about
the music
Singer-songwriter Sascha Tittmann and electronic music producer Benjamin Müller combine their different approaches to create surprisingly hypnotic and intimate songs.
What may sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture merge into a contemporary and constantly dialogue between the electronic and analogue – and connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms and patterns.
Phyne's immersive songs and live sets are surprisingly fragile yet driving. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts. The lyrics fluctuate between a certain tiredness towards the everyday madness of our time and supportive, sensitive statements.

this sounds very unique and stays "within the box" - which I think is a very good combination

It's an aberrant track with an enterprising arrangement and your somewhat idiomatic uniqueness.
