Electric Tiger
We make SLAMBIENT music. "Slambient" was a term a roommate and childhood of Woden Thoth coined for an piece of music consisting of heavily effected bass guitar and a PAIA synthesizer. We are Woden Thoth (electric mandolin, bass guitar), Red Eyed Coyote (electric guitars, violin) and Pinki Li (electronic percussion, keyboards). Almost all of the music we make is completely improvisational, biting and blistering, a fusion of various heavy metals, ambient, psychedelic and avant garde sounds in free jam approach utilizing impromptu chaos factors...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We've been around for several years now, released a half dozen albums.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Electric Tiger plays nowhere live because the music is irreproducible live. Listen to it, you'll see what I mean.
