FUO

As an art ensemble, Fuo alternates unreliably between being a sextet with full string section and surprisingly appearing as a minimalist noise duo. Right now comprised of drummer Martin Schwendemann, bassist Leif Rumbke and a growing pile of cable salad and devices like floor organ, bells, keyboard and further electronics, Fuo is exploring musical formats under the 'sometimes, less is less'-ideology, at least concerning personnel. Both members bring their honed-in musical skills of numerous past bands glory to Fuo. Full-length albums Shmuzzle and Anachron were released in 2007 and 2009 respectively. The third one is currently in the mix by Daniel Gädicke of Xrfarflight fame and should follow in late 2011.
