Influences: Die Wilde Jagd
In 2006 a chance meeting in Düsseldorf’s Salon des Amateurs led to the formation of Die Wilde Jagd, a two piece band which dabble in the realms of synthpop, krautrock, electronica and beyond. Beck & Philipp incorporate blends of mesmerizing guitar riffs alongside synths, drums, percussion and everything in between to create lucious soundscapes. Their debut self titled album was released in May last year and this week will see them take to London's Waiting Room for a special live performance. Here are their influences.
Our band name is a reference to Peter Nicolai Arbo’s painting “Asgardsreien”, which depicts the “Wild Hunt”, a phenomenon described in European mythology about a ghostly group of hunters and valkyries riding across the sky during the so called “Rauhnächte” or “rough nights” around christmas time.
