Starting with Space Rock in the late 70ies, meanwhile we are really "no-stylers" - just letting the sound develop itself while playing. Most tracks are out "of the blue" ("Ex tempore"): no arrangement (though our older content was arranged), just live improvisations, recorded with our weekly sessions - cleaned up and mastered. Sort of sonic sand mandala, produce and let go, blown by the wind. Here we are... Thomas Langer - guitars Waldemar Barkowski - keyboard, vocals, e-drums ("Beat Buddy" pedal) Bernd Hahn - bass and percussion
Band/artist history
We all met somewhen in the 70ies, some handfull of boys encountering the high time of "luvnpeace" aera, and for sure each of us loved the extreme enforcement and surprising variety of the international manifesting underground music sector then. Wed had sessions with lots of amateur musicians over the time, but werent yet into founding a band then. Tom has been playing the guitar since his early youth. In the duration he had too much influences and inspirations to count them here - thus, soon he succeeded finding his very own, unique style... Some of his all-time-favorites were and are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac and all the like, to even modern funky and jazzy elements. Waldemar felt mostly inspired by psychedelic underground and spacerock like Hawkwind, Velvet Underground, Yes, Van Der Graaf Generator, to name just a few. He deepened his musical experience in using everything suitable for making sound, finally being not just the technical basic sound sculptor of the band but doing all the video and cg animation work as well. Bernd lived in India for a while, encountering the old way of ethnic percussion music. He even stayed with Babaji Ashram for a while, which influenced him playing the percussion or the bass in a meditative, somehow trancy and sometimes minimalistic style. He is the one to record all of our stuff into PC and making the first takes and premixes. In the early 80ies we decided time to be ripe for us founding our own indie rockband "Soviet Sex", influenced by the rudimental punkwave and the early forming grunge and puristic metal styles. We lost contact for more than one and a half decades because of job, families and all that time ripping circumstances. Tom and Waldemar had a project in the late 90ies, "Solar Traveller", rock - oriented, sometimes psychedelic clubsound with event-dependant varying members like saxophonists, keyboarders, bassists, female singers. Meeting again then we spontaneously promised each other not to lose contact again. When we 3 had our first jam session after so many years we agreed in having had the same old fun than with our very first contact. This was the namegiving for our new bandproject. And, of course, as we all are somehow into SciFi, hoping mankind to have a real first contact to alien intelligence someday...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Sure we have. Not the big biz, but clubs, pubs and parties.
Your musical influences
to much to tell...:)
What equipment do you use?
Everything to get sound out of it...*lol*
Anything else?
Keep peace and respect your next one...
