about

otherMother

 

The Austrian trio “other:M:other” (consisting of Judith Schwarz, Arthur Fussy and Jul Dillier) aims to create a rhythmic symbiosis of sound. Acoustic and electronic sounds merge seamlessly into one another, creating percussive networks of impulses that draw their inspiration equally from experimental music and beat-based club music. With unconventional instrumentation, extended playing techniques and a free improvisational approach, they explore the boundaries of musical genres and are virtuosos at translating their own sound language into a wide variety of stage settings, concert formats and stylistic contexts. Imagine a missing link between free jazz improvisation and club music and you get the idea of what makes this trio so unique.

„Other rhythmic textures had a more dystopian coloration: especially with Judith Schwarz, a busy Viennese percussionist. Together with pianist Jul Diller and Arthur Fussy on the modular synthesizer, she created an organic, dark sound structure that was nourished above all by the friction between physical and electronic textures - which certainly brought to mind techno or industrial music.“

„Highly refined and sensitive trance music“

“For the second half of the evening, we move to a concert hall in the basement of a brasserie, where the concerts of the festival's most experimental bands take place. Here I see otherMother, one of the best bands of the festival. The trio consists of Arthur Fussy (Moog), Jul Dillier (prepared piano) and Judith Schwarz (dm). Inspired by industrial and repetitive music, the band creates sound loops from junk. Their music combines the finest noise pieces with the energy of rock music doped with Moog electronics. “
