KOMPULS is the solo project of tim kniep, best known as one half of the industrial duo synapscape. a longtime figure in the german electronic music scene, kniep is recognized for his intense vocal delivery, complex rhythmic structures, and innovative sound design.

‘interaltro’, the debut album by KOMPULS, is an intricate fusion of depth and complexity, where rhythmic noise provides a dynamic foundation. the relentless pulse serves as a canvas for eclectic sonic threads, capturing the spirit of the times with subtlety and nuance.

balancing raw intensity with refinement, the album ventures into experimental territory, propelled by broken beats and technoid influences that create a surreal auditory experience. kniep’s sound design intertwines electronic, idm and glitch, creating a constantly shifting klangteppich – a sound carpet – where timbres evolve and fragment in perpetual motion.

ultimately, ‘interaltro’ stands as a cohesive artistic statement, inviting the listener into a layered exploration of structure and fragmentation, where sound unfolds with intellectual rigor and unpredictability.
