Telepherique

About

Telepherique, an enigmatic force from Germany, operated in the liminal spaces between sound and silence, crafting immersive soundscapes from 1989 to 1995. Their work, a subterranean current of dissonant noise and aerial soundscapes, often found its form in the cloistered confines of cassette tapes, with five releases traversing this format. The trio of Danijela, Klaus, and Rene Jochim conjured a world where sound felt tactile, their compositions resembling the slow glide of a cable car through fog-bound mountains — steady, unhurried, yet charged with anticipation. Their release "Kein Teil Dieser Welt" on Marginal Talent captured the essence of their dark ambient vision, presenting a bottomless abyss of sound where each layer of tape manipulation revealed another facet of their atmospheric textures. Collaborations with entities like Vromb and De Fabriek further expanded their subterranean reach, weaving Telepherique's distinct auditory rituals into broader tapestries of noise and ambiance. The group's preference for diverse formats, including the rare VHS release "Desensibilisierung / Kein Teil Dieser Welt," underscores their commitment to exploring the physicality of sound in varied forms.
