INFLUUT (Nat Cilia – saxophone & voice, Daniel Maszkowicz – electronics & synthesis) is water and earth played by fire and air, the movement of invisible fluids and the breath in electricity, the perpetual flow of a river at its estuary, the entrance door for altered perceptions, the gateway between two multiverses, the passage between the undergrounds and overgrounds.

The essence of INFLUUT’s music has an origin in the encounter of two souls with multiple faces and lives. Two opposite yet complementary approaches meet for exploring ways to organic harmonies and sound spatialization.

INFLUUT’s first album ostĭum on BANDCAMP

This tour will present INFLUUT’s first album ostĭum containing four original pieces built as organic movements, following cycles that may be found in nature together with a subtle and intriguing technological component.

FASLANE (MO) and INFLUUT (CH) were planing a joint tour in March, including live shows in Macau, Hong Kong, Taipei, Hsinchu, Tainan, and potentially some cities in Japan. Their first show was to be on 1st March at LMA (Live Music Association) in Macau, which was also to be INFLUUT’s first show in their Asian Tour that included Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.

Due to travel restrictions emitted by several countries, including Taiwan that forbids anyone having travelled through China, Macau and Hong Kong during the 14 previous days, INFLUUT had to cancel its Macau and Hong Kong shows, FASLANE had to cancel it’s Taiwan shows. This double streaming live show, that could be organized thanks to Cinema Spoutnik in Geneva and Live Music Association in Macau, will finally be their only encounter during this tour.

INFLUUT gives its full support to anyone from the People’s Republic of China that is living secluded in the constant fear of an infection by the coronavirus outbreak, with special thoughts to our musician friends form Wuhan.

We hope the connection quality will allow this double live streaming, come and share with us this unique experiment.

Based in Macau, FASLANE is an experimental duo formed in 2015. One of the most obscure acts in the circle, Faslane has been developing their fusion of noise and drone for the past two years. In this project, the two members draw upon the sound of early electronic music to create the atmosphere of a modern world on the brink of war.

    • March 26th 2020 – CANCELLED DUE TO PANDEMIC SITUATION IN EUROPE Sound Crue, Sapporo JP

Despite the world wide pandemic situation, we are glad that our Asian tour with electroacoustic jazz duo INFLUUT (Nat Cilia, saxophone – Daniel Maszkowicz, electronics) went pretty well after all. The tour started with two cancellations in Macau and Hong Kong due to travel restriction, so we started directly with three successful shows in Taiwan, namely Taipei, Hsinchu and Tainan.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our last show in Sapporo in order to be able to catch our last plane back to Switzerland. Our tour closing show was in Tokyo at Kagurane with amazing artists, we feel grateful for having been able to make it!
