Music and Performance:
the sound of beinhaus is shaped by the duality of electronic sound production
[ beats, sequences and samples ], and the organic components:
live drumming on metal-percussion such as oildrums, sheet metals or saw
blades.
the clear, classical singing of ulrike bergmann corresponding with the
urgent voice of robert karliczek.
the experimental sound production using metal, wood, flex and fragments
of glass by marko schroeder.
the whole performance in interaction among each other and with the
audience.
due to the sound components and the german lyrics, beinhaus are often
compared to (old) einstürzende neubauten.
nevertheless beinhaus has an own identity, which carries most clearly with
the live-performance to come: action, tension, intensity, emotion and energy.
hardness and strain against themselves and against the public. beinhaus
plays a live-performance in order to leave a drastic impression and a highly
convincing performance. by this means, beinhaus is not fixed on a specific
scene or subculture... new german industry!
why should we perform a kind of music that already exists?
