STATIC MOTION
'A really fascinating blend of art-rock, groove-based minimalism and abstract mathematical theory, all woven together to great effect' - John Schaefer, host of New Sounds, WNYC, New York.
'This quartet is unlike anything you've heard before. How often can you say you've encountered a truly unique act? Rarely. Here's one that qualifies.' - Anil Prasad
SONAR is a progressive, post-minimal, instrumental band from Switzerland. The name stands for SONic ARchitecture, alluding to their intention of creating polymetrical soundscapes and highly structured aural spaces.
In 2012, they released their first CD on Nik Bärtsch's Ronin Rhythm Records label. 'Static Motion' is their debut on Cuneiform and their first release outside of Switzerland.
Sonar's music is played live without any sequencers, loops or computers using a minimum amount of equipment: 2 guitars, a bass guitar, 3 small amplifiers und a basic drum kit. No effects are used to keep the music as clear, direct and immediate as possible.
The group made its USA debut in October, 2013, playing showcases in Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and Brooklyn, NY and will be returning for more North American shows in 2014.
