loodpool
Founded in early 2002 in Berlin loodpool put up a recording studio in an empty 11-storey-building in Berlin-Hellersdorf were an art-project took place. There we wrote and recorded our first songs reflecting the life in the house and the surroundings. The results can now be downloaded from this page.
Our new album is almost finished. 11 Songs were recorded at Low Swing Studios with engineer Guy Steinberg.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Founded by Stephan Nico in early 2002 in Berlin-Pankow with Christian Liebig on drums. Peter Kalmar joinded in April or so. Some unspectacular and (very loud) rehearsals were followed by the recording of our first 7 songs in our own studio in Berlin-Hellersdorf.
In 2004 Peter Kalmar left to follow his own musical projects, Marcus Neuenfeldt joined the band on bass. New album due in autumn.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play whenever possible and the venue and audience wants us to play
Your musical influences
Very different. We agree on any kind of music that transports a certain mood or feeling. Guess 'feeling' is a key-word in our songs and music. But we dont care if its jazz, pop, rock, electronica or anything. Any musical style has its own qualities.
What equipment do you use?
All we can get hold of. Especially lots of guitar effects such as Boss, Line 6, Ibanez, Electro Harmonix...
Anything else?
We would really like to do music for a film or anything visual (could be for a theatre-piece too). If you got an idea, write to us. Ah, and some remixes would be great ...
