DESCRIPTION:
Arbeit, Färber, zeitblom. These three musicians have been collaborating under the name Automat since the end of 2011. Their debut album (out April 2014) features Lydia Lunch, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge & Blixa Bargeld.

Just to untangle the threads: Jochen Arbeit, the guitarist who came to world prominence with Die Haut and Einstürzende Neubauten; Achim Färber, a sought-after drummer with the likes of Project Pitchfork, Prag or Phillip Boa; and finally the bassist zeitblom, known from Sovetskoe Foto and through his award winning radio play works, especially in collaboration with author/publisher Michael Farin, with whom the piece "Kyffhäuser/Unternehmen Barbarossa/Träume vom Tod!" was musically adapted by Automat for the Berlin Volksbühne in 2012.
