Friedl/Samartzis/Vorfeld comprises Berlin based musicians Reinhold Friedl and Michael Vorfeld and Melbourne sound artist Philip Samartzis. Using inside piano, prepared electric guitar, percussion, electronics, environmental sound and spatialisation, Friedl/Samartzis/Vorfeld investigates the intersection between acoustic and electronic sound to forge densities of space and texture. Friedl/Samartzis/Vorfeld formed in Berlin in 2006 and their debut CD will be published by Polish label Musica Genera in January 2009.

Samartzis uses field recordings of natural and constructed environments as his primary material to render densities of space and discrete zones of aural experience, which are arranged and mixed to reflect the acoustic and spatial complexities of everyday sound fields.
