  • Bio

    RM74 is the solo project of Swiss musician Reto Mäder who lives in Bern. His take on electronic music as it sits side by side with "real” instrumentation - organ, piano, harp, gong, guitar, kalimba, horn - is characterized by complex structures and dense, bizzare atmoshere. He meshes electronics with instruments in such a way as to make both sides of the fence talk to one another. It’s a cryptic and wide open language between drifting electro-acoustic music, minimal instrumental figures, drones, experimental electronics and slow-growing melodies. The tracks gain emotional resonance as they move among vexing swells of dense, rotting psychedelia. .. Apart of RM74, Reto Mäder plays in the centrifugal Post-Noise-Drone-Rock duo Ural Umbo (with Steven Hess of Haptic, On and Pan American) as well as Pendulum Nisum (with Mike Reber of Herpes Ö DeLuxe) and in Sum Of R. He has produced albums for Rhys Chatham (The Bern Project, 2009) and for Herpes Ö DeLuxe (Kielholen, 2007). Since 2006 Reto Mäder runs together with Roger Ziegler the music label Hinterzimmer... ..

    .... RM74 > Reflex > Utech Records > URCD045 > May 2010 .... Reflex is the fifth solo album by Switzerland's Reto Mäder (Ural Umbo, Sum of R, Pendulum Nisum) as RM74. A creepy, paranoid record of sinister melody and complex structure. Electronics, organ, synthesizer, guitars and other instrumentation drifts in and out of bizarre atmospherics. The tracks gain emotional resonance as they move among vexing swells of dense, rotting psychedelia. Presented in a heavy matte sleeve printed with dark metallic ink. Includes fold out insert.
