Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly delicate, hyper-minimalist collaboration blending Stangl's sparse acoustic guitar improvisations with Kurzmann's subtle laptop processing. 'Schnee' (Snow) perfectly captures the freezing, quiet isolation of its title, relying heavily on prolonged silences and microscopic electronic glitches. Released via Erstwhile, it is a highly revered benchmark within the European electroacoustic improvisation and lowercase communities.
