About the artists:
SENKING is Cologne's Jens Massell, who also records as Fumble and as
part of Poto & Cabengo. As Senking, Massell makes darkly atmospheric
music that is deep, dubby, and intensely cinematic. His most recent
CD, List, is out now on Raster-Noton. This will be his first U.S.
performance.
FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER is a founding member of Raster-Noton and one of
the pioneering figures in ultra minimal post techno. Using the most
basic sound sources--sine waves and white noise--Bretschneider creates
minimal, flowing pieces with delicate textures and complex rhythmic
patterns.
OLAF BENDER is a founding member of the Raster-Noton label, as well as
its lead designer. Bender (formerly known as Byetone) creates his
music digitally, assembling sine tones into complex sound fabrics of
deep sub-bass and rhythmic clicks and crackles. He creates abstract
animations to support his abstract music -in this way the rhythm of
music is transformed into a graphic equivalent, which Bender controls
in real time.
