About Portmanteau
Electronics and drums, Christian Taison Heiß and Greulix Schrank, that is the artist duo Portmanteau from Munich! Theater, film music and audiovisual installations characterize their artistic creative phases, sample-based electrobeats determine their direction. The center emerges from the artistic process, as they show in their project Portmanteau-Labs: Old things are collected, a new context is given to it, other content is created and finally the result is something absolutely new - sample art. With these influences, the music project Portmanteau has existed since 2001 and will continue to prove its experimental character in the future!
What's new?
After a long break from pop music, their new album "essence of absence" is the result of a long journey. It combines clear pop elements with bulky sound collages and is always one thing: abstract with a love of detail. The spectrum ranges from pieces such as "sleepy rebellion", a composition more reminiscent of electronica, to drifty instrumental hip-hop such as "Planet Seal", whose compelling groove immediately gets your head nodding.
