the bottomline
founded in 2017, is a multi-genre music project known for its captivating "melancholic-sweet-karthatic" sound. Franzis Lating (p, voc, synth) and Johannes Elia Nuß (dr, synth) draw on supposedly opposing musical traditions and combine them with great experimentation to create a "highly individual, novel" and "cinematic" experience that morphs somewhere between jazz, classical and electronic music. Lyrical figures, polyrhythmic overlays, unusual song structures and the artistic expression of Franzis' voice form the essence of their distinctive compositions. The content is about liberation, about the self-empowerment of the outcast - it is about bringing the themes into the resonating space of society, giving a musical voice to the unheard.
