Strömung

With Strömung Minerall present the second album from a joint studio session and prove once again that collective improvisation at this level is far more than just jamming. Marcel Cultrera (guitar, Speck), Tommy Handschick (drums, Kombynat Robotron, Earthbong) and Sula Bassana (bass, synthesizer, Zone Six, Interkosmos, ex-Electric Moon) meet as three of the most experienced protagonists of the austrian and german psych scene.

The two extended tracks on the album unfold organically without ever losing their way. The guitar leads the listener through vast, reverb-flooded spaces, while the rhythmic foundation provides the necessary openness to keep the flow from breaking. Sula Bassana’s bass and synthesizers anchor the proceedings just as much as they send them into orbit. This tension gives the album its peculiar pull. The recordings were captured in January 2023 at Studio Buffbergen by Yannick Aderb and mastered by Eroc. The production approach preserves the raw, vibrant character of the session without sacrificing sonic depth.

Strömung stands in the tradition of Kosmische Musik, yet sounds completely contemporary. No nostalgic reconstruction but an independent statement by three musicians who helped shape this cosmos themselves.
