A superb combination at this live event, held 1991 in Cologne. The two musicians joined their forces to create an outstanding work of Berlin School / rhythm and drum music. 3 long pieces show a good expresion of the evening. Overall, a synth album with plenty of live atmosphere, an attractive and unusual emphasis on live drums, and involving variations from abstract to highly integrated sounds.

Harald Grosskopf is a legendary drummer who was among the first (if not the first) to play drum together with sequencers. He was a regular guest on albums by Klaus Schulze in the second half of the seventies. After he’d joined Ashra, the band headed more into a rock direction, never forgetting their electronic roots. Steve Baltes became a member of Ashra in the nineties. His electronics gave the pioneers a modern approach. Axel Manrico Heilhecker is considered on of Germany’s leading guitarists. They already work together as Sunya Beat (Harald and Axel) and N-Tribe (Harald and Steve).
"Four Times Three" (4x3) is released under their own names. The four tracks on "Four Times Three" all have traces of the great classic Ashra albums…

Already an obscure record when it was initially released in 1980, Harald Grosskopf's Synthesist has become something of a cult item, the kind of album that inspires devotion in aficionados of early electronica and German music. Grosskopf himself has kept steadily busy as a solo musician and session drummer since the late '60s, being associated with early lineups of the Scorpions and Wallenstein and working with Lilli Berlin and Cosmic Jokers, among many others. But despite his long underground career, his debut solo Synthesist may ultimately stand as his defining work and as a key representation of the path of electronic music.

Sunya Beat (1998). Axel Manrico Heilhecker meets Harald Grosskopf, who is searchin for a producer, to set up a Solo-drum recording with him. Axel just finished recordings with Samson Gassama, a Djembe player from Gambia, and encourages Harald in developing such a recording based on acoustic ethno drums. During the production Harald asks Axel to put some of his Guitar playing to his drums, and even two already existing tracks of Axel, "Sky Unlimited" and "Travolta Drive", actually planned for his "Fishmoon" - album are added and overdubbed with Harald's percussion.
In 1998 Axel Manrico Heilhecker and Harald Grosskopf released their first common album as "Sunya Beat". It was produced by Axel in order to feature Haralds ability, to create great dynamic sequences on ancient acoustic instruments and selfmade trash-drums…
