Tobias Preisig (violin, synths) and Alessandro Giannelli (drums, synth), who met as a live musician on a project of Dieter Meiers (YELLO) Out Of Chaos, are EGOPUSHER. „Blood Red“, the debut album of the Swiss electronica / ambient duo, is like a score composed to an anamorphic, color fresh version of an overwhelming spectacle of light, except that this film plays only in the mind“s eye and through a steady dose of high affective painkillers. In that sense, listening to this record is a profoundly transforming,
cinematic experience. „Blood Red“ is the result of over 100 live gigs and recurring improvisation sessions; a journey that turned two different individuals into a musically seamless, synchronous, symbiotic organism. The album was created in a process in which individual ideas and parts were brought out again and again and have thus slowly settled in the minds of the duo. Stylistically, the album is based on a timeless form of electronica, fueled by clear, warm, analog synths, sweeping arpeggios, strong melodies and FX-driven theatricality, creating a sound framework that even has a classic, neo-contemporary style.
It sounds modern and retro alike and always reminds of legendary soundtracks from the 80s.
