Gefilde lets soundscapes emerge from silence. Fine textures and distorted noises unfold beyond the usual functions of the instruments. The combination of acoustics and electronics creates a web of sound between experimental drift and moments of calmness.

Taking individual sets of improvisations in the studio as a starting point, the 4 musicians Johanna Klein (saxophone and voice), Leo Engels (guitar), Nicolai Amrehn (bass) and Jan Philipp (drums and production) manufacture the sounds during the recording process, conscious of the potential of collaging and post- production.

The intuitive connection between the musicians, developed through several years of playing together, becomes particularly intimate in these recordings. In loud passages, distorted guitar drones and abstract rhythms lay a foundation for the voice, which surfaces as an equal texture rather than lead vocals. In moments of silence, each element recedes into the background so that the music can develop as a cohesive organism.
