about
Hans Koch : bass clarinet, soprano saxophone
Gaudenz Badrutt : electronics
Recorded in La Voirie, Biel/Bienne 2014
Edited by Koch & Badrutt
Mastered by Giuseppe Eilasi
Social Insects are the bass clarinet player Hans Koch and the electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt. They have collaborated on various musical projects for years and in 2011 founded the duo. Hans Koch is mainly known as a member of the Hardcore Chambermusic Trio Koch-Schütz-Studer, but also as a soloist as well as for his collaborations with Phil Minton, Fred Frith, Paul Lovens etc. As a bass clarinet player he has developed a very personal style. The electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt is mainly known as one half of the electroacoustic duo strøm (together with Christian Mueller, electronics), as well as part of the duo Jonas Kocher (accordion) - Gaudenz Badrutt. His music is coined by a very instrumental use of computer/live sampling and electronic devices. The music of the duo Hans Koch-Gaudenz Badrutt stems from sparse musical material; creating pieces that live on lightness, density, fragility and humour. Concerts as duo in Europe and Japan.

Overlapped Memories
by Dominique Vaccarosupported by 6 fans who also own “Social Insects II”
There's a lovely subtlety at play here, where I can't tell what's looping and what's not. Despite the titles not offering much in the way of explanation, I think there's humor, nostalgia, and great care in this collection.

Bistre
by Anne-F Jacques/Tim Olivesupported by 6 fans who also own “Social Insects II”
Although it is a monaural recording, on the contrary, it gives a feeling of lo-fi, and I think that the sound quality is my favorite.
