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.
