System der Dinge is the discussion of existence, music as creative way of expression. The name of the band expresses that the world does not consist of isolated objects but as a system of coherences, which are as important as the essence of things itself. In their lyrics System der Dinge deal with the relation of the inner world with the outside reality.
Since the release of their first demo tape in 1992 the two band members Ken Gubler (27) and Oliver Jäggi (29) have followed their way and developed their own style. Beside the highly noticed tape "Das zweite Gesicht" the band appeared on several CD compilations. Their sound creates an intense fusion of modern electronic sounds and rhythms with classic elements of Dark Electro. The aim of the band is to create contemporary music without following too much modern trends.
In November 1999 their first CD "Fear Forms Function" was released on the US label DSBP. The 12 tracks on album contain older material as well as new songs. For the only song in French a female guest vocalist did the vocal part.
The live performances of the band have changed from audio playback to the use of sequencer and synthesisers, giving the band a better possibility to interact with the sound.
