DOKO

Sound artist Gregor Siedl (Les chroniques de L’inutile, Parallel Asteroid) and drummer Nicolas Chkifi (Fnussjen, Fenna, Gang) have been a close-knit duo for many years with a common drive for improvisational music. The duo focusses on humanized electronics and beastly batting on their second release. (el NEGOCITO Records) Whilst Nicolas has a deep rooting in jazz, African rhythms and a tendency for yoga extravaganza, Gregor´s background entails in sound art, contemporary music, Marxist philosophy and botanophilia. DOKO, the band name is based on a Japanese word that can be translated as the exclamation « Where? » and pinpoints the essence of their sonic ventures. It is in the momentum of navigating into the unknown, that the spirit of the music shines and enchants the most.
