Im Rahmen einer Radiosendung für improvisierte Musik entstanden 2007 erste Tracks live on air im Freien Senderkombinat Hamburg (FSK), aus denen sich eine weitere Zusammenarbeit der beiden Musiker entwickelte. Die Tracks entstehen intuitiv und improvisiert, lehnen sich aber durchaus an eine Noise-Ästhetik an. Die Musik von phase~in ist dynamisch und bewegt sich zwischen leisen Mikrosounds und Klangausbrüchen.Gunnar Lettow – bass & live-electronics & fxSylvia Necker – raumstation & fx
