TROUM is a duo located in Bremen, Germany, and was founded in 1997. Before TROUM, the two members Glit[S]ch and Baraka[H] were active in the influential ambient industrial group Maeror Tri which existed from 1988 to 1996.

TROUM is the old German word for "dream". The dream is seen as a central manifestation of the unconscious. It symbolizes the aim of TROUM to lead the listener into a hypnotizing dream-state of mind, a pre-verbal and primal consciousness sphere.

Their work is influenced by post-industrial, minimal and drone-music. Both members use a variety of instruments, sound objects and field recordings to build a multi-layered and highly atmospheric dreaming-muzak. Their sound could be described as "dark atmospheric ambient industrial" or simply "Tiefenmusik". TROUM don't work with synths, samplers or computer-soundsources, the sounds are “handmade" to reach a deeper sensitivity.

With their concerts all over the world TROUM have influenced the consciousness of the audience with their dreamscape-drones.
So also at ZugZwang IV --- all aboard, the journey can begin.
