Karlsruhe, Germany

Kammerflimmer Kollektief: Thomas Weber (guitar), Heike Aumüller (harmonium), Johannes Frisch (double bass), Dietrich Foth (saxophones), Christopher Brunner (drums/vibraphone), Heike Wendelin (violin). Formed in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1997, they have released to date 9 albums, and have appeared on many jazz and electronic compilation albums.

I felt like a group of one. The resource as well as the raw material was my record collection; the result appeared in 1999 under the titled Mäander on the Weilheim-based payola-label. A simulation of jazz with pop appeal (melodies!). “Instrumental drones & central European freakouts on violins and reeds. A kind of European down home NoWave” was what Matt ffytche in The Wire called it.
