TRIALOGOS
STROH ZU GOLD (EXILE ON MAINSTREAM)
label:
EXILE ON MAINSTREAM
Following Tony Conrad's concept of maximalism in minimal music, TRIALOGOS' widescreen super 8 soundscapes and occasional haunted house vocals conjure up visions of winter lost beaches, bats dancing upside down and sojourns in permanent dawn.
What we hear in these "trialogues" is one word sounding through the other. Like in a doubly exposed photograph, the individual elements become both more ethereal and more defined.
They touch and blend, align and dissociate at the same time and take on the remarkable capacity of ghosts: the ability to inhabit one another, one voice speaking through the other.
TRIALOGOS are Conny Ochs, Sicker Man and Kiki Bohemia, each of them coming from different musical backgrounds and experiences.
While singer-songwriter and visual artist Conny Ochs is a troubled troubadour of the special kind, who gained massive recognition for his highly praised collaborations with Wino, Sicker Man works as a composer and producer for film and theatre scores and explores the musical field in between experimental pop, noise and instant composition, using and processing the cello as his main instrument.
The third corner point of this mystical triangle is represented by Kiki Bohemia, a singer and autodidactic player of lost and found instruments and toys, who is also Sicker Man's longtime partner in a variety of different projects, such as the doom duo Slutty Clowns.
