Who told you mixing water and electronics was a bad idea?
In a visually unsettling performance, Berlin based sound artist Régis Lemberthe builds up hybrid installations through which water, ice and steam generate sounds quickly amplified and distorted into synthetic drone tunes, endlessly oscillating between subtle ambiences and dense walls of noise.
The project has led to collaborations with German scientist Analytical Engine [ > Glass Engine] and Italian noise legend DFVOKKLL [ > Glass Lärm].
Regis also runs Noiseberg in Berlin, a series of Sunday afternoon experimental music sessions and is preparing DAT, their first festival this year.
Recordings were released on both Noiseberg and Metzger Therapie.
