Samuel Leipold, Martin Perret (CH)

Experimental, ambient, improv

Line Up:
Samuel Leipold - guitar, electronics.
Martin Perret - drums, electronics.

Samuel Leipold and Martin Perret come together in a sonic exploration of the convergence of free improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and experimental electronic music.
Their inaugural release, Barene, originated in the Venetian Lagoon. Barene are silt islands formed by the accumulation of sediment carried in slow underwater currents. These formations, alternately submerged and revealed by tidal movements, serve as a conceptual framework for the duo’s compositional approach.

Through the integration of field recordings, modular synths, and digital post-production, Leipold and Perret trace these fleeting forms. Their method privileges spontaneity, iteration and accumulation, allowing the musical fragments, gestures, and textures to coalesce over time. The result is a series of temporally fluid, song-like structures that mirror the transient and layered nature of the barene themselves.
