Herbert Gollini and Helmut Wolfgruber both look back on a colourful past as key players in Vienna's electronic music history. Gollini has been part of the Cheap Records collective since its early days as a member of iO and The Private Lightning Six, while Wolfgruber's discography encompasses both pop hits with the Bingoboys, topping the US dance charts with 'How To Dance' in 1991, as well as experimental techno under names like din, Russell Kent, The Trumps (with Gerhard Potuznik), and 3M (with Patrick Pulsinger).
Now the two veterans have joined forces for their Stoned Tones project, launching Herbert Gollini's new Vienna Wildstyle imprint with their first collaboration release. The four tracks of 'Stoned Tones Vol 1 - The MUMOK Vienna Sessions' are largely constructed from samples of Gollini and Wolfgruber using a building as an instrument - Vienna's Museum of Modern Art, MUMOK.
The sampled sounds lend the duo's techno, electro, and free-form experimental tracks a unique percussive aesthetic, and the process of recording the sounds off the MUMOK's basalt lava tiling is documented in a video directed by Norbert Pruscha, which accompanies the digital release in a high-res version.
