SO SNER
Susanna Gartmayer – bass clarinet
Stefan Schneider – electronics
SO SNER is a duo which consists of Susanna Gartmayer and Stefan Schneider. They started their working relationship in 2015 around the Approximation Festival in Dusseldorf. Gartmayer's bass clarinet polyphonies so impressed Schneider that he quickly suggested a collaboration. That same year, they began recording what was later to become their first album REIME in Kraftwerk's former Kling Klang studio, which in 2015 served as a community workspace and a concert venue. The second part of the album was recorded in the summer of 2020 in Dusseldorf at a church, whose interior wood paneling facilitated organic acoustics. So Sner;s sound is equally oriented towards experiment and tradition, whose roots can be traced back to the UK of the early 80s: an era in which post punk, jazz, avant-garde and polyrhythm were blended with the help of intellectualism and punk attitude in such a way that manifold sketches of possible music emerged which are only being colorized today. In 2022 the debut album „REIME“ was released and it quickly gained international praise. Some press excerpts: Beachsloth: A breathy sensual physical experience, So Sner delivers a wonderful series of sounds with “Reime”. When the whole of the album comes into full bloom it gains a degree of majesty about it one that feels doubly refreshing.....“Reime” features So Sner’s exquisite sharpness for they create a universe that absolutely pops with life. Salt Peanuts: «Reime» succeeds to integrate the experimental, sound-oriented approaches of Gartmayer and Schneider with minimalist, cosmic beats. The atmosphere of the album is chamber and psychedelic at the same time, floating gently between vintage electronica, mysterious drones and abstract dreamscapes.
MIKI YUI
Since 1999 she is known for her unique minimalistic and organic approach towards music. From a delicate tiny hiss to a distant hum, electronic sounds and field recordings are woven into music with a narrative tension. Her 7th solo album APERIO! is released in 2020 from Hallow Ground. She collaborated with Klaus Dinger, Rolf Julius and Carl Stone and Asmus Tietchens.
