German Electronic Music

To Rococo Rot
To Rococo Rot's origins go all the way back to a multimedia art exhibition of the same name organized by brothers Ronald and Robert Lippock in Berlin in 1995. When the gallery owners suggested they record music instead of publishing a catalogue, the brothers recruited bassist Stefan Schneider (from the instrumental band Kreidler) and soon began editing their debut record.

Their music can be defined as post rock instrumental, a rock, techno, ambient and jazz hybrid, although avoiding artistic pretentiousness. Their sound landscapes slide along the tracks of their albums, with samples acting as buffers of the catchy rhythms.
