Biography
Two people. A Telecaster guitar with a few effect pedals. A drum machine. Periode is the project of Thomas Winkler and Andreas Reihse, where motorik rhythms & kraut-esque electronica blend with Morricone western-scorched atmospheres into a kind of Musique Noir – yet these serve as a set of orientational coordinates, rather than quotations. Andreas Reihse overtures and underlays Thomas Winkler’s hypnotic guitar pickings with the digital grid of infinity that Winkler repeatedly tries to touch and to break through. It equally evokes the harsh sunlight and baking summer heat, or a rainy day and transportation: the music suggests the motion of travel, even if that travel only happens within the mind.
