visit www.adrianfrey.ch

The group DOM, formed around Swiss drummer Dominik Burkhalter, is laboring in an impressive manner on the interface of jazz, hardcore and ambient. The young quintet plays an explosive mix of contemporary music in a hi-energy live act. The musicians are able to switch easily between spherical soundscapes and brutish rock outbursts, with melodic parts giving a vital contrast to some complex structures. It may even sometimes sound Zappaesque, without losing its focus on the wide expanse of rock and club culture within the field of electronic music.

Originally founded in 1999 as an instrumental quartet, DOM is presenting itself now in a new shape with the addition of charismatic vocalist Bruno Amstad from Lucerne. The relaunch of the band has obviously gone a step further, as the most recent recordings clearly show. But still, most compositions are written by bandleader Burkhalter, while singer Amstad is responsible for all the lyrics. The musicians involved contribute their individual musicianship, which is great throughout. Urban Lienert plays solid basslines, Oliver Keller shows an outstanding guitar technique and Hans-Peter Pfammatter uses a variety of carefully chosen stylish sounds.

DOM have found their very individual band sonic by composing a soundmix that has never been heard before. The result is a particulary colourful and intense music, that catches the ear of the listener immediately, without allowing the slightest chance to escape.

www.dom-music.ch

Asphalt Jungle plays contempory intelligent clubmusic that can be described as phuture drum'n'bass & electronic punkk. They play in the framework of partyevents, surrounded by DJ's. The band is also a part of the party, integrated in the event at hand, also from the light- and stage-design and prefer not to be "specially featured". AJ wants to interact with the public in an alternative way compared to the DJ sets. They accomplish this with the absence of samples and drum-loops, because it would restrict the dynamic's and tempo of their open concept. Instead AJ attempts with their punctual approach to rhythm and
harmonies with regards to the contrast of the limitations of studio programmed music. Though the live-instrumentation doesn't give a way to an over-produced sound, giving way still for improvisation and quick interaction between the band and very much so with the public. One could say this is the main mission of Asphalt Jungle to keep the public feeling they are a vital part of the sound they're hearing and the show they're attending.

VAULT lotet die Schnittstelle zwischen Elektronik, improvisierter Musik und ?Intelligent Break Beats? aus. Bestehend aus Hans-Peter Pfammatter (Keyboards/ Elektronik/Laptop) und Dominik Burkkhalter (Live-Drums/Laptop). Beide Musiker spielen seit längerer Zeit in verschiedensten musikalischen Kontexten zusammen. Beide haben sich auf ihrem Gebiet zu einer eigenen musikalischen Grösse und Persönlichkeit entwickelt; Hans-Peter Pfammatters Versiertheit bezüglich elektronischer sowie improvisierter Musik und Dominik Burkhalters Fähigkeit, abstrakte, technisch höchst anspruchsvolle, Schlagzeug-Patterns, die sonst nur auf computerprogrammierter Basis gehört werden, zu adaptieren.

Mit VAULT wollen die beiden die Essenz aus alldem zusammenfügen und eine neue Form von improvisierter elektronischer Musik schaffen. Die Musik hat einen klaren konzertanten, künstlerischen Anspruch und will sich nicht als ?Dance-Floor-Act? verstehen. Trotzdem kann sie in Clubathmosphäre sowie auf einer ?normalen? Konzertbühne bestehen.
