Traeume (55:25)

MARTIN GITSCHEL (Glit(S)ch) - instruments STEFAN KNAPPE (Baraka(H)) - instruments One long vibrating sequence. Opening DENOVALI SWINGFEST ESSEN FESTIVAL is an ambient/drone duo from Bremen, Germany. TROUM means DREAM in ancient northern german language, and that's what it is about. Transforming the unknown dream sequences of one's mind into acoustic vibrating sounds... Or, better read something from their description on their own website... TROUM's creations are influenced by post-industrial, minimal and drone-music. Both members use guitar, bass, voice, accordion, balalaika, flute, mouth-organ, melodica, gong, field recordings, pre-recorded-tapes and a diversity of sound-objects to build a kind of multi-layered and highly atmospheric dreaming-muzak. Their sound could be described as "dark atmospheric ambient industrial", "transcendental noise" or just "Tiefenmusik". TROUM doesn't work with synths, samplers or computer-soundsources, the sounds are created "by hand" to reach a broader sensibility. TROUM uses a spiral as their logo, expressing the trance-inducing potential of the music and the wish to reach inner, deeper spheres of the mind with it. Music as a door to unknown & alien dimensions. Music as an expression of the mystery of existence itself.
