Zero Degree

Zero Degree was founded in 2004 by Matthias Erhard who already had a long background in experimental music. During his 2 year stay in Canada from 1999 to 2001 he discovered minimal and idm, which opened him up to a whole new perspective of ways to express his creativity. In 2007 he met Bernhard Korth, whose main attention was on creating ambient soundscapes influenced by synthesizer pioneers like Klaus Schulze. While Matthias' emphasis is focused on programming complex rhythmical structures, Bernhard loves to create endless evolving pads and dreamy spheres to get lost in between time and space. Together they create a very atmospheric mixture of minimalistic rhythmical structures and lush ambient sounds.
