Helved Rüm is a duo of improvised/electroacoustic music formed by drummer Julien Chamla and electroacoustician Simon Henocq. The device is very simple, a microphone stands above the drums and the sounds are transformed by a real time processing. This is not only a way to transfigure the frictions, screeching and all kinds of sounds developed on the drums, but this formula also allows a strong and unusual interplay between the two musicians. Helved Rüm’s music goes from very organic and animalistic feelings to a massive and industrial energy. Within free improvisation they are exploring a high range of dynamics and a multiplicity of sounds and densities.
