SUSPIRIUM

Suspirium biography
A British progressive electronic duo from Ramsgate, Kent, Suspirium consist of Brian Vogt (keyboards/percussion) and Tony Osbourne (guitars/percussion). Playing an industrial-inspired take on the kosmische musik of early Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, SUSPIRIUM craft a varied and experimental array of instrumentals blending synths, processed guitars and looped samples, ranging from dark, shadowy and abstract ambience to melodic and accessible pieces, occasionally with programmed beats and sequencers.

Their style has drawn comparisons to Fripp & Eno, Cluster, Conrad Schnitzler, Heldon, Peter Frohmader and Asmus Tietchens. Vogt and Osbourne released over two dozen albums on cassette from 1991 to 1998 before entering a long hiatus, but would resume activity in the mid-2010s, remastering and archiving most of their discography on Bandcamp and CD-R while continuing their prolificacy with a steady stream of new material. SUSPIRIUM are reminiscent of Lightwave, the Interstellar Cementmixers, the Nightcrawlers, Arzathon, Ash Ra Tempel and Sky Burial.
