Hailing from Austria, Denmark and Mexico and based in Vienna and Berlin, Ingrid Schmoliner, Adam Pultz Melbye and Emilio Gordoa extended instrumental techniques and preparations to sculpture sound and narrative in a softly poetic language. With low-key asprirations towards the sublime, the trio conjures up captivating inharmonicity, jadggedly oscillating patterns and ambigious sequences resting at piece in a not-knowing, not-staying, not-saying.

Sink was formed in 2004 in Berlin. Though the music is improvised, Andrea Ermke, Chris Abrahams, Marcello Busato and Arthur Rother play, perform, sound and feel as a band with a distinct band sound. Their sound ranges from Berlin-typical Echtzeitmusik related sound scapes which can, but need not, result in a minimalistic groove. Sink have contributed a track on the 2 disc compilation album “Special Berlin Issue” on the label Improvised Music from Japan.
