“Mantra-rock Dada Pythago-Cubist”

Since 2023, the noble brothers Klek and Khn de Poitrine have been offering a repertoire of cardboard-like instrumental anti-arena-rock which, in the manner of techno music, revolves around a dynamic interplay of adding and subtracting constantly metamorphosing sonic motifs.

Using his nimble toes and an electronic looping module, Khn records in real time and harmonizes multiple layers of melodic ornamentation, constantly alternating between microtonal guitar and bass, which intertwine in angular, chromatic phrases of quarter tones.

In this vortex of repetitive cells, Klek’s drumming, with its muted timbre, behaves with the wisdom and temperance of a sherpa; The gradual and calculated addition of elements or the stoic dosage of silence guides the listener on the journey, making asymmetrical grooves dance, climaxing in intensity or shifting the rhythmic anchor point at the right time.
