Biography
Under the name Phyne, Swiss producer duo Christoph Biastoch and Sascha Tittmann have been combining electronic music with experimental, cross-genre songwriting since 2020.
Phyne walks a fine line between ambient and dancefloor, pop song and soundtrack andcan best be assigned to the genres electropop, downtempo, ambient pop and synthpop.
The tracks are created in a constant dialogue evolving exciting, atmospheric, cinematic soundscapes that tell stories without becoming intrusive. The high sonic independence as well as transparency and precision of the electronic processing stand in the foreground.
Tittmann's vocal interludes vary between head voice and whispered bass voice and are staged naturally as well as with autotuning and vocoding. Tittmann's sometimes dark emotional world contrasts with bright, catchy, and at times anthemic melodic lines and chord progressions. Unpolished analog recordings and guitar work meet synthetic textures and sounds.
The as waterfall release planned debutalbum «The Highest High» features Mariel Zambellis (Vocals), Evaron Orange (Rap) and Alain Pasquier (Trombone) as guest musicians.
