The freedom of jazz and pop are the ease of the two defining elements of
Dephazz. On audio Elastique, the ninth album, there are swinging sound
collages between chanson ("Men, the trophies kiss," "Not Sally"),
Smash-bits ("The Ball Is My Friend") and classic jazz ("Prelude").
Electro-organic is probably the most apt description for the sound of
the 16 songs on audio lastique, coined by Pit Baumgartner's distinctive
mode of production: Cut & Glue - audio splitter to cut out from
their usual musical environment and stick on another site. Through
various filters, effects and audio-rotation yields the elastic
atmosphere, sometimes close to the radio play. However, whenever the
singer Pat Appleton appear, Karl Frierson, Barbara Lahr or Sandie
Wollasch to compress the audio components to groovy jazz or pop rolling.
