From Lyon in France, Kaumwald’s music is right on the edge between challenging artistic excursions and curatorial common grounds. Built on penetrating continuums, spitting drum patterns, harsh spasms and drifting echoes, sounds evolve as if driven by some autonomous mutant mechanism, comparable to Jean Tinguely’s “machinery for machineries-sake”.
Live, constant changes inside a repeating structure starting with few pre-recorded or locked elements, the duo plays in a krautrock-like improvised/conducted way. This is electronic music rooted in immediate sensations and always re-defined by the dynamic and randomness of the gesture. Using modular synths, looped cassette tapes, voices, field recordings, mechanic driven hurdy gurdy and heavy treatments, Kaumwald recycles techno, noise, musique concrète and dub technics into a spontaneous dubbing act.
