Individual Totem

German Industrial Electronic Duo

During the late '80s, the German two-piece band INDIVIDUAL TOTEM was formed by electronic music pioneers Bernd Madl and Mathias Knopp. Their progressive electro-industrial music beyond the typical 4/4 dancefloor was often described as "intelligent electro". The band was signed to Off Beat in Europe and Pendragon in the United States and released several now-classic CDs including S.E.T.I., Mind Sculptures Flesh and WWW. After 6 years of silence INDIVIDUAL TOTEM was revoked by Bernd Madl and Jürgen Moßgraber joined the project. This new set-up released a lot of creativity and resulted in the new album Kyria 13 which will be released in August 2013. The album is based on a SF story. Following the story line gives them the opportunity to visit a wide variety of electronic genres. Members: Bernd Madl: vocals, synthesizer,drums, lyrics Jürgen Moßgraber: mastermix, vocals, synthesizer (since 2013) Mathias Knopp: sampler, synthesizer (till 2008)
