Band Members: Chris Dash works as a passionate and dedicated musician with special skills in electronic instruments, keyboards, guitars and soundengineering to produce his own unique soundscape. Open to many styles and influences, especially in the realm of electronic ambient music, his compositions are elaborated fusions of warm acoustic sounds (such as classical string elements) and downtempo beats, accompanied by enchanting fragile, yet at times voluminous female voices.

Coming up: New Album "SERIAL TIME KILLER" by CHRIS DASH
MIXED BY ROLI MOSIMANN (producer, engineer, writer and performer: "The The", Young Gods, Faith no More, Gravity Kills, Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, Swans, New Order, Wiseblood, Rebekka Bakken, Delia Mayer and many more)

The first notes of Chris Dash's ambitious sound project feel like a drop off of a helicopter, followed by a soft and almost soundless parachute landing in the middle of a dew-kissed rice field. This could be the commencement of a quest game as well as the opening act of a monumental saga. The filigrane, yet dense sound textures evoke emerald green landscapes, lulled in damp, ethereal atmospheres. The pursuit is a quiet one, but the outcome of the mission is crucial for mankind. Utmost poetic, meaningful lyrics guide you on your journey like sentinels on a trail. The path is full of precious surprises as well as dark moments of anguish and pain - all of which you are likely to collect and cache in your heart on your way through ... While your idling along a green river, sudden uptempo grooves uncompromisingly wake you from your idyllic dreams like the roar of the waterfall ahead ... But skills and technical perfection lead this mission to the expected accomplishment. Smooth, colorful and multi-faceted - this is not music, this is grand acoustic cinema!
(C.Maurer)In his first independent solo production he compiled a small set of songs telling intimate stories embedded in a chilly, sometimes bleak environment. His EP „serial time killer 2004“ is endowed with a uniqueness which did not go unnoticed: as soon as it was released, it sparked the interest of established artists like Roli Mosimann (NY), Domenico Ferrari (IT/CH), Emel (CH), Laurence Revey (CH) and Robert Meyer (Minus 8, CH). Boosted by the positive response, Chris Dash developed a whole album, which was mixed and co-produced by Roli Mosimann. These compositions abduct you on an elusive journey into the universe of his mind, strongly characterised by such polarised features as paralysing melancholy and enthusiastic hyper activism.
