“The unique electronic-acoustic collaboration of two internationally celebrated artists based on improvisation and raw creative live sampling.”
Amazing jam session with Bugge and Schwarz recorded at the Red Bull Music Academy yesterday. Bugge on grand piano/ Rhodes and Henrik manning the synthesizers, using Ableton live to combine the beats. A great insight to how these guys perform live, and the future progression of live dance music.
Wesseltofts harmonic chords and strong melodies are being send to his partners workstation. On the fly sampling and effective looping leads to layers and complex textures filling up the room with simple beauty. Schwarz also adds light percussion fragments, strong rhythmic patterns. The call and response feel of their mainly improvised electronic-acoustic music and ambience soundscapes keeps the listeners tension all night long. This show is an audiovisual experience with the music being perfectly underlined by a tasteful modern live-visuals performance. Exceptional!
Ace , Ace , Ace , Awesome … I will be there in a few weeks myself … will be my fifth RBMA Academy .. always a great experience :)

Mixed thoughts from a few friends on the night.
I enjoyed elements of all 3 (and that includes various visual elements).
What was your take?
agreed loved parts, but other parts lost me. Think there was quite a few technical issues. Dj Sprinkles in foyer was fairly solid tho! House to the core
