Skalpell

Originally formed in 1995 by Harry Weissen, Henry Favretto (aka hexdump, ecm) and Bruno Ruch (aka Sleepwalk, left the project in 1996) as a means to translate the perceived reality into an appropriate musical realm Skalpell is striving to provide some kind of projection of images invoked by the subconscious and seen through the minds eye. With its roots in the so-called 'industrial music' of the early 90s Skalpell has come a long way touching various musical styles ranging from harsh noise trainings to haunting dark ambient soundscapes with occasional regurgitations of popular elements. As a natural progression the work has also recently culminated into the composition of soundtracks.
