"Congratulation on some of the most ecxiting music!" John Zorn, June 1995

«Hardcore Chambermusic» ist das Debut-Album des Schweizer Trios Koch-Schütz-Studer. Hans Koch, Martin Schütz und Fredy Studer arbeiten seit 1990 zusammen. In unzähligen Konzerten in der ganzen Welt und in der Abgeschiedenheit des Übungsraumes haben sie einen Power-Sound entwickelt, der so radikal wie intelligent, so frei wie präzis und so bedrohlich wie schön ist. Mächtige Soundbilder wachsen aus zuerschnippelten Klangfetzen und feingliedrigen Harmonien. Die Kunst des freien Spiels verbindet sich mühelos mit der Sogkraft von tranceartigen Grooves.

Hardcore Chambermusic is the debut-album of the Swiss Trio Koch-Schütz-Studer. Hans Koch, Martin Schütz, Fredy Studer have been working together since 1990. In countless concerts throughout the world and in the seclusion of the rehearsing space they have developped a power-sound, which is as radical as it is intelligent, as free as it is precise and as threatening as it is beautiful. Massive sound-pictures grow out of snipped-up fragments and delicate hamonies. With ease the art of free interplay joines forces with th maelstrom of trance-like grooves.
