Living in a TENT

Electric Noise Twist was Alex Buess, Christoph Fringelt, & Markus Kneubühler. 

 

 

Alex Buess is a saxophonist, composer, producer. He has collaborated with Peter Brötzmann, Toshinori Kondo, Bill Laswell, Tim Hodgkinson, & many other musicians in the wide field of improvisation, electronics, electro/acoustic music. Buess has written compositions for various contemporary music ensembles & works as a producer / sound engineer. 

 

Christoph Fringeli is responsible for the Vision & Praxis labels. Vision was a label project from Basel, Switzerland, founded by Christoph in 1986 & finished in 1992. The material released by Vision were not limited to cassettes / records but also included printed materials / visuals. These items included fanzines, posters, t-shirts & like the recordings, received catalogue numbers. Vision evolved into Praxis, which was both a label & a record shop for harsh experimental electronic music led by Fringeli based in Berlin (first located in London/UK, then in Berlin/Germany, then in Basel/Switzerland, now again in Berlin/Germany). 

 

Markus Kneubühler plays synthesizers, mostly concentrating on free-Jazz experimental noise.

The three got together to create Electronic Noise Twist as a project for Fringeli’s Vision label.

Here Fringeli plays guitar & provides vocals, Kneubühler plays bass & manipulates tapes, & Buess plays saxophone & drums making wild, crazy Blurt-like jazz/industrial crossover.
