Eternus - b°tong

B°Tong is the solo project of an experimental electronic musician Chris Sigdell formed in 2004 in Basel, Switzerland.

A mysterious and shadowy figure he has ended up assembling sounds of such chilling creepiness that it makes Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol.2 sound like a collection of sugar-coated lullabies. The sound of B°Tong feels a lot like an agonizingly slow crawl through a dark tunnel where the dim light at the other end never gets closer.

B°Tong builds an interesting body of work that moves in various directions at the same time. From dealings with ambient and isolationism on one hand and experimental music, ranging from the soft microsound end to the more engaging noise end, in a clever combination of ideas.

Since 2005 B°Tong has played over 100 concerts in Europe and North America. He has appeared at festivals such as Ausklang, Sinus Series, Shift, Lab 30, and released 10 albums of music on labels like: NoEcho Records (United Kingdom) and Gears of Sand (United States).
