The music of Berlin-based composer and guitarist Torsten Papenheim (*1980) is located somewhere between melody and noise – to be taken either as a combination or a counterpoint. His music can be heard on several records and during the recent years he played numerous concerts in Germany and all over Europe. As a performing musician Torsten Papenheim is active as soloist, with guitar-drums-duo rant and his quartet Tru Cargo Service. Besides that he has recently established two new groups: Karm (with Prague-based reeds player Michal Wróblewski) and a Duke-Ellington-project together with Daniel Kartmann, percussionist from Stuttgart. In his compositions Papenheim often works with unusual tunings and deliberately uses ambiguities to enable improvisational freedom in the interpretation of his works. From 2004 to 2016 he was running the CD label schraum
