Time Bends by Robyn Schulkowsky, Gebrüder Teichmann

Why say anything at all?
Why not just listen?
Headphones.
Turn up the volume and look how time bends before your eyes
because that is what Robyn Schulkowsky and Andi and Hannes
Teichmann do with their music.
They bend time.
They make a ring out of it or some sort of ellipse, and then they
pull it straight again, they transform it into a rope, and then,
of course, they balance on it, forwards, backwards, half speed,
double speed,
33 rounds per minute, or was it 45?
Just try both.
World percussion meets Techno and Berlin club culture,
one might be tempted to say. One would be wrong to do
so. This is not just crossover, this is just not an „encounter“
between different generations, different experiences,
different cultures, traditions and attitudes and form
asossations of expressions, or, to put it in a more simple
way, an „encounter“ between drums and gongs and bells
and stones and on the other side hardware-electronic and
sequencing, delay and reverb. This is far more complex.
No need to put a label on it.
