XABEC

Experimental Ambient Electronics

About Me


Since 1997 Manuel G. Richter is working on experimental composing and sonic art under the moniker XABEC, released some vinyl and cd albums on the german Hands label and a lot of compilation tracks. He played many live gigs all over europe.
Xabec's Style:
The meticulously woven sounds from this one-man project fall somewhere in between ambient and sound art, between industrial and modern laptop-music. They blanket listeners with the intensity and tension found in film scores, and send them off to unheard soundscapes in unknown realms.
Used instruments generally are: self built acoustic instruments, stones, analog modular system, sampling and computer, field recordings and various electronic devices
Besides his own projects Manuel did re-mixes and compositions for Contagious Orgasm, Anne Clark, Floating Stone, Flint Glass, Funker Vogt, Dope Stars Inc, Implant and others.
Xabec is pro human and pro nature. Here..s no place for extreme ideologies and fundamentalism. Here is no place for nazi crap or unclear political statements of labels or bands.
