These guys were once namechecked in an interview with Schnellertollermeier about them being one of their biggest influences. Even better, they mostly sound nothing like the Schnellers, except, perhaps, for their concentration on very small elements in the music!

“Vienna has a storied history as a ground-zero for new music. Radian, who call Vienna home, embodies the city’s spirit of innovation. Martin Brandlmayr (drums, electronics), Martin Siewert (guitar, electronics) and John Norman (bass) are stalwarts of the European contemporary music community.
Distorted Rooms presents a dazzling new elevation of Radian’s employment and manipulation of microtones with a new emphasis on abstracted guitar motifs, often employing a more loop-based or electronic approach to the guitar’s sonics. Radian’s visionary approach to composition speaks to lifetime working in forward-thinking music.
The trio expertly hone in on sounds often removed from the sheen of the recording process and mine them for unique, rich textural sound palettes which they then meticulously arrange.
Distorted Rooms creative process began with multi-stage recording of often the smallest of sounds from pick-scrapes to an amplifier’s latent hiss. These slivers of sound are then restructured and processed through a variety of techniques that transform them drastically.
Radian have always been interested in sounds that might be considered byproducts and maximizing their creative and aural potential. Smaller gestures like switching a pedal on and off or toggling the guitar’s pickup are mic’d and spun into textures that crackle and froth to fascinating effect.”
