Rotterdam

Biography

The viennese Duo Rotterdam celebrates the power of monotony. Far away from any conventions or traditional song arrangements, Susanne Amann (cello, flute, electronics) and Michael Klauser (acoustic guitar, electronics) create constantly pulsating sound patterns that draw their power from the continuous compression of sound elements. Their tracks are reduced to the essential: minimalist beats and repetitive loops combine with acoustics, merging into sound paintings of an extremely hypnotic, even danceable effect. Monotony has rarely before sounded so varied.
Rotterdam was founded in 2000 in Vienna by Michael Klauser and Susanne Amann.
