The music of these Essen-based neo-avant-gardists seemed to come from distant spheres. Sven Hermann (accordion) and Matthias Hettmer (electric bass) used the signals from their instruments in the field of semi-acoustics to expose them to complete electronic modulation. Beguiling clusters of notes flowed into the ether, turning into bursting cascades in a matter of seconds, condensing, as if appearing out of nowhere, into a constant crescendo to form a wall of sound that was difficult to bear.
[Eric Zwang Erikson in the Augsburger Zeitung of 20.03.2006 after the Mozart Festival on the premiere of the music NEKROPOLIS VI (To the Apocaliptic Rider) to the silent film SKIZZEN ZU MOZART by Jevgenij Kondratiev]
