History
The group was founded in 1984 by musicians Christoph Harbonier ( Christoph Harbonnier ) and Christian Wittmann ( Christian Wittmann ). In 1991, leaving Tangerine Dream , Paul Haslinger joined them. Also, the famous French experimental musician Hector Zazou collaborated with musicians.
This is one of the few French groups whose goal is to use electronic equipment to create original instrumental music that goes beyond both classical and electronic music. In their work, musicians experiment with synthesizers , combining electronic sound with live bowed and wind instruments, sometimes using the singer’s live or distorted voice as an additional instrument.
The group is also distinguished by originality in choosing concert venues for their performances. For example, musicians arranged live concerts at the Gasometer in Oberhausen (Germany) or in French caves ( en: Vercors Cave System ) [1] [2] .
