ABRUPT

Technoid Patterns and Noise
Fri, 10. Sept, 05:00, STWST Main Venue

Technoid patterns fed with noise elements: Abrupt's live set - backed by distorted guitar and brittle vocals - allows the audience to drift gently underground, over time.

“Technoid patterns, fed with noise elements” is how Lisa Schneider (radio FM4) described the song DUST by Sara Trawöger aka Abrupt, released shortly before, in July last year. In March 2019 she celebrated her first gig at SSTR6 in Vienna, where her first loop tape via House was released. She elaborates most of her sounds from various field recordings, which can often be located near construction sites in the broadest sense. A recurring motif in her tracks is also the sound of the wailing siren in Upper Austria on a Saturday, which is partly fragmented and alienated, pointedly woven into a bass landscape. The live set of Abrupt - supported by distorted guitar and brittle voice - lets the audience drift gently into the underground. 

 During Lockdown 2020 Abrupt released 3 music videos which were made in collaboration with Teresa Schwind (Cover), Sharon Jamila Hutchinson (DUST) and STURMHERTA (Absurd).




Sara Trawöger (*1992, Linz) is studying for a Master's degree in Applied Theater Studies in Giessen and a Master's degree in Timebased Media at the University of Art and Design in Linz. In 2018, the drummer of La Sabotage went on tour with her bandmates and their first joint album FEST and stood on stage for musician and performer Kristin Gerwien at Frankfurt Lab and Thalia Theater Hamburg. Now she dedicates herself to her solo project Abrupt in which noisy sounds overlay defined rhythms and was invited to the first festival edition of THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING in the north of Sweden in January 2020, organized by Teater Institutet / Markus Öhrn.
