Schrödingers Katze – Unscharf

Unscharf by Simon Althaus and Manuel Pasquinelli blends complex rhythms, atmospheric electronics and driving grooves into a free, genre-defying sound.

Schrödingers Katze – Unscharf

Unscharf, the second album by Simon Althaus (Rhodes, electronics) and Manuel Pasquinelli (drums), opens with “Electrons,” an eight-minute launch of pulsing Morse-like figures, dark bass and insistent rhythms. Across the record, motifs slide and recombine like a Polaroid developing in slow motion—playful, atmospheric and groove-driven, echoing 1970s German electronics but with a far more intricate rhythmic chassis. Hard to file under jazz, rock or electronica, Unscharf is less about genre than freedom: music that makes uncommon sense, and makes you move.
