Biography
1. A german industrial / minimal / electro duo from Berlin. Project started as electro-acoustic experiments in 1979, but in 1980-1984 smoothly moved from essential musique concrète to minimal electro / power electronics / sound collage / pulsation loops area.
Cinéma Vérité released four cassette tapes in first half of the 80's, and also appeared on several compilations until late 90's. Project definitely ended with dead of initiator member Andreas Hoffmann (aka Liquidski) in 1998 and with final tracks released on hommage compilation "Liquidski Und Freunde - Mit Festem Gruss" in 1999.
members:
- Andreas Hoffmann = artist, writer, musician, graphic designer and frequent collaborator with Asmus Tietchens (Tietchens / Liquidsky) and Horst Petersen (Jetzmann/L.Ski)
- Klaus Höppner
2. "Like the Beach Boys in a colder climate, Cinéma Vérité was started in 2008 by Anglo-Torontonian Zachary Gray and Franco-Montrealer Guillaume Harvey. Having met in the back row of Concordia University film classes, Gray and Harvey began a long-distance song-writing relationship after Gray moved to Toronto to major in film at Ryerson University.
Signed to Le Grand Magistery in 2010 (best known as Stars’ former label), Cinéma Vérité will be releasing their debut album, “Sunrise, Sunset”, this summer. With their background in film studies, Cinéma Vérité creates music that is as much atmospheric soundscape as it is catchy-as-hell pop."
