"Touch Live on September 26th 2009 at Todaysart 09, Den Haag featured Biosphere, Philip Jeck, Hildur Gudnadottir, Jana Winderen & The Eternal Chord. Biosphere gave an intimate performance in the Lutherse Kerk, a very small church.

Recorded straight from the mixing desk to an Ares Pll Nagra digital recorder."

Strotter Inst. is generating dense sound- and rhythm-structures by using five modified and manipulated Lenco-turntables and various cut or scotched records. The music ranges from a low-fi rumble changing into concrete clicks and scrapes, followed by epic drones and multilayered broken beats to fall back into tricky bass-meditations. Hardly using sounds from LPâs the main source of sound are the prepared pick-ups (i.e. sewing needles or strings instead of the diamond or the extended use of rubber bands). The treatment involves the unclean nature of the sounds as part of the music.

This performance was recorded live April 17, 2010 at Comet Ping Pong in Washington DC.

Live set recorded for the netlabel alg-a at Alg-a Lab, on December 9 2009.
Xedh playing electronics + Berio playing galician bagpipe.

Composed improvisation, in three acts, around the magnificence of the Man, its origins and its exponential perception.

KHEOSTATIC is an improvised play with a total duration of about three hours trying in an encyclopaedic way to make a sound transcription of several elements which constitute the human reality, in its language, intellectuality and action. In the first part, now published, the human perception was condensed in sound signs of the avant-garde, concrete and electroacoustic, through the recourse to an immediate and proto-metaphysical language, in narrow correlation with the possible conceptuality of the matter and its relations with the spirit. The three KHEOSTATIC‘s parts will be live recorded at La Société de Curiosités, Paris.

Discovered recently, Quasars are celestial bodies which, of drift in waterfalls without stand-in, float towards Octopus. The origin and the nature of their powerful electro-magnetic radiations are not still well known. The first visible radio sources of these sound materials, collide in a universe abandoned in the intuition. Every sound is deliberate accident. The abnormality resounds by slidings in the meanders of the Cosmos.

This session is recorded Live at la ferme Ta gueule (Olivet-France) on 08.10.16 by themselves; before a radiophonic tour in october/november 2008: Radio Canut (Lyon-France), Radio Campus (OrlÈans-France) et KKWNE (stream live).

On April 1, 2010, the Swiss avant-garde turntablist, Strotter Inst. set up a pair of old Lenco turntables, prepared with rubber bands and all manner of devices, and played a crack(l)ing live set on Rare Frequency. Strotter Inst. (Christoph Hess) was in the midst of three-month U.S. tour.

Strotter Inst. - проект швейцарского музыканта и анти-диджея Кристофа Гесса, который собирает старые виниловые проигрыватели, нагружает их всякими проводами, пластиковыми плёнками и железками, словом, всем что попадётся под руку, а затем создаёт суровые симфонии ритмов и текстур, используя только проигрыватель и звукосниматель, никаких пластинок. Никакой чужой музыки, проигрыватель сам становится инструментом, способным на нечто большее. Альбомы Strotter Inst. наполнены звуковой палитрой, близкой к минимал-электронике, однако более органичной и живой.
