toechter is an all-female trio operating from Berlin. toechter’s 2nd full-length album “Epic Wonder” (Morr Music) sees its classically trained members blend elegant string arrangements with ethereal indie pop and delicate rhythms.
Katrine Grarup Elbo, Lisa Marie Vogel and Marie-Claire Schlameus exclusively use analogue sound sources (such as violin, viola, cello, and their voices), which were then electronically processed.
»Every sound you hear in our universe comes from us. The string trio is the core of toechter, the starting point of all our work.«
Those looking for new worlds of sound can find them in the work of this classically- trained musicians. Whether they add voices or percussive instruments, sample the sounds, or manipulate them electronically; ultimately they are exploring the string trio’s place in a world shaped by the digital.
