Electronic music is not just about twiddling knobs and sat at your laptop baking beats. Simon Popp and and Florian König demonstrate this ably with their track Raul, presented here as a wonderful video.
9ms is the duo of Simon Popp and Florian König. On their wide ranging debut album ‚Pleats‘ the tech-savvy drummers offer grooves from the dubbier realms of World Music and Krautrock – some meditative and light, some thick as wall and steady as a clock.
The album was recorded live in a large wooden hall in the Bavarian Alps with only three microphones. Using various infrared and magnetic field sensors, Popp and König were able to translate their movements into control voltage, which they then used to trigger and tweak synthesizers and a myriad of effects. A way for two humans to become one with their mystic machinery.
The track is also accessible via Soundcloud below. You can also give the album a listen on Spotify, or you can buy the album on vinyl from Bandcamp.
