MY SONIC WORLDS
Beatdenker SOLO
Futuristic electronic beats, explosive live finger drumming, guitar synths and hyper-creative improvisation. A universe of rhythmic surprises, sonic absurdities and future dance steps.
“Maybe the most out-of-bounds thing we’ve ever covered.”
Magnetic Magazine · Los Angeles
Beatdenkers POLYPLAY
Seriously wonky grooves, multilayered polyrhythms, extra-orbital sounds and meticulous compositions colliding with wild improvisational freedom.
“Faulty androids can dance! A trio of heavy groove-ramming complication…”
Jazzwise · UK
Beatdenkers SINULARIA
Three improvisers pushing complex rhythmic structures into a vivid world of electronic textures, fearless interplay and Subwater Beats from another dimension.
"Think Brian Ferneyhough meets Aphex Twin on a dive beneath techno’s tectonic plates.”
