The Flanger project was founded in 1998 by Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom Heart)and Bernd Friedmann (aka Burnt Friedman),who have both been active in the music business since the early 1990s.The two musicians met up to program their first album "Templates" in Santiago de Chile in 1998.Their musical goal was to generate their own vision of non-repetitive,organic and extremely complex music that is far removed from the well-trodden paths of "techno" and other established styles of so-called "contemporary music". The joint product "Templates" was released the following year on the British label Ntone/Ninja Tune,together with separate 12-inch pressings of several tracks. The success of this debut album convinced "Flanger" to immediately commence the production of a second LP,which was recorded,once again in Santiago de Chile,in March 1999.Entitled "Midnight Sound",this follow-up album was released on Ntone/Ninja Tune in November 2000.The release of "Midnight Sound" prompted Uwe Schmidt and Bernd Friedmann,who are renowned for their very special shows,to consider the idea of live "Flanger " presentations.They are currently planning a series of appearances that will take them to Brazil,among other places."Flanger" will be accompanied on-stage by Jacki Liebezeit,the drummer of the legendary "Can" formation.links
