Technophobia

Music Album about our Fears (2025)

Technophobia is a music album set in a fictional city with supposedly ideal conditions. Everything works, everyone works. In reasonably quiet streets, occasionally crossed by distanced people (individuals!) with moderate emotions. Everything seems clear, rational and explainable. Emotions are under control, people are always ready for the next innovation, the next step. If it weren't for the fear. Of the future, of their fellow human beings, of their own existence.

“Shades of orchestral simmering pair with pulsing percussion and haunting vocals to result in a riveting atmospheric success from Rio Wolta.” – Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound

“Verschroben, weird, arty.” – Lea Inderbitzin, SRF

“Ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Und was für eines! Wolta singt mit einer ans Meditative grenzenden Abgeklärtheit, die repetitiven Klangmotive – opernhaftes Jubilieren, militärisches Getrommel, Sphärenakkorde mit feistem Bassteppich, folkige Akustikgitarren, kreischende Eisenbahnbremsen – subvertieren jedes Zeitverständnis und zwingen zum gedanklichen Driften.“ – Hanspeter Kuenzler, Loop Musikzeitung
