PRCDR

Judith Schwarz extended drums

Manu Mayr double bass

In February 2025, PRCDR released its debut album—a small, exquisite ensemble consisting of just two musicians on double bass and an expanded drum kit, capable of creating fantastic, captivating soundscapes. PRCDR stands for “procedure,” and the seven tracks on the recording are equally understated in their titles: Scheme, Grind, Agenda, Routine, Practice, Measure, and Mode. A central concept of PRCDR is to use precise articulation to make the space pulsate naturally—thus transforming the space itself into a breathing element that dynamically supports the music. A rigorous sound aesthetic meets a rich realm of nuances, grooves, and multi-layered rhythmic structures; mechanical repetitions, experimental playing techniques, and an expanded instrumental palette meet clear conceptual guidelines; and subtlety meets dynamic power.
