2011-2012: neuschlaufen / nschlfn

neuschlaufen is the name of a krautrock-inspired music project started by John Tuffen (guitar/vocals/loops) and Steve Carter (drums/percussion/loops), but since April 2012 consisting of Ash Sagar (Bass/Electronics) and John Tuffen (Guitar/vocals/loops)

Based in York (UK) and gigging since February 2011, we are now taking a more improvisation-based approach to our live performances - which keeps things interesting... Recordings of past gigs can be found on the right ->

Whisperin' and Hollerin' had this to say about our début performance:

"neuschlaufen (yes, all lower case) may only be two in number, with some of the savviest and most innovative use of a loop pedal, they manage to produce a dense wall of sound by means of a live drum kit and multiple instruments played through a rack of effects. The songs - largely instrumental pieces - build and build around simple motifs repeated ad infinitum in an approximation of Suicide's early recordings. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Can and Neu, there's a quirkiness as well as a relentlessness about the music that's deeply hypnotic. It was pleasing to see a fair few had turned out early enough to witness the set."
