Concert | STROM
STROM (Angelika Sheridan/Flute/Bassflute and Frank Niehusmann/Electronic) is charmingly reminiscent of old Kraftwerk times, but plays completely contemporary with wit and new music tricks.
STROM are Angelika Sheridan (Flute/Bassflute) and Frank Niehusmann (Electronic).
Tiny time shifts in the musical sound space create fascinating minimal beats and floating micro-modulations. Air and data streams from bassflute and electronics condense their multicoloured staccato tones in open improvisation lines into freely breathing noise textures.
