"TAR / Becomings" is Sequence of Events' first adventure in a psychomagickal Industrial and Post Punk infused musical world released via Subject To Restrictions Discs. The band, consisting of Deniz Ahmet Saridas and Joshua Gottmanns, present their own personal soundtrack to a hypothetical, ever-changing reality that will never again produce its own status quo.
Sequence of Events' songs, artworks and videos embrace the uncertainty and formlessness of a new world. Rather than being paralyzed by fear and confusion, they find pleasure in being driven faster and deeper into this vortex, a comfort that oozes from their delicate compositions, cryptic rhythms, and lyrics of loose poetry.
Growing up in the post-industrial wasteland of West Germany both spent their childhoods surrounded by blighted farmland and abandoned open-cast mines, living in social housing and the temples of religious fanatics. Saridas and Gottmanns individually found their way into fine art studies after already having experimented inside the local music scenes of the Rhein-Ruhr area which had been forged by Kraut, Punk, and raw forms of Techno.
The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, all things electronic and eccentric, are clearly still a source of inspiration for the two self-taught musicians. Sometimes Sequence of Events sound like Shoegaze from a near future where the English Channel already evaporates under an inflating sun, sometimes they remind you of psychomagickal Industrial or Electronica from a parallel dimension where the Internet must have preceded the invention of analog synthesizers.
