FVRTVR (the duo of Fritz Welch and Guido Henneböhl) uses a much subtler palette of dry rasps, computerised tweets and alien whooshes, building a dehumanised electroacoustic landscape into which Welch spits angry growls and gasps. THE WIRE / August 2010
The duo of Guido Henneböhl and Fritz Welch contrive to use basic instrumentation (electronics, percussion, and wayward vocalising) in crude and primitive ways, to deliver themselves of many dark and brooding observations. Switching between sullen, sulky noise and insane vocal chattering, these two mental cases create sustained and disturbing moods at their best, especially when they allow themselves space to stretch out and tunnel down into their innermost black brain-lobes. The press note is also rather surreal, describing the release as ’a cycle of dry yodel and crack’. THE SOUND PROJECTOR / Ed Pinsent
Recorded in the basement of an old post office by Fvrtvr, which is a duo of Guido Hennebohl (electronics) and Fritz Welch (percussion and voice). ... This is a pretty fine disc of improvised music. Somewhere between soft and loud, noise and onkyo is where this duo position themselves. The voice is clearly a voice, but the words are all non-sense ... VITAL WEEKLY / Frans de Waard
’Demon Cycle 1-9’ is ultimately a challenging and well-played release. Niente Records' claim that Fvrtvr ’bring[s] coherence to fragmentation’ is an accurate one. Shards of sound litter the stereo field like spiky webs, waiting like hidden traps to enchant, distract, or mutilate the unsuspecting listener. Count me in for the next one, I'm curious to see where these guys are going with their sound. FOXY DIGITALIS / Mike Griffin
