Three Days by Arnold/Schwer
One room, two guys, three days. Electronic drummer Sebastian Arnold and avantgarde guitarist Jürgen Schwer met for a three-day jam in their ancestral studio in Freiburg/Germany.
Like back in the BEEAH days over ten years ago, their extemporaneous sound instantly emerges as a rough mixture of krautrock, free jazz and experimental trip hop. The thoroughly improvised tracks were later selected, rearranged and processed in Sebastian's studio in Berlin. They are not only joined by an arsenal of instruments, such as electric guitars, stomp boxes, an acoustic drum kit, slit drum and other percussion, an untuned zither, synthesizers and drum machines, but also welcome lyric poet Tobias Roth (Munich/Berlin) and electronic artist Linus (Freiburg) to sit in for a couple of songs. We fully recommend you to listen to this dense amalgamation of groove and sound.

Sebastian Arnold is a genuine one-man band behind his drum kit and synthesizers. Watching him for the first time, you may think of someone driving a spaceship with drumsticks. He is building song structures by layering loops and drum-triggered sequences with acoustic drums, keyboards and his own sequencer SENODE. The result is an organic mixture of elektro, post-rock, drum'n'bass and indietronica.
