»Empty Airport«, Chra’s (CHRISTINA NEMEC) first LP on Editions Mego may be read as a reference to Brian Eno’s ambient classic, though this time we find ourselves in a territory of transit that sounds like a dystopian swan song on civilizatoric debris - a heteropia in which the listener restores himself in a
surrounding that is emptied of human remains, having left just some ghostly echoes behind.

Nemec, who is a member of various band projects like Shampoo Boy (together with Peter Rehberg and Christian Schachinger) or the female berzerker formation SV Damenkraft, has succeeded in producing a significant LP, that merges dark techno and industrial with found sounds and ambient scapes, resulting in a compositoric minimalism that is ushering us in a state of existential trance.

Chra is the alter ego of Viennese author, DJ, music addict and radio/TV presenter Christina Nemec. After a period experimenting with low frequencies and noise effects, chra started to work on more club-friendly beats, using sinewaves processed through a tape recorder and other analogue and digital
tools to allude to landscapes, territories, silence and extraordinary and extreme situations. She is also a member of Shampoo Boy and SV Damenkraft, has made performance works with Lydia Lunch, and runs her own label, Comfortzone.

chra plays with sinuswaves, low frequencies, deep bases – created through shareware soundeffects - processed through taperecorder and analogue and digital tools: logic, ableton live, 4-track-machine, sampler, and bassguitar …

Main topics: landscapes, territories, silence, extraordinary and extreme situations, challenge. chra has been playing shows all over austria, germany, NYC, slovenia, norway, riga, london, poland, mexico, argentina, chile, uruguay and more ...

bandmember with: SV DAMENKRAFT, Pasajera Oscura and SHAMPOO BOY
