“Cercle is my most spiritual project. The most introspective. In this little EP the music flows, the themes don’t have any concrete structure, and maybe this gives the sensation of a visual dream, the sensation that you are floating, and you could create images, thoughts, sensations…. Not having a concrete structure, there’s no beginning, no end; it’s like a circle!
All the songs were recorded in one or two takes. Only with a nylon guitar.
The music was almost improvised, except the theme ‘Nils’ that was a rework of the pianist Nils Frahm, from one song of his album Screws, trying to ‘move’ the sounds of his personal piano, to the guitar..
I recorded this EP with Hector Xiqués ( I/O Estudi de Gravació, Barcelona), and we tried to give that especial sound of the guitar, with some delays, and reverbs.
This is a joint release with Alchemistica netlabel.”

“The Biotop Label kicks of 2013 with the most experimental release so far.
‘Krautfass 3000 combines different fragments of musical history and genres to create an explosive flow of psycho-sensory quodlibets that exist somewhere between chaos and order.’
Krautfass 3000 is an innovative band-project combining music & art performances. Their music develops always intuitive, there‘s never a plan what they will play, it‘s a surprise for everybody – most of all for themselves. As Studio-neighbours of Biotop Label-Head Patrick Zigon they are quite a big influence in Patrick‘s music and way of working generally. He already collaborated with a few Krautfass 3000-musicians for his album The Alpha State. So it‘s about time to release their debut-ep on Biotop.
Little Voice was recorded live at the ‘Kunstnacht Konstanz 2012’ in Southern Germany, when Krautfass 3000 played their concert under the ‘Rhein-Bridge’, as highlight of the event. Additionally german visual-artist Roxana Purmandi made an amazing video for this 12-minutes-journey.
Biotop-resident Paulo Olarte and Flix reworked the experimental original-files into their very own deep, dubby and soulful versions.”

“Independent project, where you won’t find any kind of political or commercial influence on music, moreover there is no one-style sounding. On Toys Market concerts you might hear some horror music, mixed with hard hip-hop bits, deliberately played childrens songs and freakish scratch. Special attention is given to wind instruments timbre,
improvisations of witch are developing in modal-jazz.”
