Overmacht means "force majeure"—a concept that perfectly captures the essence of the electronic music duo of María Pandiello and Jacco Gardner. It represents the uncontrollable forces that shape musical improvisation,where sound unfolds in response to the moment. At its core, Overmacht is musical dialogue with the unexpected, the accidental, and the fragile nature of creation.
“Magonia” is a debut album that blends playful precision with emotional depth, it's about deep listening and holding sound in time. Jacco Gardner's intricate melodic layers and multi-synth soundsculpting intertwine with María Pandiello's urgent rhythms and sampling techniques, revealing an ever-changing landscape of rhythm and melody.
