Mopcut präsentieren ihr Debut-Album “Accelerated Frames of Reference”
(Trost Records,2019)
Sie erschaffen ein Gebilde aus Geräuschen und Klängen , das die Hörerinnen
und Hörer vollständig umschließt und auf die Ohren ebenso intensiv wirkt wie
auf das innere Auge. So beschreiben Audrey Chen, Julien Desprez und
Lukas König ihr Trio-Projekt MOPCUT, das beim donaufestival 2018 seine
Premiere erlebte. Ihr improvisierendes Spiel ist jeglicher Gattungsbeschränkungen
ledig. Lukas König nutzt Schlagzeug und Synthesizer; Julien Desprez spielt
elektrische Gitarre; Audrey Chen überlagert die Sounds aus ihren Analogsynthesizern
mit ekstatisch extemporierendem Gesang. (Presstext )
