Projects
Veranda Flux
Dominic Muscat and Andreas Hirsch formed this duo 2004 in Cologne with a wish to create a powerful live sound with entertaining consequences. A full eclectic sound with guitar, drums, vocals and flashing boxes touching on the realms of rock, avant garde, film and surf music. Stories, scenes and songs grow out of live looping and sequencing of home made samples and instrumental sounds to which this duo adds their own individual solid guitar riffs and drum beats. A fusion of acoustic and electronic elements brought together by two white noise balladeers.
Dominic Muscat: Drum Kit, Vocals, Percussion, live looping and sample sequencing (all in altered states).
Andreas Hirsch: Guitar, Vocals, live looping, and sundry devices
Veranda: Flux
Performances

The Surf Spirals
Surf the way you like to hear it: beaty, raunchy and live.
Inspired by Mother Atlantic and the beat sounds of the past, these travelling musicians formed the Surf Spirals in 2003. A band dedicated to reproducing cover versions and writing own surf material and what's more they can even count to four together.
Watch this space for the next wave.
