On Friday 3rd May, Liverpool’s Capstone Theatre is playing host to SONAR, a post-minimal-rock band from Switzerland. As a small chamber orchestra, they have just recorded their second album. SONAR creates a unique sound without the use of sequencers, loops or electronics. SONAR performs music in its purestform which results in spellbinding performances.

The critically acclaimed band’s unique name is short for Sonic Architecture which describes the band’s purpose, to conjure up breathtaking musical atmospheres, soundscapes and intricate aural spaces. SONAR’s trademark sound is shaped through use of two specially tuned guitars, a bass guitar, three small amplifiers and a basic drum kit.
