In Echtzeit by Schall/Formen

Schall/Formen explores the interaction between acoustic sounds and their electronic modulation in real time. The duo aims to reflect on the boundaries between these two realms: Acoustic instruments are microphoned, combined with the rhythms of an analog drum machine, and modulated in real time using a mixing console with interacting delay lines, tangled feedback loops, and subtle equalizer adjustments. No computers, DAWs, or software - just pure sound and electricity.

Based on this method, Schall/Formen's aesthetics are characterized by a raw yet intricate sound that blends influences from jazz, dub, ambient, and clicks & cuts.

The album "In Echtzeit" features two rare concert recordings from early 2023: Side A was captured at the finissage of the art exhibition "Bricolage" at the Kunstmuseum Solothurn, while side B is a recording from the Anstadt Bern, where Schall/Formen performed at the event "Liegen im Vakuum".
