FunktionItension

FunktionItension is an experimental music and sound art project founded by American musician and composer Marc Loss. The project's work is characterized by its use of unconventional sounds and instrumental preparations, drawing inspiration from avant-garde and noise music traditions.

Born out of a desire to explore the tactile and temporal aspects of sound, FunktionItension's music is often described as sonically dense and physically immersive. Through extended instrumental techniques and extended instrumental timbres, Marc Loss creates unpredictable and emotive soundscapes.

FunktionItension's live performances and recordings often feature Loss playing unusual instruments and prepared acoustic guitars. His use of unconventional materials and techniques allows for a high degree of sonic experimentation and unpredictability.

The project's work has been released on a small number of independent labels, with a limited but dedicated audience. Despite this, FunktionItension has gained attention from those familiar with the avant-garde and experimental music scene.

Musically, FunktionItension's work draws comparisons to artists such as Max Eastley, Walter Husak, and others who push the boundaries of sound and instrument. Critics have described the project's music as generating an emotional resonance akin to performance art.

Marc Loss continues to create and perform as FunktionItension, pushing the boundaries of sound and challenging his own and others' perceptions of music. As an experimental project, FunktionItension aims to continuously redefine what music can be.
