Chlorgeschecht was formed in San Francisco in 1999 by Johannes Malfatti and Alex Kloster (ger) (Transformer di Roboter) and Olivier Alary (fr) (Ensemble / Danzen Jetzt / Cheap Thrill) and has since been based in Londons East End. Olivier left the band, after being fed up with living in several cubicles in London. But like any healthy worm, Chlorgeschlecht has the ability to survive, even when cut in half, and can easily play shows as a duo. Johannes and Alex moved back to Berlin, where they are originally from. Chlorgeschlecht likes to collaborate with other artists while doing tracks as well as during live shows and has repeatedly done so with Richard Thomas aka Hairy Butter or Joseph Fraoli aka Datach¹i. Unyoga (Deco) is the the first Chlorgeschlecht release to exceed 18 minutes. Unyoga is a good indication of the Chlorgeschlecht output between 2000 and 2001. Chlorgeschlecht likes to process field recordings of crack-dealing pimps and hustling whores in the Mission in S.F., as well as samples of semi-known grind core bands.
Chlorgeschlecht have been awarded of the ‘HONORARY MENTION’ in the ‘PRIX ARS ELECTRONICA 2004 -Digital Music-for their acid album ‘Unyoga’ released on deco. |
