Noise, Improv and abstract sound sculptures

2024 - Spazio Lampo at sala Diego Chiesa, Chiasso TI

Radiant Haze are Anton Ponomarev based in Zurich and Christian Müller from Biel. The two musicians met in Moscow in 2019, not entirely by chance. Since then, their paths have crossed again and again. Both musicians - originally woodwind players - play their electronic instruments in this duo. Warm analogue-electronic sounds mingle with granulated, digital sounds. Together they create energetic and finely tuned sound sculptures between noise and abstract improv, between ambient and industrial, unfiltered and blunt.
The two not only have their instruments with them, but also their tape release Resonant Abstractions on Karma Detonation Tapes, which is still almost hot off the press.
