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.

Album available on Bandcamp or by email at contact@bruit-asso.org, for CHF 15.– including shipping.
Over the course of six tracks, the explorations develop increasingly calm, contemplative aspects. Exciting as an adventure, because in freestyle exchange the four create a fascinating flow with constantly shifting sound layers. Neue Zeitschrift für Musik
