SHRAMM

SHRAMM is a contemporary German trio project in which Jörg Wähner is the drummer and central driving force. It’s not a “band of Jörg Wähner” in the sense of a solo backing group, but rather a collective trio project he co-leads. SHRAMM is a Berlin/Leipzig-based ensemble that sits at the intersection of jazz (especially avant-garde / experimental jazz), minimalism and electronic / club music influences. 

Their concept is to blend acoustic jazz trio playing with rhythmic structures inspired by electronic music (techno, experimental club styles) plus repetitive, hypnotic, minimalist forms. So instead of traditional jazz improvisation, they often work with loop-like structures, polyrhythms, and “club-oriented” textures played live on acoustic instruments. 

Jörg Wähner is a well-known German drummer who also played with Apparat (live band) and various jazz and experimental projects

In SHRAMM, Jörg brings his jazz drumming technique with electronic/production thinking applied to live drums. SHRAMM is best understood as a modern experimental jazz-electronic trio led (musically driven) by drummer Jörg Wähner, focused on merging jazz instrumentation with club-music aesthetics.
