About Me
Stefan Kushima is a young artist from Austria who creates minimal wavering drone music with a unique warm, natural, and hand-made touch. Using concrete sound sources - repetitive guitar figures, violin patterns, vocal cries, or other self-built instruments – Kushima spins a web of spiralling patterns and melancholic harmonies until his one-man-ballad is abstracted into a blissful wall of fuzzed-out metallic glow. Kushima's psychedelic tones penetrate the psyche like hypnotic transmissions originating from deep in space or beneath the sea, pulling the listener towards the menacing source, only to be pushed away again into a calm haze.
Kushima has released a prolific stream of CDs and Cassettes on many underground labels and is also an accomplished and highly original graphic artist and experimental filmmaker (presenting at film festivals across Europe).
