primarily it is an offer to participate! an open circle of friends and creative people that meets several times a month to do jam sessions, parties or public gigs.
what started as an electronic jam session at a bar in munich has now become a regular and well-known part of the munich music scene. improvised music, creative visuals, improvised dance and dimmed light melt into a communicative atmosphere that is unique in munich.
we do not make money, we want to make music and have fun.
the style "electronic ambient" serves as a musical frame. a core of sound that can be accompanied by guitar, saxophone, trumpet or other instruments. within the spheric lounge, every music is fully improvised. we do not practice or rehearse our music.
every session gets recorded and the best snippets are available as mp3 for download. meanwhile we have 289 titles online which is approximately 44 hours of music. if you want to participate you are invited to join us! with synthesizer, laptop, beamer, violin or whatever you like to bring with you. everybody brings his own equipment.
if you want to contribute from a larger distance, you can help in the postproduction process, edit the raw audio-material and release songs.
IMPROVISATIONAL CONCEPT
the spheric lounge is an open ambient electronic improvisation project. in principle it applies that everyone may live it up and play what he / she wants, as long as it does not disturb the others. ambient is a strongly sound-oriented music - melody, rhythm and harmony appear secondarily as sound events without being durably dominant - sound remains the main object. soloists often take their time to get used to it. to play electronic ambient live means above all that while improvising a majority of your attention is with listening (instead of controllling your fingers f.e.). often it is crucial, which frequency ranges (e.g. bass) are still vacant, if it concerns creating suitable sounds. as it is the case with cooking, the dosage of spice added decides whether it fits the taste of the meal or not. a shrill, sharp impulse in the reverberation chamber can be marvelous as a rare, rhythmic accent - while used too frequently or continuously it can have a destructive effect. it is a lot easier to destroy a current song with expressive sounds than constructively adding to it. it is quite difficult to go into the guiding role and establishing some leading theme that defines the character of the piece. who improvises electronic ambient in a team, acts rather sporadically. anyone who wants to stand in the foreground continuously, takes the room for development from the others. listening to details and selective contributes are the Alpha and Omega. in addition, it is important to create reliability. once a musical foundation is established, one should pull through as long as necessary, in order not to leave the others standing in the empty. it is also important to realise, how much attention is drawn to your contribute. it frequently happens, that someone turns his own signal so loud that the person can hear it clearly - not aware, that the contributed signal draws to much of the general attention, at the same time pushing others off the scene. the art is not only to hear yourselves but hearing yourselves in the context of the others and permanently adapting the volume relationship. according to experience, good music develops only if all fellow players hear themselves clearly and simultaneously in the context of the others and all together begin to react sensitively and agilely to the impulses and modulations of the others to generate a collective vibration. first we were only able to stabilize this complex process (flow) in private sessions, and often tended to overloading within the more chaotic public sessions. in the meantime the team got into practice and the contrast between public and private sessions became clearly smaller.
SECRETS REVEALED: A SIMPLE SET OF RULES
-principle of rising tension within the music
-dominating beats only in the second half of the session
-bring along your own dj mixer to prelisten your sounds
-please no open soundcheck -"already the first note is music"
-appear on time - don..t expect technical support while the session is going -on
-mistakes are welcome - when you..re experimenting and learning by playing, mistakes are necessarily part of the process
-everyone should feel responsible to minimize their own noise level which is added to the main mix
-the less rules, the better !
Good Evening dear friends of Space! I am here to tell you that i have spend nights and nights listening and downloading you music. Also i want to say that i have been long time in music one way or the other and a was deep down inside me wanting to find music like all of you make! There is no words to describe it. i think that all that you make or do is fantstic in so many ways, and i don't have the proper words to describe it! I am very happy that spheric lounge exists, because your music art makes the music reality as it truly is, INFINITE!!! I could write like this for hours! Wish to all of you only the best in the future!!!

Das arabische Wort "tarab" (der ästhetische Genuss beim Hören von Klängen) beschreibt den Zustand der Verzückung und Ergriffenheit der Zuhörer, und zugleich die musikalische Vermittlung von Freude und Trauer auf tiefe, spontane und herzergreifende Weise und das Vermögen den Zuhörer durch den puren Ausdruck des gefühlten Augenblicks zu bewegen. Das Tarab Orient Ensemble erzeugt archaische und abwechslungsreiche Klangbilder zwischen packenden Grooves, meditativen Balladen und einer Verbindung von orientalischer Klassik, Jazz und Weltmusik. Eine faszinierende Mischung, die (musikalische) Welten verbindet.
