Runden is a collaboration by Martin Brugger, Simon Popp (both of jazz quintet Fazer), and neo-classical pianist Carlos Cipa. Their debut LP is a conceptual record reflecting on Minimal Music, Afrobeat, and Dub Techno of the late 90s/early 2000s. While Cipa’s solo works build on clear harmonies, for the recordings of Runden he prepared the piano to make it sound like a faintly tonal percussion instrument and his mechanical patterns contrast the syncopated drum grooves of Popp and the deep and sparse basslines of Brugger. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Runden">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
