Frank and Baphomet vernacular (Duo)
Psychodelic/Noise Improv – Berlin
Frank creates a unique soundscape in the transition from noise to music.
He has arranged his improv set with hints of melodies, sporadic rhythms, and sound structures formed from a variety of analog sound samples.
These are integrated into the digital signals of a no-input mixer and other electronic devices.
An additional element is a modified resonator guitar.
Driven by a motor, a coil, and a closed circuit, its strings are set into permanent vibration, generating endless sustain.
This results in a radical transformation of both the sound and the handling of the instrument.

Baphomet vernacular (Diana Fonsecas) work explores noise from an eclectic perspective through self-made electronic instruments and the German Krummhorn.
Ancient timbres that collide with unstable circuitry, creating distorted sound realms between chaos, ritual and meditation.
A psychedelic noise blending medieval breath with machines into dense, hypnotic soundscapes.
