blauwurf (Eric Schörghofer & Michael Zacherl)

Eric Schörghofer – digital electronics
Michael Zacherl – analogue electronics

Two musicians with different electronic instruments who do not insist on their differences but also do not deny them. blauwurf explore the timbres of synthetically generated and everyday sounds ranging from the lower to the upper verge of the hearing range, thereby often challenging the listener’s perception. Their experimental playing comprises amalgamated and divergent sound structures that are an important part of their improvisational work. The better part of blauwurf’s music is fully improvised, played live, no sequencers and no overdubs are used.
