The album Seldom Somber marks the official debut of the band known as Inside the Baxter Building. The trio, which consists of musicians Simon Petermann, Samuel Würgler and sound artist Fabian Gutscher, is out to explore the possibilities of real-time electronic sound processing and manipulation. This is a project that would make John Cage smile, if he was still around to hear it.

The music on this album is a celebration of the vast world of sound, sound in its pure form. The music found here is primarily electronic in nature, but it's beautifully complemented and supported by sections played on a  trombone and trumpet. All of the electronic sounds and textures audible here were acoustically generated and then manipulated in real time using analog and digital effects – with the ultimate intent of exploring the limits and possibilities of what's technically feasible at the moment. The outcome is a warm, rich, layered sound palette, one that defies simple categorization. Inside The Baxter Builder truly sound like no other.

Album der Woche - Seldom Somber

Inside the Baxter Building experimentiert mit der Erweiterung von akustischen Instrumenten mit analogen und digitalen Effekten in der improvisierten Musik. Mit gefühlten 5 km Kabel hat sich diese Band verdrahtet, verbunden und verknüpft, und so einen Organismus geschaffen, der einer Hydra gleich von drei kreativen Köpfen gesteuert wird. 2014 wagt sich dieses Ungetüm nun ein erstes Mal ans Tageslicht. Wesen der Unterwelt, nehmt euch in Acht!
