My second album, the tracks where done with modular jams as basis for the songs, from wich the title is somewhat derived, "Am Apparat" means something like "on the machine". The music is a result of interaction between human and machine.
Thanks to Andy and "Fresh on the net" who reviewed the track "Tropf" who made it in the "fresh faves" here it is:

Muowo brings the dirty squelching Basel beats to the Faves this week, and his brand of Swiss Techno is a very welcome addition to the playlist for these ears.
"There’s little to be found about him online, and when I say little, I mean nothing, nada, zilch, apart from a small paragraph on his Soundcloud page that tells us he’s obviously a talented engineer as well as a talented musician, as he designs and builds his own analogue synths that he uses to make his sounds. Oh, and his name is David Heizmann. Although that may be some alias set up by Interpol to disguise his real identity as part of the witness protection scheme (I’m joking here, obvs).
Muowo uses field recordings as the basis for his sounds, processing them into the electronic bleeps and squelches that dance around the progressive rhythms and add a real texture to what could otherwise just be sterile beats. The tracks are recorded as live jams and then edited and arranged on the computer.
There’s a touch of early industrial in the sound, I’m instantly reminded of the persistent and aggressive edge of Front 242, the cycling polyrhythms and loops becoming almost hypnotic in their pattern. This is a track to be enjoyed at its best in a dark club, with a huge sound system generating so much bass you could use it as CPR to resuscitate a dead elephant. Although why someone would bring an elephant to a nightclub in the first place is anyone’s guess…
