Tepih unites Samo Kutin, Gaudenz Badrutt, Tomaž Grom, and Jonas Kocher — four musicians bound by years of collaboration within the Šalter Ensemble, a fertile meeting ground for Swiss and Slovene experimental music.
Their debut album Šablona presents a music of layered coexistence: sonic found objects, fractured melodies, irregular pulses, and shimmering electronic textures intertwine. Rather than striving for unison, these contrasting elements evolve in parallel, responding to one another in a fluid, organic exchange.
