schtum (at)

The Vienna-based duo Schtum around Manu Mayr (Kompost 3, Synaesthetic 4, 5K HD) and Robert Pockfuß (Gesangskapelle Hermann, Ensemble Pneuma) produce brute-noisy, rhythmic noise based entirely on analog equipment. Equipped with a guitar and a bass, a mono buzzer and effect pedals, the two musicians pursue an exploratory approach: oscillating rhythms peel out of the noise-scapes, bringing the inherent life of the instruments and devices to the fore. We enter a world of feedback loops, sub-bass frequencies and repetitive structures.
