SUM OF R is a band project with open structures, the current members are influenced by different kinds of noise, folk, doom, experimental and lumbering metal music.
First planned as a side-project of electro-acoustic musician Reto Mäder aka RM74, it grew into a collective consisting also of Roger Ziegler and Christoph Hess, both members of analogue noise band Herpes Ö DeLuxe, the latter also known for his turntablism experiments as Strotter Inst.
Mäder and Ziegler run the record label Hinterzimmer Records.
SUM OF R construct gripping sound-journeys built by a doom-drone electric bass, treated vinyl-loops, organ sounds and an array of analog sound-sources, led by a psychedelic understanding of minimal soundforms.
hello reto today I played the Sum of R album for the first time and when it finished I pressed play again and again and again... It was with me all day long and I must say it is one of the best Droney-noisy work I have heard in quite some time. THANX A LOT !!!
We loved your concert at Oblo. Fascinating drone metal electronic stuff! And your CD is great too. I keep listening to it every day.
