Philip Sherburne in his recommendations of the week:
"{...} This new album from Switzerland’s Manuel Troller certainly falls under that umbrella {experimental guitar music}, though it’s much more, too. While the relatively short solo guitar piece “DNA” reminds me of Gastr del Sol at their most emotionally direct, it’s the three-part “Halcyon Future” that’s the real showstopper here: a churning, chugging fantasia for overdubbed guitars and acoustic drums (courtesy Mario Hänni), as well as, eventually, trombone (Michael flury) and soprano sax (Hans Koch) that begins with trim, staccato plucks and just grows and grows and grows, surging and swelling.{...} It’s a wild ride, a breathtaking slalom between abandon and control."
I had the pleasure to compile an hour-long mix of music I recently enjoyed for 'Outsiders' w/meakusma at Radio Kiosk in Brussels. Thx!

Thank you Marc Masters for your words on "Vanishing Points" in The WIRE's Rewind 2018 issue:
"Vanishing Points, his solo debut for three:four, is a near perfect realisation of minimalist guitar potential, particularly the 18 minute track “Wormhole”, a masterful journey into the hypnotic powers of string cycling.“
Thank you Taktlos Festival for the invitation as featured artist and guest curator!

Beautiful review by Julian Cowley about Schnellertollermeier - "Rights" in The Wire - April 2018 issue
I was granted a four-month artist residency in Chicago by the City of Lucerne, Canton of Lucerne and the association Sister Cities Lucerne-Chicago. I will be staying in Chicago from beginning of August until end of November. Thank you!!
Subsequently, I'll be working with Michael Fehr at Villa Aurora residency in Pacific Palisades in December.
I'm very excited and pleased to announce that I'm currently the first "Associated Artist" in Music at Südpol in Lucerne! That means, we will work on various ideas and realize new projects with the whole team within the next two years.
The first thing to happen is a new series with Schnellertollermeier starting this wednesday 24th of february. We will play brandnew and unfinished material, mess around with it, extend and experiment with it over 8 concerts and a period of 5 months.
This series will happen in various rooms at Südpol - depending on the size of the room, tickets will sometimes be limited to a small amount.
Join us!!
More info on Südpol-homepage and their facebook-page.
