funkzelle:
gerd neusser and jürgen rieger, both living in small town near frankfurt, in the middle of germany,
were starting their producer activities in 2000 as a part of the netaudioscene.
gerd´s obsession is composing beats and freaky soundscapes. jürgen, who studied graphic-design in the early 90's is working now as a freelance designer and is the head behind the visual concept of the projects both are joining. he is enthusiastic about creating smooth soundscapes,
rhythmic beats and clicky noises.
the result of putting together their different personalities is a wide range of sounds between minimal electronic, experimental ambient and moving melodies. "...watching the world in every situation, catching every single moment, from above and below...", they describe their sound, "audio needs to be a journey with many, many pictures in your head. empathy - everyone and everything has a story behind. and that is what we try to express in our sound concepts."
for now eight years they have created music under several projects. starting as "sternenspringer" in 2001, as "systemton" in 2003 and jürgen´s solo project "polarproject" in 2005. since 2007 they are also the heads behind "clear-cut-records" a netlabel for minimal moments.
they have developed several releases, contributions added to different compilations and composing special remixes for friends. music as "sternenspringer" can be found on "tonatom.net" and on their own sternenspringer-website. 4x4 electro beats mixed with ambient soundscapes and experimental influences. music as "systemton" can be found on "inoquo.com" and on the systemton-website. minimal and reduced sounds to the max. polarproject music can be found on archive.org, for example the "urban nomad"-release on filamentrecordings or the "no name" release on decisive sound.
the brand new project born in 2007 is "funkzelle". deep house, progressive house. technopop. warm sounds, full of esprit and easiness. senses of pleasure filled with rhythmic beats and vocal parts. the first "funkzelle" release "a night (to remember)“ is a four track ep and can be found on many platforms in the www.
