ECHO by Stroehm-Music
This new music album ECHO has been played and recorded live in the studio. No overdubs are used; the only interventions that would contain a purely experimental live free improvisation are the editing of endless improvisation sessions to an acceptable and listenable time and balancing the volume ratio of the different audio tracks.
In Ströhm's case, there are no role models from the experimental and electronic music scene. Due to the age and life experiences of the musicians, there are sound similarities of German experimental Krautrock (Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Can, etc.) as well as electronic music of the 1970/80s to be discovered. But they are not models in the sense of imitating or emulating - one could call it a contemporary, cultural reference, which lies in the meaning as music of a time and generation.
The production of music here is rather a spontaneous one, because it is relatively free, not foreign, but self-determined. During the playful-improvisational handling of sounds on the keyboards, a wide variety of musical expressions, articulations, melodic and harmonic shapes, rhythms, dynamic gradations and possibilities of instrumental-technical movement patterns are produced.
As a two-person music project and owners of our own website: en.stroehm-music.de/music-to-buy , we have been dealing intensively with purely improvisational music for some time now. Ströhm try not to make too many compromises, preferably no compromises at all with the music; what counts is the here and now.
