OWWL — Tree speaks to Stone; Stone speaks to Water

"two parts of Bonn�s German drone duo OWWL are more of antagonists than partners. While both might cite similar influences �spanning from glacial drones to hazed out ambient �there is a huge difference in perception. For one half the music is the sonic equivalent to modern art, for the other it is a vessel for mystic progress. This might be a reason for the unusual instrumentation: Mick Schulz shapes the feedbacking of his guitar with numerous effect pedals, Stefan Otto plays an 1890�s Reed Organ. The key to their work is concentration, like refining Malevich�s black square through alchemical processes. The results are drones that are radically minimalistic, densely atmospheric and subliminally fragile." [label info]
