DIE SCHRAUBER on Tour in Europe May 31 - June 10

[hanst]

The trio DIE SCHRAUBER is an ongoing collaboration between Hans Tammen, Joker Nies & Mario DeVega involving live sound processing, circuit bending and glitch sampling. The trio was formed to investigate the overlap of various elements of their technical and aesthetic practices.  A wide variety of dense musical textures, high-energy interaction, but also sparse and pointilistic statements result from the sophisticated and immediate control over their electronic instruments – Joker Nies with his resistance sensitive contacts, Mario DeVega’s Teleo-based proximity sensors, and Hans Tammen with his Endangered Guitar controller.

Hans Tammen (New York) works with a wide collection of mechanical devices on his "endangered" guitars, and uses an interactive software of his own design to rework his sounds in realtime. His music has been described as a journey through the land of unending sonic operations, his playing as reverse engineering of the guitar. - www.tammen.org

Joker Nies (Cologne) modifies or builds his instruments to his needs.  Apart from other techniques, he acts as a connector of circuits not  intentionally related. He touches and combines the circuitry of the  instruments through skin-resistance, creating spontaneous and  delicate music with subtle control. - www.klangbureau.de

Mario de Vega (Mexico City) works with real-time sample processing using external devices for data control and his own designed software SPK®. He combines glitch sampling with Teleo devices, body bending and real time signal processing in search of peculiar sound circumstances. - www.mariodevega.info
