GS LIVE is an experimental party series at Club Zukunft in Zurich. The concept entails all artists performing and improvising live – a challenging task, not only for the musicians but also for their audience on the dance floor. Grégory Poncet (Gregorythme, Digitaline), Daniel Ramm & Frank Greiner (Pikaya) originally met in this setting, connected their machines and visibly enjoyed themselves. It was in that night, when they decided to create a split EP together.
Gregorythme takes the A-side. The story about the planet ‘UmmO’, 14.6 light years away from the earth, is mysterious and nebulous. Just like the track: full of fantastic moments, intensive and spherical. )+(
The B-side ‘Amsterdam’ by Pikaya is based on a faint idea that emerged from the warmth and cosiness of a hotel bed in Amsterdam. It has been recorded and arranged live with a very basic setup. The moody bass line, the fat dubby chords and the soft pads convey the sensation of a unique jam session. Superb music with live character!
Around December we will be back with a stunning release by Pompelmoessap (Plak, Geneva) and Ion Ludwig (Quagmire, Perlon, Berlin) – please stay tuned.
