Unfall! Electro-Pop-Duo

The electronic musician duo consisting of Max Schweder and Martin Widyanata move between reduced 4/4 melodies and painful dissonances to produce deep-porn-pop. Live electronic saxophone as well as hard modulated vocoders play as much a role as classical sampling and looping.
