electronic noise, experimental but some ambient soundscape focus, avant-garde version, maybe somewhere between Firth and Tangerine Dream, feedback flutter, buzz, hum, gargle, beep ding laser beam and kitchen sink percussion, squeak crackle pop, not trying to be too abrasive but also not trying to be too boring, undercurrent of menace running through the various selections.

Reto Mäder works at the periphery of music and noise with a weakness for atonal boxhauling and melancholic melodies. He scrapes surfaces and reveals very personal tracks filled with desperate, contemplative, but also grippingly paranoid moments full of frequential surprises. The pieces of Mäder’s studies of aleatoric electro-acoustics includes a broad spectrum of sound sources like piano, organ, guitar, amp, harp, analogue and digital electronics, computer and field recordings. Mäder has been actively involved in electro-acoustic music since 1995. This resulted in 4 solo albums, a collaboration with RLW aka Ralf Wehowsky and in being a part of the actionist music group Ohne, together with Dave Phillips (Schimpfluch Gruppe, ex-Fear Of God), Tom Smith (To Live And Shave In L.A.) and Daniel Löwenbrück (owner of ‘Tochnit Aleph’-label).
