Egopusher
Blood Red
Egopusher are a Swiss, instrumental Electronica duo consisting of Tobias Preisig (violin, synths) and Alessandro Giannelli (drums, synths). Their sound is a mixture of elegant, analog Electronica, with a touch of Neo Contemporary. The project started as a string of late night conversations which took place in Tobias' vintage BMW, while the two of them would drive back together from gigs, as session-musicians with Dieter Meier's Out of Chaos (note: Dieter Meier is one-half of the legendary YELLO). The official beginning of Egopusher can be traced back to their first show as a duo, a fully improvised affair which took place in November 2013. A visually turbulent, crimson, coastal sun set is nature's equivalent of an epic flick. It's also one of the most potent forms of anodyne. "Blood Red", the debut full-length from Swiss Electronica duo Egopusher, is like a score that was composed to an anamorphic, technicolor rendition of this mind blowing light spectacle; except that this movie plays out in the mind's eye only,and is triggered by a steady dosage of highly affective sonic painkillers. In that sense,listening to this record is a deeply transformative, cineastic experience.
