about

Eigengrau is the color we observe in complete darkness or with our eyes closed. It is not pure black, as we supposedly experience intrinsic light generated by our own eyes. Although often seemingly static, eigengrau can be perceived as swirling patterns and shapes of visual noise. It is capable of generating the most spectacular beauty despite a complete absence of contrast and color.

Our album features frequencies that are twirling and twisting, static or stingy. From deep, endless landscapes of drones to in-your-face electric hits, subs that massage your ass and high tingle that massages your brain. Close your eyes and see it all evolving in your Eigengrau. The album was primarily created with a no-input analog mixer, with the addition of a few sparsely appearing instruments such as bowed electric bass, saxophone and chord organ, and a lot of crazy effect pedals. Everything was improvised and most of the sounds are pure frequencies created by feedback loops within the mixer and effects in the signal chain. Those sounds are incredibly pure and intense and evoke otherworldly landscapes and dreamlike echoes. Enjoy!
