BEYOND THE BEAT Beyond the Beat is the debut album of Arthur Fussy/Modular Synthesizer and Judith Schwarz/Extended Drums. Both make up 2/3 of the group Other:M:Other whose debut album was released on Klanggalerie, and whose second album will follow soon. Arthur also works for the theatre, and Judith plays in many bands, amongst others Gina Schwarz's Pannonica, Mel*E, PRCDR with Manu Mayr, ChuffDrone and Little Rosies Kindergarten. Beyond the Beat is a rhythmic affair. Where does a beat start? When do the brain and conscience recognize a pattern? How abstract can a beat be to still be recognizable by the listener? Is rhythm a melody? Beyond the Beat explores the borders of rhythm and beat in a symbiosis of acoustic and electronic sounds. Get into their groove and marvel at the players' virtuosity. An absolutely essential album at the border of jazz, electronic and avant-garde. CD presentation. P:Y:G The trio P:Y:G, consisting of Robert Pockfuß (electric guitar), Alex Yannilos (drums, electronics) and Jakob Gnigler (tenor saxophone), has been playing improvised music since 2015, situated between contemporary music, jazz-core and noise. The conventional functions of the instruments are dissolved through mutual imitation. Brittle, staccato-laced sound fragments, polyrhythmic structures with simple melodies, brutally bursting walls of noise or drones become part of a P:Y:G-typical fast-paced sonic landscape in a wonderfully quirky way.
