   About b°tong
b°tong is Chris Sigdell, former member of NID (1995 - 2005), and guitarist/singer in Phased. b°tong reaches for the nether regions of experimental electronic sound but is never quite serious. Born in the winter of 2004, b°tong has since appeared at renowned music festivals (Sinus-Series, Ausklang, Shift, Lab 30), various radio-stations, and toured extensively throughout Europe, Russia, U.S.A. & Canada. b°tong sometimes likes to collaborate with like-minded spirits, doing installation ("Polarkreis" & "95°" with artists Gierlich/Schuler) and video projects ("Images" with Ulrich Fischer). The video to "Sphere II" (Polar:is CD) was shown at the 2007 Miami Art Fair as part of the Urban Nomad collective; the video to "Black Dog Dream" (Structures CD) was shown in Bejing 2008 and 2009 (along with a video of "95°").

b°tong's music varies from dark ambient layers of sound, brooding drones, itchy-scratchy tones to weird electronics and/or harsh noise. b°tong deconstructs and recycles samples from television, radio and/or films, he records natural and artificial sounds, and he processes and distorts his own voice.
In a live situation, he uses microphones, sampler, and "instruments" such as: metal sheet and spring, various kitchen utensils and an orgon emitter. The sounds thus generated are run through various effects giving birth to images of darkness and tranquility, the solitude of icy polar night, or the equivalent of an underwater journey down a bottomless pit!

By the Way.
I just started to download hysteria, and I am eager to listen to it and give you some feedback, as I am a fan of your work, structures being one of my favorite drone/dark ambient releases. : )

Once again, hope all is well : )
