To Rococo Rot There are arguably few bands whose sound is quite so unique as TO ROCOCO ROT. Emerging in 1995 - bassist Stefan Schneider lives in Cologne and Robert and Ronald Lippok reside in Berlin - their electronica was dramatically removed from the techno and machine music their contemporaries were producing. Fascinatingly contradictory, they succeeded in combining glacial sounds with a warm organic production that was undeniably, alluringly, sensually romantic. Their albums have established them as one of the most acclaimed and influential electronic acts around, and their live shows - which underline the human qualities of their art - are gloriously hypnotic. TO ROCOCO ROT's music has been used in countless films and documentaries as well as exhibitions. (Their first album was actually commissioned by a gallery to accompany an exhibition.) As they once remarked, they don't just make music "for klicks"… Discography (albums): To Rococo Rot (Robert Lippok, Ronald Lippok, Stefan Schneider), Galerie Weisser Elefant / Kitty Yo, 1996 Veiculo, City Slang, 1997 The Amateur View, City Slang, 1999 Music Is A Hungry Ghost (with I-Sound), City Slang / Labels, 2001 Kolner Brett, Staubgold, 2001 Hotel Morgen, Domino Records, 2004 Select Discography (eps): Lips, City Slang, 1997 Paris 25, City Slang, 1997 To Rococo Rot + D, Soul Static Sound, 1998 Cars, City Slang, 1999 Telema, City Slang, 1999 Pantone, City Slang / Labels, 2001 Cosimo, Domino Records 2004 click to see the flash card for 'music is a hungry ghost'. watch the "Pantone" video: real 56k/isdn real dsl ![]() |
