Badminton In Tehran is Zwerm's first record in which all tracks are composed by Zwerm and it grooves like a Rube Goldberg-machine; DIY and slightly irregular. Zwerm is an electric guitar quartet based in Belgium and founded in 2007; its members are Toon Callier, Johannes Westendorp, Bruno Nelissen, and Kobe van Cauwenberghe. Over the years the group has collaborated with various composers, performers and visual artists. On Badminton In Tehran, all songs by Zwerm, and the album was produced by Rudy Trouvé. Zwerm has never strived for a one-sided artistic profile. During the past ten years the quartet has dallied among pure noise-improv, English renaissance music and contemporary composed music. The common denominator being not so much a particular stylistic view but rather a shared curiosity, Zwerms projects typically start with the question: 'what would happen if ...' Badminton In Tehran started with the question: 'what would happen if we would work with grooves for a few months?' After that, anything was allowed. The band created an online space where each member could drop personal demos, which could then be used freely by the others. Within a few months, a primordial soup of beats and grooves and little snippets of text was created. Once the recording sessions started, with producer Trouvé, this served as the raw material out of which ten new songs were crafted. Includes download.
