Fast verträumt hallen Gesang und Synthesizerklänge durch den Raum. Die Songs schweben zwischen Sehnsüchten und der Realität von manch bitterem Alltag. Flächige Sounds, sanfte Stimmen und tragende Bässe werden geweckt von sachten und auch treibenden Beats. Musik zum Lauschen und zum Tanzen.

Visuell begleitet durch eine verwobene Mischung aus träumerischer Realität und transluziden Übermalungen. Verschobene Naturaufnahmen, verschwommene Texturen, gebrochene Farben und bewegte Maskierungen. Das Spiel mit der Wahrnehmung durch detailreiche Überlagerungen und einem entschleunigendem Sog aus Bildern.

Aug.unis, augmented unison

Aug.unis, augmented unison, is a dissonant musical interval that is identical in sound to a chromatic semitone. It has unison in its name, yet it sounds the opposite, almost the furthest thing from unison. In the simultaneous playing of the interval of the augmented prime, a pulsating oscillation appears, calling for a divorce. The electroacoustic oscillations calling for a divorce are the main building block of the aug.unis duo. The sound synthesis is analogue, they don’t use prepared „presets“, so the improvisations/compositions are often fused into a continuous flow of layering selected oscillator frequencies and occasional rhythms.
