Swesor Bhrater ‎– Sang Lié

Swesor Bhrater is a mysterious act, the personnal project of V-Y, also a member of BRUTA NON CALCULANT, playing an enigmatic mix of folk, cold electronic music and haunting experimentations. SB just released its first album on Hieratique Records, and previously appeared on the Minnesang compilations (Octroi Records). Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants like Novy Svet and David Jackman, solemn song fragments (a lot of old greek rembetiko-recordings) are modified and looped, with additional instruments and voices being integrated later on. His music has been described as “surreal folkcollage” and “German hauntology”. [staalplaat.com]

Known throughout the space and ambient music scenes for his contemplative electronic soundscape work for over a decade; Sloan founded L’Avenir as a side project in 2012 to explore his long time love of synthpop and minimal wave music created purely from analog and vintage equipment.

While releasing over a dozen solo albums and E.P.’s under his own name, Sloan has played solo all over the US, Canada and Europe including the influential Live Constructions radio program at Columbia University, STEIM in Amsterdam and Philadelphia’s The Gatherings concert series, one of the country’s oldest continuing ambient and electronic music series.
