«A collection of pieces about the discovery of sounds and sonic universes hidden in objects, places and within yourself.» - @feldermelder & @jsartorius

Commissioned by the legendary concert venue ‘Bad Bonn’ in Düdingen, Switzerland, and the KRAN project, ‘Bonn Route’ is a collaborative album by electronic musician Feldermelder and percussionist Julian Sartorius. It is both a location-based sound walk that can be experienced on-site in the village of Düdingen, and as a full length album. The eleven tracks are a sonic homage to, and an artistic interpretation of a small village in Switzerland’s heartland. 
Building on his practice of site specific performances and percussive sound walks, Julian Sartorius captured sounds and patterns at eleven locations: the train station and cemetary, on the banks of a stream, on a bycicle bridge, and in an intimate cavern above the village’s lake, among others. Sartorius’ documented the soundscape of the village in field recordings, recorded samples of objects and captured percussive patterns by playing on the architecture and vegetation found on-site. 
Feldermelder then processed these recordings into eleven compositions, preserving the locations’ acoustic identities, but expanding on Sartorius’ material. Besides the bassline on ‘Velobrücke’, Feldermelder used nothing but sound reactive synthesis and resonators to create additional sounds, layers and tracks, thus multiplying the spectrum and rhythms of the original material. ‘Bonn Route’ is a musical journey rooted in sounding and resonating with the world around us. 

Feldermelder is a Swiss musician, sound designer, producer and installation artist. He is co-founder of -OUS and part of the audiovisual collective Encor.studio. He has previously released several releases on -OUS, both solo and in collaboration with Sara Oswald.

Drummer, artist and percussionist Julian Sartorius’ precise and multi-layered rhythmical patterns are keen excursions into the hidden tones of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the vocabulary of (experimental) electronic music. He has previously released his album «Locked Grooves» on -OUS.
