House Arafna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

House Arafna is a German post-industrial - band (own name: "Angstpop"), the early 1990s was established by Mr. and Mrs. Arafna to life. Characteristic is the use of analog synthesizers with threatening oscillator vibrations, noise rhythms and frequency modulations. The sound collages often have a bizarre and disturbing effect, which is underlined by screeching and / or roaring "singing". Over the years, Haus Arafna gained popularity beyond the industrial scene, also among listeners of electro , EBM and black metal . All works have so far appeared on the industrial label Galakthorrö . In addition to the unlimited CDs, there is always a hand-numbered, limited vinyl edition.

style

Haus Arafna describes his sound, especially in relation to the sound carrier Butterfly , as follows:

"Oscillators instead of instruments; frequency modulation instead of notes; voltage control instead of computer control; abstraction instead of perfection; reduction instead of saturation; high density instead of high fidelity; energy instead of entertainment "

The music sounds accordingly: Synthetic sounds limited to the essentials, musical roots can be recognized equally in minimal electronics , EBM and in early industrial à la SPK , Throbbing Gristle etc.

Trivia

Dirk Manske writes in his book Hass. One try. that the music by Haus Arafna "can be understood as an alternative, ie non-written description of hatred".

November Növelet

The side project of the Haus Arafna cast is November Növelet . In contrast to the aggressive keynote of Haus Arafna, the music of November Növelet is rather calm and sometimes seems dreamy. Songs like Shouts of Joy are often played at industrial events.
