claus richter

started as a 24 hour-partychick and drum & bass-cover illustrator, then, for almost two years, he was part of of a puppet theatre, hosted in a gigantic egg.

he also built a lifesize rollercoaster out of rubberfoam and he loves books. two of his all-time-heroes are syd mead and benoit hennebert, and he lives in a small room, converted into a shrine for these two idols. his first homerecorded cd was called "i am fine" and the hissing track "swallow you" is taken from this rare but enchanting cd. the lascivious voice is the voice of artist gabi schirrmacher, a truely exciting lady. after being a puppeteer, richter now is a member of a company of amateur actors, called "da group" and gives lectures on sci-fi design and fandom.


the next cd is projected for the end of march 2004, and will be a collaboration with artist lucie stahl.

fym et diane

diane is fyms brain. usually she does not sing. it´s been a long tradition for both to play in the same band. fym tends to forget any note or song or bassline even before he has played it so it adds some kind of performing-safety & consistence to the live-pa. diane has played piano, flute, drums, bass and violin, programmed sequences and stuff for the electronic live jam band project "strictly homemade"... now she is adding her certain dsp-flavours and multi-timbral spices to maximize the entropy of the live set.

since the resulting and constantly mutating material is so far unreleased fym et diane are currently working scientifically on these live improvisations in their studio environment. some special reverse-track-engineering methods are used to extract data that can be used for traditional recording purposes. this is a rather exiting process - human interferred dynamic composition is transformed to static edits.     (see also: www.boogizm.net)
