums + percussion (on "The Shape Of Noise To Come")

Recorded in Octobre 2020, mixed and mastered in February 2021

Field recording on "The Shape Of Noise Come" recorded at night on 26.7.2019 at Hügelmann's home.
