1WAVE

1WAVE is a Berlin-based duo formed by Tim Wyskida and Dirk Dresselhaus, merging decades of exploratory practice in experimental, noise, and avant-garde music. Their collaboration centers on a single, evolving sonic arc: a slowly rising wave that emerges from near-silence, unfolds through a fragile, almost ASMR-like microcosm of texture and tone, and steadily intensifies into a dense interplay of improvised melody and concrete noise.

Over the full duration of a piece, 1WAVE shapes a continuous build toward an overwhelming peak of pure volume and saturation—before the wave finally collapses back into silence. Both minimal and extreme, their approach blurs the line between composition and process, emphasizing duration, tension, and transformation.

With a name that playfully nods to genre labels like No Wave and New Wave, 1WAVE strips the idea down to a singular gesture: one movement, one ascent, one release.
