“Berlin Atonal 2014. The past, the present. The space. The line-up. The city of Berlin. Many friends and colleagues wandering in and out of our peripheral vision. Our first live-gig with new material from both our most recent album on Archives Intérieures and the new EP on Stroboscopic Artefacts. In many ways an intense thing to look forward to. A slight touch of nervousness crept in just before the set. But then, right after kicking off the first track everything falls into place. As things progressed during the performance we found ourselves smiling at each other, slowly easing into improvisational mode. There was a sense of playful control. Rarely did we encounter an opportunity so tailored to our sound and performance approach. Needless to say we enjoyed the show immensely. That’s also why we decided to put the recording out into the world. It will never beat the real thing, but we hope there is enough energy and wonder left in this recording to make you understand why we enjoyed this one a lot.” — Sendai
