Improv Session Rieko Okuda and Frank - Set One

Frank creates a unique soundscape in the transition from noise to music. In 2023, he has arranged his improv set with hints of melodies, sporadic rhythms and sound structures formed by a variety of analogue sound samples. These are integrated into the digital signals of a no-input mixer. Another element is the Super Resonator. This is a resonator guitar modified by Michael Danner. Driven by a motor, the strings are set into permanent vibration and generate a endless sustain. This leads to a radical change in the sound and handling of the instrument.

SICKER MAN
is the solo-projekt of TOBIAS VETHAKE
classical instruments like guitars, zither, glockenspiel and cello are mixed with electronic toys and synthesizer and then enstranged with heaps of analog effect-pedals.
you could call it FOLKTRONIKA, but it's more than just a guitar and a laptop. folk songs wrapped in orchestral soundscapes.
„creating music is at first about absolute intuition, a room full of instruments, toys to play with. afterwards i look at what i have recorded and pick everything that is relevant.
i think, any music that is released should add something new to the large pool of music that is already existing."
