V.A. (VARIOUS ARTISTS) (COMPILATIONS) — R L E (2020)
More Info
"Every summer since 2017, attenuation circuit has been organising the re:flexions sound-art festival for experimental music at its homebase in Augsburg, Germany. For the 2020 edition of the festival, the label has produced a CD album. It is included in the festival ticket, but also available as a release in its own right. The artists featured on the CD are those who were originally invited to the festival. Due to the current medical precautions and international travel limitations, the line-up of the festival on 4th July had to be changed, but the CD gives a very good idea of the festival's original concept.
Individual artists applied for the festival and were matched in trio or quartet configurations by label head and festival organiser Sascha Stadlmeier aka EMERGE to create new collaborations. In anticipation of performing live at the festival together, the newly created line-ups produced the tracks for this album by way of remote collaborations.
Bu.d.d.A., Stadlmeier's own latest duo project with Chris Sigdell aka btong, joined forces with trumpet player Fabio Fabbri and Tangerine Dream violinist Hoshiko Yamane to create a haunting yet mind-opening space (or laboratory?) scenario with their track human interbreeding.
Agente Costura plays her sewing machine and lays the beat for sudden descent, a track that might be described as post-industrial noise-electro (in the 1980s Detroit meaning of electro) in a trio with Occupied Head and Boban Ristevski on various electronics.
Gintas K, Calineczka, and Wilfried Hanrath weave a delicate tapestry of lowercase drone sounds that is interspersed with fragile metallic sounds of mysterious origin that even coalesce into strange melodies at times. This calm yet by no means monotonous piece is called closer musings.
With Lee Enfield, Waterflower, and KOMPRIPIOTR, we dive deep into drone ambient territory, yet with a noisy edge buried underneath the lush layers of harmony. The track's title scare up might refer to the noisy beast that is lurking down there, waiting to come to the surface. And sure enough the piece turns into a rather suspenseful ride on the soundwaves.
The final track ferch closes the album with meditative post-rock drone ambient. N(91), a veteran of guitar-based drone music who is always N, but numbers his projects/releases, meets like-minded duo deep, who use two electric bass guitars and some electronics to create their music."
