Tanche

The project “Tanche” was founded 2017 during a residence of drummer Jonas Albrecht at “Südpol”, a theater and concert house in Lucerne. The quartet with Christian Zempon guitar, Chadi Messmer on bass and Elischa Heller on laptop and electronics sees itself as a sound lab. The band doesn’t categorize itself into certain styles, instead researching the possibilities of their individual instruments, ideas and genres. Little by little, a unique sound was shaped by electronics and rhythm that draws the familiar into unexpected contexts. Both during rehearsals and performances, composition is as important as improvisation. The musicians experiment with extreme contrasts and dynamics, drones and patterns as well as extended techniques and electronic effects.
