Lens Arc is the name that Thomas Haida, originally from a tiny village in Bavaria and now residing in Berlin, has chosen for his musical outlet -- with everything made by himself in the various bedrooms that he has physically occupied over time (and most of the time). His music aspires to be a nit-picked blend of sounds from various inspirations, like the warbled guitars of shoegaze with a droning voice drenched in dark reverb, some hazy ambient synths borrowed from 80s new age albums and the hypnagogic lofi-ness of early 2010s Bandcamp psych pop tapes. An experimental excursion into the world of ambient music. Music made with code, performed live and transparently, blends sounds and textures with a gloomy viola to create a sonic tapestry. Samples and throbbing beats are mixed in, finally paving the way to the outside. based in minga. too many emotions and reverb. very much into c major. Klang-/Licht STROM is a collaborative project of Ben Bengler (music, live electronics) and Thomas Geissl (light, programming), performing together as Bengler/Geissl since 2018. It’s driven by their shared vision for creating performances where the audience is in the centre of things, with sound and light unfolding around them.
