Ambiq, the Berliner instrumental trio of Max Loderbauer, Claudio Puntin and Samuel Rohrer, emerged onto the scene not long ago with a self-titled Arjuna Music LP of impressive sonic distinctiveness and technical ability.
The three highly experienced musicians create a music that can confidently be described as a new style. Dark Organic Ambient. Freedom in shaping electronic soundscapes, subtle mastery of acoustic instruments and the ability to integrate these into the overall analogue-electronic sound. These qualities, combined with their ease in handling wonderfully flexible and delicate beats, take this trio out of the club and into the concert hall.
The three musicians act as a chamber music ensemble with a contemporary background. They are chamber musicians, sound engineers and composers rolled into one, in a wonderfully organic sounding way. Definitions of musical style, compositional techniques or sound guises are rendered superfluous in light of this self-evident performance.
