Frank Schültge "Blumm" was born in 1968 in Bremen and lives in Berlin now where he is working as a musician and a producer for radioplays. He has previously released albums with Cologne's Staubgold, Tomlab, and Berlin's Morr Music and with Lichten presents his first stateside release. Besides his contributions to the Sack & Blumm project (together with Harald "Sack" Ziegler) he is involved in the production of radioplays with Rininat Rebresch ("Rebresch & Blumm") and with an instrumental chamber-postrock trio from Berlin called KINN. Though his music often finds a welcome ear with adventurous electronic listeners his songs are spun entirely with live instruments in real-time. The sound is naturalistic and free in a way that often leaves people hard pressed to find any modern comparisons.
